he keeps coming back like certain other undesirable things The turd that will not flush? I was based in Leicester East when Vaz was first elected. I met him several times during the campaign and after. Even then would not trust in the slightest. At the time I was pleased to get rid of the poisoned dwarf Peter Bruinvels.

I’ve known him longer. I knew him a bit at Cambridge and then much better later shortly afterwards when he became our CLP Secretary then pretty stereotypically our parliamentary candidate. Our relationship has been a testy one over the years and I did everything I could to stop him getting our nomination.

I met him several times during the campaign and after. Even then would not trust in the slightest. At the time I was pleased to get rid of the poisoned dwarf Peter Bruinvels. That made me wonder what happened to Bruinvels. I was slightly surprised to find that he is not only still alive, but that he’s only 74 - in other words, I had forgotten how young he was (33) when he became an MP. But anyway, in 2022 (acccording to Wikipedia) he issued a statement:In other words, he grew up and got a bit of experience of real people in real life. I sometimes wonder how much the views of other famously-homophobic people changed in response to real life. Frig zumple, Dame Elaine Kellett-Bowman died in 2014, so she lived long enough to see same-sex marriage being enacted by a Conservative government, and lots of gay people in prominent positions in public life. As a former barrister, she should have been intelligent enough to adjust her views a bit, but I have no idea if she did or not. Air Commodore Harold Shepherd died in 2000, after a long and distinguished career of writing millions of letters to the Daily Telegraph saying how dangerous it would be to allow homosexuality to spread within the armed forces (I think that a central part of his theory was that gay men have a much more intense and promiscuous sexual urge than heterosexual men), so he didn’t live long enough to be able to see that it didn’t make the slightest bit of difference to real life in the army, and that it really didn’t matter. In any case, I’m guessing he was probably too thick to adjust his way of thinking beyond the prejudices he built up in his youth and early adulthood.
