Section 28: Goodbye To All That

Shocking news! A Scottish Tory candidate has been suspended from the party after he described homosexuality as not normal.
Philip Lardner, who was standing in North Ayrshire and North Arran, made the comment on his website. He wrote; "I will always support the rights of homosexuals to be treated within concepts of (common-sense) equality and respect, and defend their rights to choose to live the way they want in private, but I will not accept that their behaviour is 'normal' or encourage children to indulge in it."
Lardner called for the repeal of anti-discrimination legislation; "Christians (and most of the population) believe homosexuality to be somewhere between 'unfortunate' and simply 'wrong' and they should not be penalised for politely saying so – good manners count too, of course. The current 'law' is wrong and must be overturned in the interests of freedom as well as Christian values."
He also called for the return of Section 28; "I will not accept that their behaviour is 'normal' or encourage children to indulge in it... Toleration and understanding is one thing, but state-promotion of homosexuality is quite another."
Andrew Fulton, chair of the Scottish Conservatives, confirmed Lardner’s party membership had been suspended; “These views have no place in the modern Conservative party.”
But if Conservative candidates are to be expelled for supporting Section 28, then I guess they'll have to kick out Cameron and find a new party leader.
Conservative MPs who voted against the 2007 Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations Act outnumbered those who voted for it by three to one.
And lest we forget, so did 10 Labour MPs (Joe Benton, Tom Clarke, Frank Cook, Jim Dobbin, David Drew, Peter Kilfoyle, James McGovern, Alan Meale, Geraldine Smith and David Taylor), and four Liberal Democrats (Alan Beith, Colin Breed, Tim Farron and Bob Russell).
Will the last MP deselected please etc etc etc...
