“I think she has done a very good job in a very difficult set of circumstances, with the Leveson Inquiry, which has stirred up a lot of media antipathy to her, I know.
”And also the gay marriage stuff – there’s a lot of Conservatives out there who perhaps weren’t necessarily supportive,and also feel rather bitter about that. In a sense, she is also receiving some of that as part of this process.
"I've known her always to be a reasonable and honest person...
"My view generally is that I’m supportive of Maria, because I think if we are not careful we end up in a witch hunt of somebody."

I really dislike that 'it's because of gay marriage' attitude. It's a blatant attempt to downplay what Maria Miller has done and get gay people onside. In fact, it's just an extension of the 'we're nice people, we've passed gay marriage' ploy by the tories.
ReplyDeleteI cringe whenever I see some gullible person -gay or heterosexual- being taken in by this because, regardless of sexuality, they are being stupid.
