The I: O Dear

Argh!
There's a nice bit of bullfighting by James Ball on The Guardian online on another in-no-way dodgy gay marriage poll by ComRes/Catholic Voices.

The Daily Telegraph: Back On Topic

'More than 300,000 people have joined a campaign against David Cameron’s plan to legalise same-sex marriage. 'Organisers claimed that their petition had become the biggest public campaign since the 2010 election.

It highlights the support for the traditional definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman, they said.

'Earlier this month, the Government proposed redefining civil marriage laws so that the term can apply to civil unions between same-sex couples. There will be no change to religious marriage.

'Senior Conservatives, including ministers, have joined Christian leaders in opposing the proposals.

'The leader of Britain’s Sikh organisations said the proposal was an “assault on religion” while the country’s largest Muslim grouping has also voiced its opposition...'

The Daily Telegraph.
Who cares?
That's half a per cent of the UK population - even if you're telling the truth, which is doubtful.
And 2% of British people vote BNP.
Should that determine policy?
The people who take part in these pointless online petitions are usually totally nuts far right cunts who want to bring back hanging for Muslim immigrants from the EU cause they're stopping them hunting gay foxes by coming over here and eating our swans.
Or something.
Fuck 'em. 

PS Interesting to compare and contrast all this with an online poll conducted by the Telegraph themselves. 

Yes, that's 78% for gay marriage.
