In his speech at the Liberal Democrat’s annual conference in York, the Deputy PM certainly said he loved a lot of things about Britain, including:

– The telephone

– The steam engine

– The jet engine

– The world wide web

– Oscar winning visual effects

– Theatre, fashion, music, film

– Pomp and ceremony

– Irreverence towards its establishment

– Prince George

– Private Eye

– Queuing

– The BBC

– The NHS

– Multicultural cities

– The feeling of freedom

– The shipping forecast

– T-shirts and flip-flops at the first glimpse of sun

– Human rights and the rule of law

– The European Convention on Human Rights and the Single Market

– A cup of tea

– The Premier League

– Gay marriage

Specifically on being gay Clegg said:

‘I look at what’s happening in places like Russia, where the government is effectively criminalising homosexuality, and I love that Britain is a place where you can be gay and proud – and now you can get married too.’

Last month Nick Clegg went on record to state that the anti-gay situation in Uganda was ‘abhorrent’

The Lib Dem leader also lambasted UKIP, saying that Nigel Farage was ‘ungenerous, backwards-looking’. UKIP has been drawn into a number of dispute because of their members’ views on homosexuality.
