The bigots who call people bigots.

Anyone with 5 minutes exposure to the BBC knows that most people at the BBC would have shared Gordon Brown’s sentiment thatMrs Duffy of Rochdale was a “bigot” forexpressing concerns about the level of immigration.  It is the favoured tactic of the anti-democraticleft who prevail at the BBC toshut down debate.

We see the same tactic used in the ‘Gay debate’.

David Cameron’s Conservative Party has become such a victimof the Marxist mind control of Political Correctness as exercised by the BBC that this week we saw Philip Lardner suspendedas Conservative Candidate for North Ayrshire and Arranfor his views on homosexuality.  The BBC reported he was sacked for ‘describing gaypeople on his website as “notnormal”’.  What he actually said wasthat “homosexuality is not normal behaviour”. The DailyTelegraph managed to report the story accurately, why did the BBC have such trouble?  Perhaps they confused news management withnews reporting?  Part of what Mr Lardnerwrote (the fulltext can be seen here) was in defence of Clause 28:

David Cameron, who let us remember voted in 2003 to retainClause 28, boasted he took “decisive action within minutes of finding outabout this”.  In announcing Mr Lardner’ssuspension Scottish Conservatives Chairman Mr Andrew Fulton said Mr Lardner’scomments were “deeply offensive and unacceptable”.

When the Conservative Party – the Conservative Party – acts so hysterically to avoid having the BBC turn its propaganda guns on them, Britishdemocracy is in serious trouble.  We sawthe same BBC led hysteria when Chris Graylingadvocated an enlightened form of social liberalism that accommodates theChristian conscience instead of the bigoted form of social liberalism thatseeks to persecute Christians for their faith.

We are rightly outraged by the cover up and perpetuation ofchild sex abuse by key figures in the Catholic hierarchy but the abolition ofClause 28 to permit homosexuals access to little boys in schools to teach themthat homosexuality is normal is something we’re supposed to celebrate.

Let us just remember how Clause 28 came about.  In the 80’s schools in the Islington Boroughof London werepromoting homosexuality as normal.  Amidhowls of protest then and vilification now Maggie Thatcher put a stop to it.  In 1995, following grave revelations by the LondonEvening Standard, ‘The White Report’ found that systematic child sex abusehad taken place during the 70s, 80s and 90s of children in the care ofIslington Council.  It found‘a culture that tolerated relationships between care staff and teenageboys.  It also blocked investigation ofpeople with gay or ethnic backgrounds’. I distinctly recall John Humphrys interviewing former Islington CouncilLeader and then Children’s Minister MargaratHodge on the TODAY programme in the wake of the White Report.  It was under-arm bowling all the way.  I don’t recall him putting to her whether shethought there was a relationship between the Political Correctness of herCouncil and the sexual abuse of her children.

While no-one is in a hurry to talk about the relationshipbetween Political Correctness and child sex abuse, the BBCis at the forefront of those in a hurry to talk about the relationship betweenpriesthood celibacy and child sex abuse. Recently, His Holiness the Pope’s No 2 Cardinal Tarsicio Bertone caused alava flow of outrage for suggesting that the problem of abuser priests wasn’tcaused by celibacy but by homosexuality.  He implied that homosexuals infiltrated thepriesthood as a cover to carry out their paedophile proclivities and that recentresearch supports this.  The BBC of course led the pack in ‘news management’ toensure that the public knew what to think about such a ‘bigoted’ suggestion.  Such was the furore whipped up that even PopeBenedict II and his key media supporter in the UK press DamianThompson couldn’t withstand the heat.

According to Vaticanfigures 60% of children abused by paedophile priests are boys.  How this pans out in lay society I don’tknow.  The impression I get from reportsis that there is a disproportionately high amount of child sex abuse that ishomosexual.  As we now have homosexualadoption, in the interests of child protection one would have thought itimperative that wider research was conducted. Don’t expect the BBC tomount a clamour for this.  Don’t anyoneeven suggest the idea.  That would be‘bigoted’.

Mr Philip Lardner is still on the ballot in North Ayrshireand Arran. The Tories had suspended him but only after he had already beenregistered.  He is now campaigning as the‘Independent Common Sense’ Candidate and will not take the Tory whip if elected. 

The General Election is 6^th May.
