Clegg “deleted”

Shaun Ley has the rest of the story.

    That’s not normal for them and all sounds bit odd to me.

    This sounds so way off the wall as to be laughable. If true it just goes to show how desparate the Muroch Press is to see our destruction.

    @Hywel. I guess so. I guess I am getting from you lot a flavour of the prejudice that trans people get!
