Vince Cable Comes Out Against Gay Marriage
Just days after Nick Clegg flew the rainbow flag and declared a “new era of pride” in Britain, Vince Cable has announced that he considers changing the law to allow gay marriage “unnecessary“. Despite committing to voting for the government’s proposals, Vince told a constituent: “on the issue of same-sex marriage, my own personal view is that the status quo is fine, with same-sex couples being able to commit in a civil partnership.” Free vote for the Tories, whipped for the LibDems…
Hello ! Am i first ?
No.
My post was (like my growth rate) 0
I read the headline as ” Vince Cable comes Out ” “Against Gay Marriage “
And if we aren’t?
“The Murdoch-New Labour relationship became closer, more extensive
and deeper than anything that existed during the
Thatcher years. New Labour was prepared to pay a
high price, in terms of access and influence, for the
support of the Murdoch papers.”
It began in the Labour party Central Office.
What for ? is it to tell tales on Dave ?
No it’s Peter Mandelson he’s visiting.
Great Vince. Still think you are a prat though.
First intelligent comment from the Anti-Business Secretary!
Must be the first time I have ever agreed with Cable!
See above
I agree with Vince…

The Glib dumbs are all for gay marriage for one reason only
So Simon Hughes can slip into a ring !
As a “straight” I say (within reason) do whatever turns you on. Good on yer Vince. I can’t see the point of all this marriage in a church god bothering stuff. There are more important things to worry about, like now.
Getting rid of the chamber full of aged homosexuals ?
Don’t be silly, now. We have a lot to give – and take.
I’m also thinking that bottie sex is not such a good idea, and I intend to bring a law in that all people should be hermaphrodites just like me
Was bottie sex not compulsory at Eaton ?
Yes it was, we had to form a circle of chaps who had to hang on.
These days we call it the cabinet
Just like the old LieBore cabinet then – the pink mafia.
What do you call a Gayer who isn’t a flight attendant?
Minister.
Surely you mean ‘Brown’ mafia….in more ways than one!!!!
I’m in a same sex relationship !
with myself
I’m a full time Wanker
I even call my own name out when
chillaxingclimaxingYou’re supposed to call out my name, you miserable little twerp. I am your one true love, remember? You promised to devote yourself to me, now and forever.
And where’s today’s £50,000,000? It’s supposed to be on my desk by 10AM sharp!
Wonder if there will be ‘consequences’ (gulp) if this doesn’t go through?
I hadn’t thought of that. Is there no end to their evil, (gulp and gulp again) ?
We’ll ram it through one way or another and you’ll gulp the consequences.
I am organising a Tupperware party.
I am thetan level 4 with Tupperware

His crypto socialist friends & fellow travellers will be annoyed.
How are the left to continue tearing up a thousand years of British tradition & history if leading lights like Vince cannot stick to the narrative?
Has he got a fairly large Isl*am*ic commhoonity in his constituency by any chance?
I’m all for a “Pink Pound ing” and i would bend over backwards for Nick
“…the status quo is fine”
I agree with Vince,Status Quo are a great rock group.
Down down, deeper and down…
My personal view is the same as Vince Cable’s, though I am none too sure that we are allowed to have such opinions these days.
Yes, it was one of the few things to survive the almost total destruction of social values carried out by Labour. The continuing fear of the Thought Police remains.
AV……………………….We lose
Lords Reform………..We lose
Is a trend developing here for us LibDemons ?

