Cameron's Tories: Stripey Leopards or Spotted Tigers?

I do not take pleasure in pointing out how the Nu-Tories "talk the talk" but rarely if ever "walk the walk".

I genuinely want them to have become de-toxified. I want them to have shaken off the shameful shackles of Thatcherism, and the poisonous politics of class-hatred.

As a liberal I believe that there should be a multiplicity of political philosophies competing for our attention and indeed votes.

The Tories however are not there yet, and one might argue will never get there.

The comments by Chris Grayling that B&Bs should have the "right" to turn away gay couples, because of their "faith" is offensive, illegal, stupid, and just wrong.

If you want to give these "rights" to homophobes running B&Bs, why not extend them to other businesses like furniture stores because gays might cuddle up on their sofas.

This dim-witted comment should send out a very strong message to any gay person who may have been thinking of voting Tory... Don't!

Cameron's Tories are, "Soft And Dull-Eyed Fools" more like Paper Tigers than lions worthy of leading the country.
