Hang on.

Isn't that the same Simon Hughes M.P., who in 1983 arguably fought one of the dirtiest smear campaigns ever in a by-election, in the whole of our poltical history? Who used every homophobic smear he could lay his hands on, to attack Peter Thatchell, and win, what had until then been the safe Labour seat of Bermondsey?

Yes that's the nice little Christian politican, who years later did issue an apology...just before it came out that he too preferred his gentlemen callers round the back.

Hypocrite.

In all fairness he did say that he was prepared to bend over forwards to accommodate a friend in need.
