England
A particularly pompous and stupid Tory minister has said that councils should ignore the court’s ruling, and carry on praying. (!)
Meanwhile … and so, according to this guvmint minister (the egregious Pickles) one can disobey a particular law, because he doesn’t like it ….
Can we all play, and decide which laws we want to ignore?
Eric Pickles, the Communities and Local Government Secretary, and Ministers last night encouraged councils to openly defy a High Court ruling banning public prayers during meetings.
