Probably written just 25 years after homosexuality was made legal in the country, but certainly at a time when it was against the law to teach or promote the "acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". Whilst we have (rightly) encountered many decades of change in attitude, the article looks to be reflecting the attitudes of the time. 1998 so nearly quarter of a century ago Tank-topped bum boys.’ The “bum boy” quote dates back to a 1998 Telegraph column about the gay MP Peter Mandelson’s resignation from the New Labour cabinet. funnily enough earlier up the thread I said someone might use a silly insult from decades ago as further evidence against Boris and I was right! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a distinct possibility. But like he so eloquently states Quote if these things were done by Corbyn, Starmer, Abbot etc the right wing media would be all over it He also seems very perturbed that 'Johnson has got away with it' once again, suggesting that rather than the fact he didn't actually do what soggy has conjured up in his own mind, the only reason he's managed to escape justice is because those pesky kids have given up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, this 'defence' might hold water if Johnson had at any point in the intervening years shown any remorse or acknowledgement that such comments were no longer acceptable (they still weren't in 1998, BTW). But he hasn't. He's unrepentant about it and has flatly refused to apologise when pressed on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way he's having a shocker today. You need to ask the question? As Brexit secretary Raab stood up on national television and told everyone that he was unaware just how reliant the UK was on the Dover-Calais trade route. There’s a very good reason the Daily Star lampoon Raab on their front page so often, when a rag like that is regularly calling you a thicko you should probably take notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, his government are shite, there is no credible plan to deal with the cost of living and Boris is a lying fucker. I’m actually annoyed that more of the Cabinet haven’t resigned.
