Celebrity Big Brother: Manufactured Big Bother

WINSTON McKenzie has sparked a homophobia row BEFORE even stepping in to the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The former UKIP MP* - who is now a member of the English Democrats - made a bizarre comment about co-habiting with gay people in his VT that aired ahead of him entering the famous house.

He chuckled: "I'd cope with a homosexual in the house, I guess I just have to be standing against a brick wall all the time."

Viewers were disgusted that his comments were aired, and even questioned why host Emma Willis didn't pull him up on his views when she interviewed him before he went inside... 

The Sun. 

 

This is impressive - as the comment was made in a pre-recorded segment the producers presumably included it to introduce him to viewers as the series' homophobic pantomime villain.

And yes, if he'd said it in the house, there'd have been a 'dramatic showdown' and he'd probably have been ejected.

There are two gay men in the house so far to offend, ex-Eastender, John Partridge, and X Factor's Christopher Maloney.

Noted heterosexual, David Gest, is also in there, alongside the bisexual, Angie Bowie.

Anyway, great to see ver gay media go into predictable meltdown.

Here's the Mirror's handy guide to 'the controversial politician'.

* You've probably noticed he wasn't a Ukip MP, he has stood for several political offices for several parties and always failed spectacularly. 

My opening comments were "Tongue in cheek" as a tribute to the wonderful tolerant Gay community who support freedom of speech #CBB #Chill

Ukip: I Know You Are But What Am I?

Gay people tend to have right-wing political views, Ukip’s candidate for next year’s Mayor of London has said.

Peter Whittle, who is himself gay, told lifestyle magazine Winq that “gay rights” should not actually be associated with the political left wing.

“There are a lot of gay people active in politics, a disproportionate amount. I think that’s for sure, I don’t know why… and they’re more on the centre-right than on the left,” he said.

“Fact of the matter is the left have captured the idea that somehow they are the gay rights part of the political spectrum, but, in fact, there are more gay people on the right.” ...

A voting intention poll conducted for the website PinkNews found the Conservatives and Labour neck-and-neck on 29 per cent in March 2015.

Additionally, 20 per cent of people in that poll intended to vote for the Green Party, 19 per cent for the Liberal Democrats, and 2 per cent for Ukip.

The results of that poll appear to contradict Mr Whittle’s perception that gay people are more right-wing – with both the Conservatives and Ukip scoring significantly higher amongst the UK’s general population...

Independent.

Only 29% said they intended to vote Conservative, and this is almost certainly unrepresentaive as so much of Pink News journalism appeals to right-wing gay men.

Well sort of, but while only 29% said/clicked that they intended to vote Conservative, this can hardly be said to be representive as so much of the what Pink News publishes clearly appeals to right-wing gay men.

It's like extrapolating something about UK voting trends from a Mail Online survey.

And judging by Pink News' message boards - despite what they say - it's rather popular with LGBT Ukip-types (though PN is rather over-obsessed with slagging them off).

Fagburn can't recall ever seeing a survey that doesn't indicate gay men are more left-wing and liberal than the general population.

Mind you, I can't recall a gay survey that didn't look totally shonky and ropey, so I'm not sure what that tells us.

PS Older readers may recall Ukip's 2004 candidate for London Mayor. Oops.

PPS The Winq's hard-hitting (*sarcasm*) interview is by leading 'gay ex-soldier' and Toryboy, James Wharton, and is too grim for words.

London Pride: 'Everything Is Brilliant' - Official

'Full disclosure: Gay Star News is a media partner of London Pride but is committed to reporting on the event impartially.'

Shamelessly biased reporting from the shamelessly pro-capitalist GSN.

PS And a survey of people who went tells us nothing about how most gay people feel, you goon.

PPS And Pride In London have launched an online 'consultation' on exclusion from the parade etc. Woo!

Presumably you can ask if a gay Tory like Michael Salter should be excluded from running it.

Fagburn's doesn't like banning things, but there's far more hate-filled bigots in the Conservative Party than Ukip, surely?

Pride In London: Is This Man A Prat?

IT'S HYPOCRACY!!!

Pride in London Chair Michael Salter has explained why the board decided to turn down UKIP’s request to march.

Speaking to London Live, Mr Salter said the decision had been “difficult” because “Pride is an inclusive event, and all of us on the board also believe in free speech.”

Pride in London said earlier this month that they would not be allowing UKIP to march, saying “This decision has been made after careful consultation in order to protect participants and ensure the event passes off safely and in the right spirit, it has not been made on a political basis.”

Mr Salter went on: “We have a paramount duty to the protection and welfare of our volunteers.

“Pride cannot take place unless we have 6 to 700 volunteers who are happy to turn up, who feel capable in the roles that they’ve been trained to do. If the stewards are a little bit nervous about the reaction to any group in the parade and they start not turning up then it actually puts into jeopardy the bigger picture of Pride itself.”

“Personally I found it very difficult at times in this process to see the level of outrage, anger and hypocrisy in part from members of the LGBT community.

