PINK NEWS: The Doncaster mayor who tried to ban funding for gay Pride marches has caused shock by claiming people should look to the Taliban as a good example of family values.
Peter Davies, an English Democrat who was elected in June, claimed that under the Taliban, Afghanistan had an "ordered system of family life".
Referring to recent child abuse scandals in the town, he added: "The one thing that can be said about the Taliban is that they do have an ordered society of some sort and that they don't have hundreds of cases of children under threat of abuse from violent parents as we do in Doncaster."
Although the mayor has been praised by some for his crusade against 'political correctness', his latest pronouncements have drawn rather less support. >>> Jessica Green | Wednesday, September 09, 2009
