I think I agree with the T-man in that this particular example is not a good one. A better one would be the two councillors who were suspended for making, or e-mailing, a racist joke. They are not racists, of course. They just like a racist joke. That, I think, is more what this is about; that a lot of tories have these prejudices, old fashioned, narrow minded or just plain ignorant views, they don't really 'get' what is wrong with this kind of crap but they have learned not to say it in public. And I doubt that is really true for most Labour or LibDem politicians for all their faults.
