      It's clear I reacted too fast to what I was told was an assault on our values as a Conservative party, but in actuality was poor journalism with malicious intent. Lesson learned.

      I have huge respect for intellectualism. The gift of free speech and free thought is a precious one, and one I have actually fought and bled for, unlike many of my detractors in this case. Cowardice? Give me a break. The reality is that my causes - 2/

          and reading that one of our great thinkers believes homosexuality is ‘not normal’. I'm in it for them I'm afraid. I am in this to bind people together, not mark my homework in the purity of an intellectual argument.

          We’ve lost the country by doing precisely that when it comes to Brexit. Politics in this nation is in the gutter.

          You should know enough to check your facts Johnny. We couldn't trust you to look for an unexploded bomb now could we, on the strength of that performance.

          This is a strange article. You accept that he had to leave but say you were wrong to call on him to resign. I didn’t know that you fought for free speech either. Were you in the Army?
