The UK Conservative Party has made it clear that it doesn't share the views and policies of some of the Parties in that Alliance - especially those policies about gay and LGBT issues. I am sure that David Cameron in Government will work with those Parties across Europe to change such views and policies. I should also highlight that Labour won't agree with all the policies with their European counterparts and neither the Lib Dems with theirs. These are the policies by which those MEPs have been elected by their voters. And while I'm sure most people on this site will not share and would indeed condemn such views, we have to respect their freedom of speech and the democratic mandate they've been given by their electorate. There is much work to be done promoting equality across Europe and beyond. Creating false propoganda that this is something to do with UK Political Parties is not helping the matter. It's another case where we should also be working together on LGBT issues for the greater good.

Vulpine Rover also screams Labour are evil, and maybe they are, but this article shows how the conservatives are as bad, if not worse. I've never heard any of William Hague's speeches to the end; I find him a wondeful cure for insomnia. I eagerly await Sinister Mary's rationalisation of this alignment.

I just couldn't believe it that the Torys said these crazy Poles had somehow suddenly become liberal like magic over night. So far the Torys have systematcially fantasized and blatently lied to the public at every turn. They carelessly hold the public with contempt and are already corrupted with the arrogance of power and bad intention. It's going to be such a bad idea for this country to vote this lot in. You should vote to create a hung parliament. At last – final proof. I just couldn't believe it that the Torys said these crazy Poles had somehow suddenly become liberal like magic over night.

Expressing his disappointment that Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president, has failed to ban the concert he said: "This concert shouldn't have been arranged, her behaviour is immoral. The president, who calls himself a patriot, is a complete disappointment for me. "The concert by an utterly obscene vocalist is on the polish army holiday and the anniversary of the Miracle of the Vistula, which is of national significance". Nutters.
