Sri Lanka: Afghanistan and Pakistan (5 Feb 2009) has video

Denis MacShane: ...wants to kill, but rejects all the values that uphold democracy—the rule of law, open economies, freedom of expression—as well as the rights of those of other religions and women and gays to live their lives as they wish. It is not just western countries who suffer from this ideological assault. Al-Qaeda's number two, Mr. al-Zawahiri, has stated that the Pakistani Government...

[Sir John Butterfill in the Chair] — Anti-Semitism (19 Jul 2007)

Denis MacShane: ...management, were Zionist agents. Without question we despised Jews". He writes also: "We suspected that the college management was dominated not only by Jews, but by homosexuals too....there was a gay-Jewish conspiracy to undermine our efforts." I read these extracts because perhaps people do not understand how mutilated is the thinking of those ideologues. It is not narrowly a matter of...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Human Rights (5 Jun 2007)

Denis MacShane: We saw an egregious assault on human rights on television the other weekend, with the beating-up of Mr. Peter Tatchell in Moscow in a Gay Pride demonstration. Added to the denial of human rights to Mr. Litvenenko's widow by the contemptuous refusal to co-operate with judicial and legal authorities in the UK on the extradition of a suspect, and the contempt shown by Russians for the murder of...

Christian Communities (Asia) (17 Jul 2002)

Mr Denis MacShane: ...to all religions not to demand that their particular perspective dominates public policy to the exclusion of others. That relates to the positions taken by different religions on issues such as gay rights, women being allowed to control their own bodies, and even the demand that religious perspectives are put into governmental or international state policy. In that sense, my fundamental...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: China (14 May 2002)

Mr Denis MacShane: Again, Chinese treatment of minorities and gay Chinese is to be deplored, but I am not sure that the World Trade Organisation is the right place to bring those issues to the world's attention. The hon. Gentleman said that he has a Chinese one. I am not sure what the one is, but perhaps one day he will wear pigtails in the Chamber. I am sure that he himself can raise those matters as he wishes to.

Orders of the Day — Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill (25 Jan 1999)

Mr Denis MacShane: ...contrast with the shadow Home Secretary, the right hon. Member for Sutton Coldfield (Sir N. Fowler)—I was not sure from his Uriah Heepish speech, in which he seemed to want to be nice to the gay community but terrified of saying no to the opinion polls, how he intends to vote—I shall say which way I shall vote. I shall vote in support of the Bill. I pay particular tribute to...

Orders of the Day — Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill (25 Jan 1999)

Mr Denis MacShane: ...of 16, I find it preposterous that, whatever their sexuality, the three girls may do as they wish once they reach the age of 16 without facing criminal sanctions, but should my son declare himself gay or become, or express himself as a gay, he could face criminal sanction. As a parent, I find it unacceptable that the law should say yes to my daughters, but mean that I would have to visit...

Orders of the Day — Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill (25 Jan 1999)

Mr Denis MacShane: ...education manual because the Daily Mail told him to. He pandered to the worst reactionary prejudices in our society. To paraphrase the hon. Member for Witney, the problem with sex is not whether it is gay sex or so-called straight sex, but whether it is safe sex; sex in a context of advice and eduction and sex within a loving relationship. I say to my hon. Friends, one of whom is a...

Orders of the Day — Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill (25 Jan 1999)

Mr Denis MacShane: I advise the hon. Lady to spend a long time in Africa, and then return. There she will find that the problem of AIDS is not confined to gay men. I almost regret having mentioned my children at the start of the speech, but it was on a subject about which I feel passionately. Hon. Members who pray in aid their children open themselves to the newspaper treatment—children of hon. Members...
