Interesting story in today's (15.10.2011) Independent about Dr Liam "Whoops! I've just shot myself in both feet" Fox:

"When a gay and lesbian society applied for admission to the Glasgow University Union, it's president, Vince Gallagher, announced: "We don't want poufs in our union." The student council passed a resolution condemning this offensive comment, whereupon Mr Fox resigned, and was quoted as saying: "I just don't want gays flaunting in front of me, which is what they would do."
When the Commons voted in 1999 to reduce from 18 to 16 the age at which gay sex is legal, and in 2000 when MPs voted to repeal the notoriously anti-gay Clause 28, Mr Fox was one of the minority who voted against the changes."

I post this without further comment ...

Although can't quite stop myself from celebrating the fact that a right-wing Thatcherite Tory has brought about his own downfall!!!! Aaaahahahaha!!!!
