UK: Judge who called equal marriage a ‘shambles’ retires
A High Court judge who was previously warned for making critical comments about same-sex marriage retired today.
Sir Paul told The Times: “So much energy and time has been put into this debate for 0.1 per cent of the population, when we have a crisis of family breakdown.
“It’s gratifying that marriage in any context is centre stage … but it [equal marriage] is a minority issue. We need a much more focused position by the government on the importance of marriage.”
The Press Association reports he had described the government’s policy for England and Wales as a “shambles”.
The High Court judge runs a charity to combat the breakdown of families, the Marriage Foundation.
