Dazzled by shiny, happy, out New Labour
Article Abstract:
Some homosexuals in the UK seem to have been tricked by political propaganda into believing that the government will put an end to discrimination against them. In fact, Home Secretary Jack Straw has dropped a pre-election promise of anti-discrimination legislation on the basis of sexual orientation, and Prime Minister Tony Blair, although he has condemned homophobes, has done nothing positive to assist homosexuals. It is important that homosexuals are not blinded to these truths by the fact that a few MPs are openly homosexual.

Self-righteous brother
Article Abstract:
Some homosexuals in the UK seem to regard it as their mission to put great pressure on others to admit their homosexuality. This is particularly the case with the group OutRage!. The activities of these homosexuals rob others of the opportunity to decide for themselves whether it is appropriate for them to come out. OutRage! attacks its targets with great ferocity, but seems to be tolerated even though it will not show tolerance. It is now time to acknowledge that forced outing of homosexuals is not appropriate.

Truth or dare
Article Abstract:
The publicist Mark Borkowski markets the video set 'Murderers, Mobsters and Madmen,' documentaries of True Crime exempt from BBFC classification. The respectable 'Silence of the Lambs' and 'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer' show realistic crimes and the BBC1 programme 'Crimewatch UK' has high ratings for murder and rape reconstructions. True Crime videos appeal to the voyeuristic and may be the current fear as other fears recede.
