Cameron’s modern Wakefield Tories: You’re queer (yay!), you’re here (yay!), BUT YOU WILL KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON, YOUNG MAN.
Written by the founding editor on 20th October 2006 – 10:24 amA war of words has broken out in Wakefield over a topless photo. Former Tory council candidate Nathan Garbutt has resigned from the party after local activists tried to stop him posing for gay magazine Attitude .
Members of the Conservative Group on Wakefield council have dismissed his allegations, and told Wakefield Today that Mr Garbutt, 21, left the party over a disagreement about policy.
Garbutt, who is openly gay, was approached by Attitude to take part in an article about gay activists in political parties. The magazine wanted him to pose topless.
Wakefield Conservatives will soon be advertising for a candidate to stand in the next General Election. Adam Rickitt need not apply.
