Time and progress inexorably march on like lovers, hand-in-hand, and all we’re getting now are the last, dying gasps and splutters of desperate outrage from the bigots who either can’t tell how badly they’re losing, or who probably just try and deny that nagging in the back of their minds telling them that they’re on the wrong side. As always.
