Tatchell Makes Up With Hughes
Many thanks to the blog reader who pointed out that on Newsnight yesterday Hughes apologised for the anti-gayer campaign that won him the Bermondsey by-election against Peter Tatchell:-
“I hope that there will never be that sort of campaign again. I have never been comfortable about the whole of that campaign, as Peter knows, and I said that to him in the past . . . Where there were things that were inappropriate or wrong, I apologise for that.”Guido is confused, how can he apologise for something that never happened? When Guido mentioned it before on this blog the comments were flaming with outraged LibDems complaining that it was a smear and untrue. Guido seems to recall that he denied any knowledge or responsibility, now he is apologising for it. Just goes to show, a Hughes denial can not always be believed.

Perhaps Hughes should get married, a la Liam Fox in 2005 or Elton John in 1984. That should fool the dopey sods in the press for a couple of years...
Actually, at least with Elton John the press already knew he was bisexual...
Is Foxy a mo then?
There were rumours that Liam Fox was a gayer or at least played for both sides, but these seem to have been scotched by his engagement.
Fox though always tried out to make he was straight through insinuating that he shagged Natalie Imbruglia. Which wasn't true.
Testing, testing...
I think you need a medical opinion on this question of playing on the pink piccolo.
Help is at hand. Do remember that that nice Mr Portillo was...er...cured.
Marriage worked for Chatshow Charlie. It could work for Hughes as well...
and willy hague grew a beard
