Tabloid Double Standards Test

"I'm perfectly liberal, I just think gays should be shot before they spread the disease to us straights."

Luke Richards

President,
Warwick University Liberal Democrats


Whether it's a joke or not isn't the point TB is going to make, but, if a member of Conservative Future made that stupid comment
online
then it would give some lazy hack at the Mirror etc a very easy afternoon's copy. Thus they would be expelled from the party and sent to Coventry etc. So it will be interesting to see what happens when a young Liberal Democrat puts something stupid into writing. Something tells TB there won't be the standard tabloid tory-boys-are-evil style rant.

Go on prove TB wrong... didn't think so.

Warwick university is already in Coventry so no point sending him there :-)

So much for the Lib Dems being a nice and cuddly party.

Nice scoop. You should hear what we're like when we're not on the internet...

I can't believe someone could just say something so nasty shame on them and if lib dem hq don't deal with this straight a way it will only go to show that they condone this sort of behaviour.

The press are more interested in Tories making that sort of comment because there are people within the Conservatives who actually do hold that view.

Luke is the least homophobic guy I´ve ever met. You´re wasting your time picking on him because the media simply won´t be interested.

Luke Richards is one of the most kind and generous people we know...he was obviously joking...perhaps not the cleverst joke...but still a joke. This shouldnt even be a news-worthy story as the person in question was clearly joking!!