"But when you’ve got people who are threatening to do sit in and disrupt the parade, to turn up with all sorts of unmentionable revolting things to chuck at another group, people ho are threatening intimidation and violence – I don’t look at this and think, “well what’s going to happen to the UKIP group”...

Pink News.

LOL!

Michael Salter is a senior adviser to David Cameron,

Fagburn believes all Tories should be banned from Pride.

Farage On Friday: Unacceptable Bigotry

There seems be a new modern phenomenon in British politics that no matter how nasty, there is no level of prejudice that is unacceptable as long as it is directed against UKIP.

Indeed, the party has been banned, outlawed in fact from attending the London Gay Pride Parade, which I was under the impression was about standing for tolerance rather than censorship and hate.

When a Baptist Minister who was a mere local UKIP town councillor in Henley said last January that floods were caused by gay marriage, it was a national story.

This man’s personal views ran on the BBC and pretty much everywhere else too as some sort of representation of UKIP as a whole.

This follows 20 years where he had been a member of the Conservative Party and had been saying the same things.

As a Conservative however, his comments never even touched the radar screen.

This gentleman’s individual views were used by the media purely as another justification to scapegoat UKIP as being somehow extreme.

Well, I’ve got some bad news for the metropolitan elite.

I’m very sorry not to confirm their prejudices, but UKIP has many gay members.

Clever wordplay! LGBTQ* In Ukip on Facebook!

We’ve just confirmed our new Deputy Mayor of Ramsgate who is transgender.

Our Scottish MEP David Coburn is openly gay.

The party also has an established LGBT group headed by Flo Lewis, who I shared a drink or two with after she spoke at UKIP’s South East Conference in Eastbourne just last weekend.

And yet, we have the case of Kellie Maloney who in the past stood as our London Mayoral candidate in 2004 and as a parliamentary candidate in 2010.

I was happy to meet with Kellie last year and indeed I invited her to come and speak at our Spring Conference in Margate.

Strangely, during the course of the General Election campaign, Kellie went on to give an interview to Sky News in which she said UKIP was a wasted vote.

Suddenly she was of the view that people should vote Conservative and not for the party whose conference she had just attended and spoken at.

I wondered why. Then I found out that Kellie came under a huge amount of pressure and indeed abuse from some in the LGBT community for her links with UKIP.

This seems to explain her subsequent actions.

This illustrates once again the wider attempt by segments of the media and the political class to incite hatred against UKIP.

I would go as far to say that the deliberate attempt to whip up animosity towards some of our members and candidates is one of the most disgusting elements of British politics today.

There remains bigotry and sometimes even racism against people in Britain today that is simply unacceptable.

Sadly, some of this is being suffered by ordinary decent folk simply for supporting UKIP.

The latest installment of Nigel's unmissable Daily Express column.

Can you see what he did there?

Check the reader comments below it to forever dispel the myth that Ukip is a right-wing nutter magnet.

The more Nige tries to qualify UKIP is not homophobic and racist the more ammunition he gives the leftie soap dodgers and gay mafia just ignore the unpatriotic bigoted Anglophobic traitors. etc etc.

PS Oooh look, and here's what Katie Hopkins thinks about this exciting debate! Oh, do wank off.

Pride: On The Fine Art Of Spectacularly Missing The Point

Picture the tiny group of courageous radicals who began marching more than 40 years ago. How would they have felt then if they were told that their few brave steps towards freedom would be joined by a stampede of the many? That in a few decades, rather than hundreds, hundreds of thousands would come with them, holding hands, flying flags, dancing, chanting – a kaleidoscopic throng of every race, gender, and political bent?

They might well be horrified by the presence of UKIP. But would anyone swap today’s reality, with its mass of pro-LGBT voices, however discordant, for the very few then?

More likely, those early activists would be overwhelmed, engulfed with the same feeling that floods through teenagers today when they march for the first time. The feeling that begins with the single transformative experience of seeing so many people just like you: pride.

Patrick Strudwick, BuzzFeed News.

A tambourine-banging conclusion by Strudwick to an article; UKIP has been kicked out of Pride, but is this fair? How do we judge if a political party is homophobic?

Only the politically banal gayist Smugtwit could fail to see that most people's fury at Ukip is not their failure to support equal marriage or any other gay rights iniative, but that they're more generally and obviously right-wing racist, anti-immigrant scum.

Breathtaking.

Pride: How So?

Gay Star News.

Why shouldn't they?

The gay right likes to demonise Ukip, as if to prove they themselves are not right-wing.

'Theys donut like teh gaymarriage!'

Like it's the worst of their racist cunty platform.

And the pointless manically depressive funfest London Pride - like Gay Star News - is bankrolled by the far worse Barclays; big time convicted corporate crooks and arms dealers.

Why do you expect them to be moral agents or some compass of ideological purity?

Nigel Farage: It's The Way He Tells 'Em

Naughty Nigel enjoying a nice fag.

Nigel Farage was last night accused of homophobia after footage emerged of him making a joke about ‘fags’ in a best man speech.

