Expel Uganda from the Commonwealth

I was alerted to this story by an astonishing piece on the BBC World Service programme website for African listeners asking "Should homosexuals face execution?"
It refers to an Anti-Homosexuality Bill to be debated by the Ugandan Parliament later today.

It is abhorrent that the Ugandan Government, or anyone else for that matter, wish to ban homosexuality. Not only that, they are proposing the death penalty for people whose only crime is to love someone of the same sex.

If this repulsive measure is passed, then Britain should stand up for human rights and expel Uganda from the Commonwealth.
