		<description>Where are they now? Both Chris Grayling - who wanted to put &quot;NO GAYS&quot; signs in the windows of bed and breakfasts and Phillipa Stroud - who attempted to exorcise gay men of their demons. BOTH work for Ian Duncan Smith that well known high ranking catholic, coincidence? I think not.</description>

		<description>Labour especially have to be very very careful here - the attitudes of most traditional Labour voters in many constituencies are far more homophobic than anything you would hear from the Conservative backbenchers. If they&#039;re not careful, there&#039;ll be another &#039;Duffy moment&#039;, where the Westminster-bound political﻿ class shows itself to be detached - however positively - from the majority of the electorate.</description>

		<description>Calm down everyone - listen to the what he&#039;s saying. Hague doesn&#039;t say anything bad himself here. And it damages the Labour or Lib Dem causes if you criticise unreasonably. Not helpful. Not helpful at all. Hague is a clever and talented﻿ politician, and like when the Tories attack respected politicians like Ashdown or Benn, they suffer. Labour and the Lib Dems will also suffer if they unreasonably level attacks at Hague. He&#039;s obviously not a homophobe, and equally, the Tories have taken huge strides forward in their approach to the gay community - let&#039;s not attack them for it!</description>
