I just find Cleggy's almost unhinged attitude to the supposed political bias off the BBC rather worrisome. Sadly, the editors want stuff that people WANT to read about/watch, like Katie Price's colonic or some such crap. Don't blame the editorial, blame the readers.

Don't they allow citizens to pack guns in jolly old England? They do over here in the states as long as it can be seen in plain sight hanging to your side in an holster. Why don't you have the Pink Panthers or the Guardian Angels in England? If you don't have either you need to start it in England to protect citizens against such attacks. To attack and kill a senior citizen by youths is an unforgiving crime and the only penalty should be capital punishment by public hanging. Or better yet gather up a gang of hooded gays and lesbians and hang these assholes to the nearest lamp post.

Think it's only a matter of time before they get caught. There are often homophobic comments made in public, is it realistic to report them all? westminster council has an online form to report racist incidents but of course, nothing for homophobic incidents...despite a large number of homophobic hate crimes occurring in westminster's west end. I also agree the bbc is very homophobic, nearly every comedy show has a gay stereotype to ridicule. it was sad to hear about this attack. even though the cctv image is a bit grainy, it isn’t bad & has received a lot of exposure.

Sadly, it takes something this serious to make people sit up and take notice, but hopefully some good might come of it, and people will not disregard anti-gay protection legislation that so many have asked for.
