Not really. But the latest in the tedious gay marriage saga, which has seen more than half the Tory party not merely flaunting but positively reveling in its boneheaded regressive bigotry, is the return of the Chingford Skinhead to public life. Not that he ever really went away, but for some reason Dave's keenness on letting the gays get married has got his dander up, to such an extent that he made some very strange comments in
an interview granted to the Big Issue:
It’s like one of my colleagues said: we’ve got to make these same sex marriages available to all. It would lift my worries about inheritance tax because maybe I’d be allowed to marry my son. Why not?
Maybe, as some have claimed, he was simply trying to be funny. Tebbit is, it is reputed, in possession of a ready wit. But if so it was spectacularly misguided. Still, it gave me the opportunity to have a go at another cartoon (click for biggitude)...
