Daily Mail madness
Sadly I haven't seen the article, but Iain Dale, defeated Tory candidate for North Norfolk at the recent election, says that Simon Heffer is arguing that both Dale and the Tory candidate for Brighton, Nicholas Boles, lost because they were gay.Meanwhile Melanie Phillips gazes in her crystal ball to see the consequences of George Galloway's election in Bethnal Green & Bow.

In fact the general election over the country has caused dear old Mel great distress. The Lib Dems' advance in particular,
the fact that people voted for them in such great numbers merely demonstrates the extent to which this country may already have reached the point of no return in the infantilism stakes.
has left her rather fatalist,
I'm afraid there's a long way down still to go before this society starts to go up again; and maybe we never will.
