In a show of legal retrospection, aimed at “righting the wrongs of the past”, convictions for consensual homosexual activity, under now-abolished laws, are due to be pardoned by Priti Patel and “wiped from the records”. This might also be an appropriate moment to revisit the ‘cold case’ of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, whose ‘crime’ - of eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge - looks very much like entrapment. The time is right, I reckon, to restore the first pair’s tarnished reputations. Let the records show that Adam and Eve were guilty of nothing more than ‘scrumping’… which means we can do without the vile construction of ‘original sin’ as well.
Exhibit A, for the defence, a tempting choice of delicious apples…
