Blueprint22 are a local organisation doing fantastic work with local youngsters and their main principles are inclusiveness, tolerance and acceptance. I can only imagine their shock when they realised that they had inadvertently advertised support of Tim Loughton's hate fest.
I'll cover the C4news thing later on, but it was basically a selection of ADC's Tory finest sitting around a table in a wine bar with Timbo, actively promoting his attempt to derail the SSM bill. I would point out that Debbie Kennard did not actively make any statement in support of this but merely sidestepped the question and suggested that there are "more important things" to be considered, although this could have caused offence to some it is nothing compared to having your organisation directly linked to Timbo and his hateful and clearly transparent to everyone, (except him) filibustering amendment.
This is business as usual for the local Tories, they like to give the impression that they support equality and the people they are supposed to represent, when in reality they are just a bunch of bigoted dinosaurs. Personally I have no problem with Cllr Kennard, but I have to say, I'm disappointed that she would appear on the telly with a table surrounded by people promoting what was essentially a hateful agenda.
I guess the moral of the story is, never trust a Tory.
