Controversial U.K. Mayor Cuts Gay Pride Funding,
Pledges End to Political Correctness in Government
By Hilary White
DONCASTER, UK, September 2, 2009
The recently elected mayor of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire,
has infuriated Britain's politically powerful homosexualist lobby=2 0
by attempting to withhold local funding for this year's Gay Pride
celebrations. The funding for this year's event in June went
through, but Mayor Peter Davies, a member of the English
Democrat party and the father of Tory MP Philip Davies, has
scrapped all future funding for the annual Gay Pride event.
"I'm not a homophobe," he said, "but I don't see why council
taxpayers should pay to celebrate anyone's sexuality."
Davies is only the second mayor of Doncaster to have been
elected directly by a popular vote rather than by council members.
He campaigned on a popular platform, that has reportedly
alarmed the political classes on both the Labour and Tory sides
of the House, in which he pledged to "stamp out political
correctness" in every area of Doncaster's local government.
To accomplish this, Davies has recruited the group
Campaign Against Political Correctness (CAPC) to consult
on his planned reforms. A spokesman for the CAPC,
John Midgley, said that "people are crying out" for an end
to the wave of politically correct policies in Britain.
"We commissioned a survey by ICM," Midgley said,
"that said 80 per cent of people are fed up to the back
teeth with it."
Davies promised to end council funding for "politically
correct initiatives" and to "scrap politically correct non-jobs"
such as "community cohesion offic ers" and "encourage
the former employees to seek meaningful employment."
In his first week in office, Davies fulfilled his promises by
cutting his own salary from £73,000 to £30,000; reducing
the number of councillors from 63 to 21, saving the town
£800,000 a year. He immediately announced plans to
reduce council tax by 3 per cent and got rid of the mayoral
limousine. He ended a "twinning" arrangement with five
towns around the world, which he described as "just for
people to fly off and have a binge at the council's expense."
While campaigning earlier this year, and in the midst of
a national pandemic of violent youth crime, Davies, who is
a retired school teacher, called for harsher punishments
for "young thugs." As a founding member of the Campaign
for Real Education, Davies has pressed for restoration
of traditional methods in schools that he says will reduce
crime and restore Britain's once-legendary public order.
He also called on the government to withdraw Britain
from the European Union "in order to save billions of pounds
each year and return control of the country's affairs
to our own parliament."
Calling him the UK's "most gloriously un-PC" mayor, the
Daily Mail's Robert Hardman asked, "Who should be most
worried about his success: Labour or the Tories? Because
his message threatens both ."
Hardman commented, "To the shock and dismay of many
local councillors and MPs, most of Westminster and the
entire Government, the assiduously straight-talking
Mr. Davies has just become one of the most powerful
politicians in Britain."
Columnist and pundit Gerald Warner, writing for the
Daily Telegraph's blog, called Davies's tenure "the beginning
of the end for political correctness" and a sign that "the counter
-revolution has begun." His agenda, Warner wrote, "against
all the tenets of consensual British politics, consists
of doing what the public wants."
