Sadly we were unable to attend this morning’s hustings, but fortunately Dave Hill was there and has posted an audio recording, which I’m just listening to now.

Apparently Boris was challenged about his outrageous support for the anti-gay Section 28 legislation and gave an utterly illogical and nonsensical response about believing in liberty – why censor teachers from discussing particular issues with their pupils if you believe in liberty?

I’m delighted to see (on Dave’s blog) that there was a particularly excellent protest outside, by three men and a dog:

That is of course a reference to Boris’s writings on gay marriage a few years ago, when he said that if it was acceptable (and he was "unsure" about that), he could see no reason why we shouldn’t "consecrate a union between … three men and a dog". Well done to those three – and the dog!
