For a party that is supposedly into individual liberty, the Tories seem preternaturally obsessed with peoples' personal lives, especially their sex lives.News that the Tory candidate for Ayrshire North and Arran has got into trouble (again) for saying that he did not "accept that their [gays] behaviour is ‘normal’".
Not bad for a teacher!
This is not the first time this bloke has guffed, a couple of years ago he sang the praises of racist former Rhodesian PM Ian Smith, saying Smith "typified a British hero". He has also said that Enoch Powell's far-right warnings about immigration had "come true".
He was a member of the Young Conservatives in the 1980s, at a time when they used to sport "Hang Mandela" badges.
Even peachier, he is an advocate of nuclear power who believes that people promoting wind farms as a sustainable energy source are only in it for the money. So much for the Big Society.
The Tories... "plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose".
