Let’s clear this up for Al: the Taliban buried homosexuals alive, the Tory Right just thinks we shouldn’t be spending public money on ‘Gay History Month’. This isn’t moral equivalence, this is moral imbecility.
Announcing his withdrawal to The Times, Mr Duncan said: "Censorious judgmentalism from the moralising wing, which treats half our countrymen as enemies, must be rooted out.
Quick – someone call the Irony Police. We have a complaint about moral judgementalism from someone who compares his opponents to a group of bloodthirsty totalitarian fanatics and calls for them to be ‘rooted out’.
While many of Duncan's ideas are good, the Pimlico council flat hangs round his neck like a dead albatross.
PS - it should be pointed out that I considered the Taleban were as good a government as the Afghans could reasonably expect.
UPDATE - the magnificently named Stalin's Gran tells me that it was actually a house - in Gayfere Street.
Gayfere ? Isn't that called homophobia nowadays ?
