Perhaps we could ask the Church of England to return to their day job and marry people for free.

We have got a problem in this country with knowing what the problem is but not being able to do anything about it.

If 'extremist' views are illegal, then the person who defines 'extremism' has the power to curtail free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press and freedom of association. This is the path to authoritarianism.
