Merthyr MP

Not that it matters, but I can only imagine what the old heads in Merthyr voting Labour would have thought if they knew at the time of voting, that Gerald Jones is openly gay.

You're right, what does it matter?

Just an observation.

I voted for them and I don't mind at all.

Although I find homosexuality distasteful it should not matter at all

If he's "openly gay", then he wasn't hiding it, so most of the people up their probably new anyway

Election campaigns now consist of a leaflet through the door. So I really dunno if many will know.

He has only got a wiki page since his victory. In the 2 sentences he has on it one is dedicated to his sexuality.

Seems like a decent guy anyway. I've asked him for tickets to get into the public gallery for Prime Ministers questions and he said he will look into it. But he said he was currently sorting his office out in Westminster, so my timing probably is not the best.

hes never actually lived in Merthyr and I think hiding that from the public would have done him more harm

I imagine the bigoted Ukipers would have made a lot of it.

I doubt it as the previous Labour MP for the area was also 'strongly' rumoured to be gay. You imagination runs wild at times bluemun

Them??

So you voted for the Party and not the man himself??

Agree that his sexuality shouldn't come into it !

i think you are a little confused about ukip....they want to close the borders.....not nazis......

To be totally honest yes.

Apart from the hustings that i watched 5 minutes of i had not heard 1 word from the candidates. So i had to vote for the party. I didnt know which way to go but i picked those in the end. Not gutted either way.

The communist guy came across the best actually.

got a bit worried in that line.

That's fine!

It was just the way you worded your initial reply that made me think that it was the Party rather than the individual

exactly ,the lefties always play the racism card when they don't like a party or policy. Ukip are about protecting our country for British born people whatever your race ,even some of the different coloured people have had enough and can see we have a problem with immigration
