OK then Burneside, here's another viewpoint - with a quote pointing the way to a truly illiberal party leader. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jennie-rigg/tim-farron-lgbt-record_b_16095906.html? "... I await your forensic questioning of the Prime Minister on her voting record with regard to LGBT+ rights with interest."

No, I'm saying "enough said" because the author sounds like they haven't a clue about anything.  Just like the LibDems.

When you say 'enough said' did you mean that no more needs saying because the writer explains Tim Farron's stance so well?

A blog written by a LibDem polyamorous bisexual transwoman.  Enough said.

Interestingly, I met up with Kathy Newbound (who as Lib Dem candidate for Maidenhead gave TM a close race in a previous general election) at the demonstration at Westminster last month. Perhaps she'll be emboldened to run against her again?
