That was what he said, yes, but being gay, homophobes immediately latched onto it to prove that gay marriage wasn't wanted by the majority of the gay community. Same thing with when Ben Summerskill kept Stonewall from lobbying from same-sex marriage for years. And then they both went on record saying that parties other than Labour supporting same-sex marriage was a political stunt. Whilst marching in Pride shirts that say that only Labour can deliver equality.* *when they're forced to do so having been sued all the way up to the European Court of Human Rights

So, it looks like this is going to hit 100,000 signatures. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/106477 Hang those that bum the poppy etc. Hopefully it will get about as serious a response as the cannabis one did, but that just hammers home that we're reliant on a bad system to stop things like this progressing.

Guavanaut posted:Speaking of which, Tim Loughton has called for a simple amendment to the Civil Partnership Act to revise the first sentence of the bill "A civil partnership is a relationship between two people of the same sex (“civil partners”)—" to remove 'of the same sex', hopefully to be debated October 21st. If that doesn't go anywhere, the equal civil partnerships pressure group have finally got a date for their court case, January 19th/20th 2016. Why are people still spending time on this? Isn't it now possible for those who wanted to convert their civil partnerships into a literal 'marriage'? If people don't like being in a civil partnership, they should just apply to convert it, rather than piss time and public money up the wall. Also wikipedia suggests there are some practical reasons to keep slight differences in legal wording for same sex marriages (by whatever name we call them) e.g. removing non-consummation from being grounds for divorce.

I didn't realise this was in the Netherlands but I don't need to be a lawyer to understand that your Wikipedia article doesn't deal with limiting prosecutions for crimes such as murder in the UK and I doubt the Dutch are any less sensible.

Again, it depends on whether anyone cares enough to pursue - especially without a body to act on. For all we know it could be a personal delusion. I mean, killers should be brought to justice but I don't think much is going to happen to him. This is hardly going to be worth the Netherlands requesting extradition. ...if this leads to him being extradited and found guilty of murder I will put my hand up and recant in shame.

Discussing which form of homicide one would be prosecuted for in the UK after pointing out that the incident occurred in the Netherlands after claiming a statue of limitations would protect him from prosecution is nonsense. None of us are Dutch lawyers but I'm going to boldly state my opinion that admitting to killing somebody in Holland in 1988 is not a smart thing to do.