The Ukip leader’s final hours of election campaigning were overshadowed by the release of the video of his brother’s wedding.

The singer Rod Stewart, who was a guest at the July 2001 wedding, appeared visibly uncomfortable after Mr Farage used the word ‘fags’ as part of a joke about the death of a man at Michael Barrymore’s house, which happened months earlier.

Mr Farage yesterday pulled out of a planned visit to a bingo hall shortly after he was contacted by the Mail about the film.

He claimed that he had intended ‘no malice’ with the joke, but did not apologise...

Mr Farage, who appears much younger in the video with a full head of black hair, says that he would like to start the speech with some ‘housekeeping’.

He said: ‘As far as smokers here are concerned there’s good news and bad news for you. The bad news was we were not allowed to smoke until the coffee was served.

‘But the good news for us who are smokers is that we are far better off here than if we had been at Michael Barrymore’s house.

‘Because there they removed all the ashtrays on the basis that now they chuck all the fags in the pool.’

Daily Mail.

Now this is funny.

Not Nigel Farage's joke about the death of a gay man, obvs.

How long have the Mail been sitting on this video?

And was it released now as a final pre-election bombshell?

And did they think this would turn their readers off Farage, rather than warm to him even more?

And finally, you may want to read this Observer interview with Barrymore from 2002, where he attacks his 'trial by tabloid'.

PS Did this play a part in NF pulling out of answering questions from Pink News readers?

Frida: I *HEART* The 70s

“My motto is to live in peace and respect all the different religions, people’s sexualities and ethnic origins.

"I cannot tolerate people who harm others in the name of religion and I salute all those who stand up for free speech and differences of opinion.”

Frida, quoted in the Daily Express.

Not quite sure why they've put her on the front page today, her 70th birthday's not til November.

Might have lost some of its poetry in the translation.

Still, a beautiful thought - and one that Fagburn is sure is shared by everyone at the Express, Richard Desmond and his new BFF, Nigel Farage.

Ukip: A Little Bit Special

X-rated gay sauna, Lebanese eatery and Polish shop neighbour Ukip's Luton office

UKIP has set up an election base next to an X-rated gay sauna.

But last night Ukip said it had no problem with its strange bedfellows – and it was customers at the sauna who were getting red in the face. The party’s office in Luton, Beds, was opened earlier this month by MEP Stuart Agnew.

But just hours earlier the Greenhouse Sauna next door had held its “Dirty Friday” night.

The dress code was “rubber, leather, Lycra and jocks” – with a strict “no towels allowed” policy.

The venue, which boasts a hot tub, steam room and private rest rooms, also holds a “Jocks ’n C**ks” night three times a month.

One door along from the sauna sits a large Polish supermarket.

The location of the campaign office is a shock given Ukip’s checkered relationship with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

They also maintain a hard line on immigration.

The sauna’s patrons have expressed their surprise.

One said: “I was stunned when the boards went up. Never in a million years did we think we’d have a Ukip office move in next door to us.”

Another said: “It’s ironic given what some of the party’s members have said about homosexuality.”

The sauna gained its unlikely neighbours after parliamentary candidates Yasin Rehman and Allan White pooled their funds for a campaign office.

Local Ukip election agent Bob Clements said: “(The sauna) has got nothing to do with us, we are not bothered. We were looking around and this was a property that came up on the market at the right price.

“We have also got a Polish store and a Lebanese restaurant next to us. We are not bothered who is near us.” ...

Daily Star.

Can you spot the two made-up quotes?

PS Pop into the Greenhouse next time you're in Luton - it's Jocks N Cocks this Friday!

Nigel Farage: Out Demon Out!

The privately educated, City-trading, four-times-an-MEP, expenses-addicted, pin-striped-suit-wearing Nigel Farage thrives on presenting himself as the doughty outsider, fighting for common sense against an out-of-touch elite. He also knows that controversy produces publicity and Ukip desperately needs that to slow that opinion poll slide - not least in South Thanet, which is Mr Farage’s increasingly uphill route to becoming an MP.

Much of Britain might have been appalled at Mr Farage’s scapegoating rhetoric, but a whopping 96 per cent of Ukip voters told YouGov that Mr Farage was right to raise the issue of immigrants suffering from HIV using the NHS. Nearly two thirds of Tory voters also thought he was justified.

Because Nigel Farage takes so many more votes from the Conservatives than Labour he is doing most harm to David Cameron, but his strategy is also harming the greater cause that Ukip was set up to win. Support for staying in the EU is rising steadily. This is mainly because the worst of the eurozone crisis has, hopefully, passed but Ukip’s toxicity with a clear majority of voters isn’t helping.

“Out” will only win if younger voters can be persuaded that there is wisdom in unshackling Britain from the protectionist, declining and bureaucratic European model. But when the leading Outers in the country are perceived as anti-gay, anti-immigrant and pro-Putin [sic], the ultimate winner of the Ukip phenomenon could well be Brussels.

The Times leader.
