South West Tory MEPS ally with anti-gay Polish MEPS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- 23 JUNE 2009

New Euro alliance is an insult to Jewish, gay and women voters says SW
LGBT Spokesperson

Tory MEPs Giles Chichester, Ashley Fox and Julie Girling are set to
form an alliance in the European parliament which has a homophobic,
racist and sexist agenda it was revealed yesterday. They are among many
Tories taking their seats after the June 4th Euro Elections but it has
angered some people.

The South West Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual, Transgender Greens Group
coordinator Ryan Cleminson said "The proposed new alliance between our
elected Tory MEPS and far right Poland's homophobic Law and Justice
Party (PiS) calls into question David Cameron's so-called conversion to progressive Conservatism.
Jewish, gay and women voters will all be appalled to see the Tories
planning to work with such a bigoted party."
