Read the comments.
To listen to all the media – and to the grandees of social media too – you would have thought that every single person in the land was utterly in favour of gay men and gay sex.
We are not.

I’m not surprised this revolting person blocked this. But anyway excepting a pardon admits guilt. These people have not committed a crime so they can shove their pardon up this ministers bottom. He would probly enjoy it

“Labour should vote against that unless it also annulled, not only all convictions in the categories set out in the above link, but also all convictions and other adverse court decisions arising out of Clay Cross, Shrewsbury, Wapping, and the three Miners’ Strikes since 1970.”

There you have it. Further evidence that offences are only truly real if lefties put their morality stamp to them.

Such arrogance is partly how the ‘true workers party’ is out of national power more than in it.

“@Mick ,and if straight people where being prosecuted for doing the same you may have had a point, but exactly 0 straight people where prosecuted under that law, none.@Mick ,and if straight people where being prosecuted for doing the same you may have had a point, but exactly 0 straight people where prosecuted under that law, none.”

Lies. Straight people were arrested for dogging all the time. This is another shabby attempt to make shabby behaviour somehow a bit Rosa Parks.

Convictions under laws predating these changes (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/david-lindsay2/jeremy-corbyn-sex-work_b_9384762.html) ought to be annulled by Act of Parliament along with those of men whose homosexual acts would not be criminal offences today.

Labour should vote against that unless it also annulled, not only all convictions in the categories set out in the above link, but also all convictions and other adverse court decisions arising out of Clay Cross, Shrewsbury, Wapping, and the three Miners’ Strikes since 1970.

This would set the pattern for all future feminist and LGBT legislation. Without a working-class quid pro quo, then Labour would vote against any such legislation. Alongside the DUP, the Tory Right, or whoever. It is not Blair’s Labour Party now.

The headline says “Tories filibuster …” but the article says one person did it. How many Tories approve of what he did and how many disapprove?
How many Tories think that preventing a vote is democratic?

Now work with us to kick the tories out of Brighton constituency seats and local council wards.

“Accepting a pardon is a recognition that either the law was badly applied or that the law was a bad law. ”

Tell that to the ghost of poor likkle Bobby Sands, the Left’s terrorist hero who died a martyr’s death by not eating his dinner. YES, take THAT, Mrs. Thatch!

He didn’t want a pardon. Even he knew that to be pardoned is to be forgiven for admitted crimes. Though I suppose disgraced homosexuals must know they did, indeed, express their sexuality through perversion – requiring only forgiveness indeed.
