B&B case: Portillo warns against 'secular theocracy'
Michael Portillo, discussing the plight of the Christian B&B owners sued over their double bed policy, has expressed concern at the dangers posed by a “secular theocracy”.
Although Mr Portillo does not agree with the B&B owners’ beliefs, he is concerned about the erosion of personal liberty.
The former cabinet minister made the comment on last night’s edition of BBC Radio 4’s the Moral Maze, examining the ongoing conflict between religious belief and human rights law.
