Politicians Don't Possess These, Peter...

Peter Hitchens on the New Tory Gayness:

Forgive them for what? Section 28 resulted from a fuss over the appearance of books aimed at children, intended to spread the view that single-sex couples could bring up children without any disadvantage to those children.

I still remember the titles: ‘Jenny Lives With Eric And Martin’ and ‘Heather Has Two Mommies’.

Less than 25 years ago, only revolutionaries such as Ken Livingstone endorsed this sort of thing.

Yes, but that was before he found himself between a rock and a hard place, cozying up to such notoriously ungay-friendly characters as Quaradawi.

Politicians, eh? So fickle…

Nowadays, opinion formers and MPs have been scared into conformity, and the unhappy majority have learned to keep quiet about their concerns, for fear of the Thought Police.

This supposedly wicked law was little more than an expression of opinion by Parliament.

Nobody was ever prosecuted under its provisions. Try as they may, the homosexual liberation movement have never produced evidence of any martyrdoms resulting from it.

That hasn’t stopped them from regarding it as the worst disaster to befall the UK since Take That broke up though…

How far into the swamp will the Tories allow Mr Cameron to lead them before they realise what he is?

Peter, Peter, Peter…

They know full well what he is. They don’t care, because he’ll lead them to the promised land of government, and power for its own sake.

Principles? Who believes in them any more?
