'Section 28' anti-gay legislation almost gone

By 18th November one of the most hateful pieces of anti-gay legislation will be gone from the statute books throughout the whole of the UK.

Not before, of course, a last minute effort to introduce a 'spoiling' clause in the repeal legislation by Baroness Blatch, Deputy Conservative Leader in the House of Lords, last July. The Conservative Party really do still have a lot to learn before they can be trusted with government ever again.
