Is this how you'll represent Oxford East, Peter?

Funnily enough when I joined Oxford East Lib Dems it was almost completely run by sexual deviants. When I hesitated to answer "I am gay" on my vetting question for city councillors "Is there anything else you want to tell us that, if it became public, might bring embarrassment to the party" I was reassured to find that not only were my two vetters also a little light in their loafers, but so were most of my fellow candidates and at least half of the constituency executive.

So, don't get me wrong, I think gay rights, and more generally the right of people to live their lives how they want pretty much, are crucial parts of a liberal ideology, and yes, it's an international battle. But for someone like Peter Tatchell who has pledged his troth to fight Oxford East for the Green Party on local issues, I would suggest that means doing your bit for the international cause of human rights by making sure we ditch the government that now promises us "Suss Laws" not unlike those under which one might suspect Mr Tatchell has been vexatiously held in Moscow this weekend.

Oxford East has problems a-plenty for someone seriously wanting to represent us at Westminster to get to grips with, and full time too. They may not always get you onto national television, but we are looking for an MP at the next election, not a C list celebrity media whore.
