Nick Clegg 'would never use' the term 'bigot'

I am a little bit surprised to see cameras assembled outside the gates, for the slightly obscure surprising reason that they expect me to use a word about opponents of gay marriage that I had no intention of using, would never use. It is not the kind of word that I would use. But there you go. That is one way of getting attention for a discreet little reception like this. But on a serious point, while I stridently disagree with those who would block moves towards equal marriage, I never seek to engage in debate in insulting terms.
