@Mike_Fabricant Gay sex legal in Spain along with drug decriminalisation. Hate to break sad news to the Tory backbenches but Franco is dead.

Just reading some of his latest efforts - he's permanently locked into 13-year-old schoolboy rugger bugger mode: smug and stupid.

Isn't it Portugal that decriminalised drugs, not Spain?

As far as I know it's legal to possess or grow weed for your own personal use in Spain and it's sold openly in some parts of the country. This may have changed since the current right-wing government came in though.

Less defined in law than Portugal

Also, bullfighting is in major decline there, too. Catalonia have already banned it.

Sacked.

Looks like it's getting nasty in Tory HQ...

I don't know how to feel about this sacking

'Well, about time' Tory vice-chairman Michael Fabricant sacked after tweeting his relief at resignation of Maria Miller over expenses row

Man overboard !

[Andy McDandy]

Well, on the one hand you can appreciate CCHQ wanting people to stay on message, and Fabricant has a history of being a maverick. On the other, as others have pointed out, he's only saying what plenty of others are feeling.

Either way, it makes the Tories look vindictive and weak. And now there's a media-hungry MP with no leash on him out there. Happy days.

If he was a maverick why make him vice-chairman

So he was inside the tent pissing out.

It's one thing to be sacked but to be sacked by a tosser like Grant Shapps that's got to hurt!

Working under a tosser like Shapps probably hurts a lot more