Vote Enron
I would like to designate the bushes on Clapham Common as a site of special scientific interest
As we were ploughing the fields one day; my Labour built tractor broke down, or so I thought.
During my seven years at the rehabilitation centre, I learnt that Labour built tractors never broke down.
How we laughed and laughed as we ploughed the fields with our bare hands.
As we were talking about ploughing the fields one day; we decided we should discuss further
During a brainstorming of similar minds, and after drinking plenty of raffia tea our minds were made up. We would sleep on it.
How we laughed and laughed as the crop failed.
As we were ploughing the fields one day; our Tory built Japanese tractor worked great.
How we laughed and laughed as we ploughed the fields with our modern technology.
But then Dave said we should put it all back in the ground and have some raffia tea
But was it a PFI tractor
Vince must been on a bender.
Those lowly snivelling Libdums just love being whipped.
Worthy expression of intent on a core Liberal segment.
I was asked how I felt about it and I answered the question; it’s how an awful lot of people in the UK feel about it and, dare I say, probably most of us in Parliament, if we were being honest about it. Now if anyone has a problem with that, THIS is my answer to THEM:

But ill still vote as per the whip
Lib Dems whipping MPs like Cable. Another triumph for democracy eh, Nick?
Hmm. Can Vince arrange to be ‘paired’ and doing business somewhere else at the time of the vote, and thus avoid embarrassment?
Do they still do ‘pairing’ for Commons votes?
Can’t they “pair” him in the Human Centipede sense? Surgi*cally? Perhaps with Nick at the front.
(I can’t believe ‘sug*ically’ is on the mód list)
Oh well. I should have known better than to ask a sensible question on this blog…
The answer is ‘yes’, Eng. Although it’s an informal arrangement outside the House rules, such arrangements have to be registered with the whips.
In other words, you have a longstanding pairing with your oppo so that you can both skive off at the same time but still get those expenses in.
I preferred my answer.
If you read the article:
But he added “if it comes to a vote I would vote in favour of same-sex civil marriage”.
Not sure how that is ‘coming out against’…..
its called being a 2 faced twat….
Can someone tell me what the problem is?
Given that there are a number of religions—e.g. Rweform Judaeism and the Quaker—who want to perform single sex marriages, why should they be (as is currently the case) be prevented by law?
Because marriage means a union between a man and a woman only.
It cannot include same sex couples who cannot have normal sex or children.
If gay marriage is legalised, why not allow marriage with cats,dogs, sheep and goats?
Or people who are divorced?
Or adulterous divorcees even? Or adulterous divorcees who are too old to reproduce.?
Doesn’t anybody think about Phytoplankton?
It has been a time honoured custom to marry your sheep heart in carmarthenshire
That’s not my point.
There are (with apologies for the spelling mistakes in my OP) clearly a number of religions who do not consider these objections valid.
Why should they be prohibited by law from acting on their beliefs, merely because other faiths disagree with their views?
Because the bigots claims that would infringe religious freedom? Go figure?
Vince, as you well know, Lords reform and Gayer Marriage are the issues that matter most to voters. Not just a politically correct left-wing cabal. Stay on-message, please.
Much prefer a debate about same sex &
Straight marriage couples having the same rights as MPs
Well done Vince — telling the PC liberal wet tory sub-intellegentsia to get stuffed.
I fear that Airfix are plotting to make a Gordon Brown model
There must be a gag about Allcock and Brown in there somewhere…
£3 a month over 38 years. Comes without any gold paint.
Also available the fabled Labour Money tree (also not supplied with gold paint)
You’ll get sticky fingers if you squeeze your tube too much.
…whipped for the LibDems…
I remember the National Liberal Club being raided by the police in the late 1960s where they found a number of members, in various rooms, in a start of undress, tumescent in their riding boots whilst brandishing whips.
That is how the expression: I’ll be buggered if I become a Liberal originated.
Lets not forget Jeremy Thorpe and Norman Scott !
When Mrs Thatcher was first elected in 1979, my gf’s mother went off to bed but we stayed up watching and becoming increasingly excited.
Jeremy Thorpe loosing his seat was the climax for both of us (although he would have known nothing about it.)
I would like to have gay sex with Nick Robinson
Behind you !!
Free vote for the Torys
Whipping for the Lib/Dems — sounds about right.
We’re all going on a summer holiday no more working for a week or two. Fun and laughter on our summer holiday, no more worries for me or you.
Hey Vince!
Not surprised. Who on earth would want to marry him?
