This, about the Sexual Orientation Regulations, made me really sad. All the examples the opponents of the bill gave, like hoteliers liable to prosecution for refusing a double room to a gay couple, were things that I thought "But that's what I would want to happen!". I think I may be a lefty pinko liberal.

On the other hand, this, about a new random radio station launching in Oxford, sounds quite interesting

Actually, I quite like the idea that a discriminatory hotelier would be forced to explicitly state those values up front.

Sadly, this might only replicate the 'members only' club mentality/solution that prevailed in times before.
