*AnneEyhtMeyer - No idea if she was or not - if she was there I would expect someone of her religion to vote against promoting homosexuality in schools. There is a difference between being against promoting something to children and believing that adults shouldn't do something.
BeyondWitchbitchterf - As I said, she may be homophobic, I don't know.
But if we're not supposed to judge dapper for his rape advice a few years ago, it certainly isn't okay to judge a politician on voting along with the whip (if she was there and did) in a majority government, back when I was still in nappies.
AnneEyhtMeyer - Exactly Beyond. Ann became an MP in the late 80s didn't she? Clause 28 was around the same time (I know it was when I was still at school). If she was an MP then she must have been new to it.*
Blimey!!!! And Andrew is called stoopid!
Ann's religious beliefs take precedence in her life over any political beliefs. She is answerable to God not the Tory party leader.
Is this hard to grasp?
Look up the Catholic Church's views on homosexuality.
Ann ives according to a list of rules. She does not make up her own mind on these things. They're not just 'her opinions' that 'she's entitled to, yeah'. They are God's rules handed down and interpreted by His representative on earth - that's the Pope - it's not a 'matter of opinion'.
It's a FACT - It's a RULE.
And contrary to what someone (En?) said in the last thread about Ann not caring about what people get up to in their own living rooms.
She was an MP for 23 years making laws on what people get up to in their living rooms and she's an expert bloody spin doctor on convincing you otherwise.
Her voting against lowering the homosexual age of consent was trying to control you having gay sex in your living room below the age of 21 - she would prefer you didn't have gay sex at all.
She votes people off CBB because she thinks they are lewd and she wants to control what other people see in their living rooms.
Being 70 doesn't make anyone soft in the head. I wish people would stop treating her as some benign teddy bear.
Go and read about her.
And there's a reason why the 'lads' might learn more about feminism from Shane than from the women in the house.
Because some of the women in the house are not feminists (Ann) and the others are worried that declaring themselves as feminists, or indeed displaying anything above a rudimentary girly intelligence would alienate the numbskull audience who actually vote - for many of whom feminism is a four letter word.
People like Jess, who hides whatever brains she may/may not have for money-making means, do women a disservice by perpetuating the girly stereotype and grafting and rinsing saps by selling themselves as wank-fodder.
It's not admirable and they know full well what they are doing.
