si lough Each new thing I hear about her makes me dislike her more. Do these cynical idiots really think they can fool enough people?:

After Baroness Warsi’s latest attack yesterday on David Cameron, following her resignation in a fit of pique from the Cabinet, will she now pen a tell-all memoir?

If she does, will the first woman Muslim Cabinet minister dwell for long over her one attempt to become an MP in her home town of Dewsbury in 2005.
The child of Pakistani immigrants, she is fluent in Punjabi, Urdu and Gujurati, and could get her message across to the constituency’s large Asian population.

In the Muslim area, dressed in traditional shalwar kameez, she cynically appealed to the anti-gay vote with a leaflet declaring: ‘Labour has scrapped Section 28, which was introduced by the Conservatives to stop schools promoting alternative sexual lifestyles to children as young as seven. Labour reduced the age of consent for homosexuality from 18 to 16, allowing schoolchildren to be propositioned for homosexual relationships.’

In the white, middle-class part of the constituency, the leaflet failed to appear — in a crude political calculation by Warsi that it would backfire. In Dewsbury, the Tory share of the vote fell, even though nationally it rose. Warsi blamed her defeat on the fact that ‘half the electorate didn’t like that I was brown, half that I was female’.

Neither half, I suspect, liked the fact she is a hypocrite.
