Old-school Libertarian "flag-fanatic" Andy supports the death penalty & the detention of asylum seekers, is a member of Hard-Right crank outfit The Freedom Association & was a member of the Monday Club - which even IDS thought made "distasteful" remarks on race & immigration!

Andy LOVES Blue passports, has consistently voted against bills furthering #LGBT rights, including equalising the age of consent. About same-sex marriage, he said: "Where would it end? You could finish up at a stage where the monarchy in this country is in a same-sex marriage!

Andy was Shadow Minister for Animal Welfare & repeatedly blocked a bill banning the use of wild animals in circuses from progressing through Parliament, arguing the circus is a "Great British institution…[that] deserves to be defended against the propaganda & exaggerations!"

While in his forties, the Telegraph reported that Andy "claimed more than £125,000 in second home expenses for a flat in London, while designating his childhood home 17 miles away – where his mum lived – as his main address!

But perhaps his greatest contribution to unifying forward-looking Tory Britain was when his @Facebook account joined a “Free Tommy” group backing the former leader of the English Defence League after he was jailed for 13 months in May for being in contempt of court.

What a guy!

And no, thankfully I'd never heard of the miserable old fruitcake either, until he started virtue-signalling about his poppy-wearing.

Lovely guy though, obvs.
