The Lib Dems have admitted to unlawfully discriminating against former parliamentary candidate and award-winning BBC journalist David Campanale because of his Christian beliefs.
After a four-year legal battle — costing over £250,000 — Mr Campanale was vindicated.
He was “mocked and abused” for his beliefs and forced out as the prospective candidate for Sutton and Cheam.
One of the key instigators was now-MP and former rival Luke Taylor. Taylor now holds the role as the Lib Dem spokesperson for London.
The party has now admitted multiple counts of unlawful discrimination and agreed to pay damages.
This is not an isolated case. The Free Speech Union has seen repeated instances of the Lib Dems treating people appallingly for expressing lawful, protected beliefs.
At the very least, Ed Davey’s Liberal Democrats should apologise.
