THE LOONY LEFT

Teignbridge District Council in Devon has run into a difficulty in its determination to eradicate homophobia and discrimination against homosexuals. It has not only been unable to find any such discrimination, but it has further been unable to find any homosexuals either.

Despite a 3 year search and a £3,000 budget, the council has finally had to admit that there are no local homosexuals for them to rescue. This is despite the services of a market research firm to seek out homosexuals.

The local population is 120,000.

Councillor David Corney complained:

‘To suggest it was not possible to contact anybody is incredible. I am concerned the research was not properly done.’

Mrs Lynn McElheron, the council’s community initiatives manager, said:

‘There was concern that the minority groups had not been contacted. But to pursue it would have cost more money.’

Labour has put pressure on local authorities and quangos to ensure that they cater for minorities, under threat that they could lose funding.

So if there are any locals who wish to declare themselves as homosexuals, then Teignbridge District Council has funding available to tell you how victimised you are. Otherwise, there is a danger that the council will not be able to accuse the local population of being homophobic etc.
