This is indicative of the state of Britain today, politicians and bureaucrats are in the control of Satan and under the dominion of sin. Sodom and Gomorrah is here to stay.
Even the churches eg: Church of England and the Church of Scotland and many others who call themselves church are under Satan and sin. Their policy is ditch the Bible keep the sin. The Bible is no longer the Word of God, it seems to have become simply a human religious myth and the new religion of Liberalism has taken over the churches to poison the doctrines and kill off Christianity.
The signs of the times? Then the 'church' is dead. There is a decreasing Remnant in the UK and many who call themselves "Christian" are hypocrites and liars or just plain old ignorant in the domain of sin.
