To my knowledge, Simon had never publicly attacked or criticised others for their sexuality. In this piece, I was highlighting the fact that John Prescott had previously used the sexual shennanigans of other politicians as material for his conference speeches - hence he was a hypocrite! (I really don't care who he's been sleeping with at all) I don’t think so and I’ll explain why:

It certainly goes with the territory in public life. We are all guilty of fuelling this: when the sex scandal breaks out in a rival party, we throw a party. We love to see the ritual humiliation when it happens to an Archer or a Blunkett. But when it’s our own party in the firing line, we see the cynicism of it all." Yet another example of Lib Dems saying one thing and doing something completely different?
