I used that comment to say that someone coming out with 'stuff the rules' does not justify their actions. I did not retract it, I just used it as an extreme example.

Usually they do run stories on equality matters, however I guess this week there was nothing on that matter worth reporting upon. In the above story I'm sure it would have gone unnoticed had it not been 'Red Ken' making comments.
And would you define 'people like Russ'? Not sure what you're trying to suggest by that but I'll say had the council shown blatant descrimination based on sexuality then I'd have been behind you all the way (in the non-sexual sense of course
) however this is simply not the case here.
