Is it offensive to black up or not, particularly if you are impersonating a black person? PS I would be grateful if you could explain to me why it is… - Philip Davies

When I first got elected to Parliament my mentor was Eric Forth [the former Tory MP] and he really was the past master of talking out bills on a Friday. [...] He did it for fun and he was brilliant at it. After he died I vowed I would do the same kind of work.
He taught me that lots of these have all got a worthy sentiment behind them but you can’t pass legislation on the whim of a worthy sentiment because it affects people’s lives and livelihoods. I agree with him. It is a very unsatisfactory way to pass legislation.

[supporters of same-sex marriage have] a strange view of equality which is that the groups that [they support] should have more equality than other people
I always vote in favour of true equality. I don’t agree with gay marriage, why would I vote for something I don’t agree with?

In this day and age the feminist zealots really do want women to have their cake and eat it. They fight for their version of equality on all the things that suit women – but are very quick to point out that women need special protections and treatment on other things.
