What a LSS hypocrite. Is he going to change Britain’s relationship with Saudi Arabia? Or any other Muslim country in the Middle East with strict laws against homosexuals?
Typical of Europeans; he’s two faced.
it is like jimmy carter saying one thing in english and a different thing in spanish but IMPLYING it was just a translation.
This is for the home rubes.
overseas it is meaningless.
Not really. He's just being a politician. This is for home consumption, to score a few points with the gay lobby (which is increasingly powerful) and to make us all feel good about our fairness and equal opportunities stance. In reality it will make no difference at all, at least to the powerful countries in Africa we deal with. There will always be ways around it. The people who will really suffer are those very poor countries that nobody cares about, who will have their moral stances rubbished. You know, the ones who most need the aid and the ones we should really be supporting.
Short term gain, long term pain.
