Sentenced to a 3-year rehabilitation order and placed on the sex offenders register. http://www.stockportexpress.co.uk/news/s/9/9641_disgraced_councillor_quits.html

Married father of two Mr Oaten, paid his male whores to subject him to `degradation and humiliation` involving acts considered `too disgusting` to describe in the News of the World. They are also too disgusting to describe here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4591036.stm

I saw a very disturbing leaflet from the LibDems recently. It carried the slogan: `Liberal Democrats - Working in your street`.
If you are a parent of young children (particulary boys), please be on your guard, and watch them with the utmost care and vigilance if you suspect that members of the Liberal Democrats may be active in your area.
Thank you

Now we know why the LibDems are so desperate to lower the age of consent - an issue raised every year at their party conference.
I believe this years LibDem bash is going to be held in Bournmouth.
Lock up your sons!!
