Sick dogging perverts - Cast slurs of homophobia on firemen.

Firemen who shone their torches at four men they found having sex in bushes have been disciplined by their bosses.

The crew spotted the men engaged in illegal 'dogging' - outdoor sexual activity with strangers - on parkland known as the Downs in Bristol late one night.

After embarrassing the men by pointing their torches at them, the crew continued on their way to their fire station.

But one of the 'doggers' complained to Avon Fire and Rescue, ultimately accusing the four-man crew of being homophobic.

The firemen, who have 26 years of service between them, were then suspended on full pay for three months during an internal investigation.

Yesterday it emerged that two have been fined £1,000 each, another demoted to a rank which will see him forfeit a similar amount of money, while a fourth has received a stern written warning.

It is believed Avon Fire and Rescue plans to give the money raised from the fines to a gay rights charity.

Among those being considered is the Jamaican Forum for Lesbians All-Sexuals and Gays.

The crew have been transferred to other stations and ordered to attend an equality course.

**This is what used to be called "social engieering" or "brainwashing" I advise anyone who thinks that "an equality course" is aything other than that to read George Orwells book 1984.

But no action has been taken against any of the men believed to have been involved in the dogging.

**How typical engage in illegal activities = no punishment, do your job = punishment.

The one who complained is said to be 'happy' at the outcome of the disciplinary proceedings in which the firemen were charged with bringing the service into disrepute and misuse of fire equipment.

The firemen, formerly members of Avon Fire Service's Blue Watch at Avonmouth station in Bristol, have been banned from discussing the incident, which took place at about 10.30pm on June 27.

But one of their colleagues said yesterday: 'This is a complete farce. All four officers have been let down by their senior officers when they needed their support the most.

'They have been treated as the criminals and it has been forgotten that they witnessed criminal activity occurring in a public place.'

**Not that that matters after all this is New Labours Cool Britannia, where everyone has rights except those who follow the laws of the land. The fact that social degenerates can dictate to the fire service is just plain wrong, nothing to do with homophobia or any other phobia. Instead these degenerates have cast a slur on the reputation of people who on a day to day basis save lives and help society.

What can these degenerates claim to offer society. If they wish to improve themselves then I advise them to apologise to the firemen, or failing that then to reach for the razor blades and slit their wrists open and do the world a favour.

Richard Littlejohn on the sodomites.

The last line of Tom Robinson's 1978 anthem Glad To Be Gay goes: "The buggers are legal now, what more are they after?"

It was supposed to be ironic. Back then, even though homosexuality was no longer a criminal offence for consenting adults, gays faced prejudice and persecution.

I can remember singing along with Tom. Though homosexuality wasn't exactly my idea of a night out, I thought it outrageous that gays were subjected to discrimination in areas such as employment, housing and pensions.

I've always argued in favour of civil partnerships.

Although I draw the line at cottaging - casual sex in public toilets - it struck me as absurd that what Tom Robinson called "pretty policemen" were being sent to entrap men into propositioning them.

Fast-forward nearly 30 years and I would imagine that most people would agree with the commentator Matthew Parris who argued recently that Britain, while not perfect, is probably the best country in the world in which to be openly gay.

As Brucie used to say on the Generation Game: "What have they got? They've got the lot!" Age of consent, adoption, you name it.

That's still not enough for some people. While homosexuality is no longer a crime, so-called 'homophobia' is....
