Austerity! What austerity?

One of the things about governments that has fascinated me for years is the fact that, regardless of how much the rest of us are encouraged to "tighten our belts", they can always find the cash - usually large amounts of it - to do what they want to do, regardless of the opinions of those who furnish them with that income, the taxpayers.  In the latest "Marriage Minutes", Dr Sharon James explains that the latest twist in the attempt to redefine marriage would result in billions of pounds sterling being spent.  That's billions of pounds sterling taken from taxpayers - the majority of whom did not want this attempt to overturn millennia of social norm.

As always, it's well worth a minute and a half of your time to watch, and listen.
