Talk:Nick Herbert

Robert Smithson says: I'm not sure at all about Alan Duncan being the first openly gay Conservative MP. Mathew Parris 'outed' himself in a debate on Northern Ireland in the early '80s. And nobody cared very much.

Nick Herbert and Southampton University
I'm confused. I'm sure I remember Nick Herbert at Southampton University in the era 1983 to 1985. Am I imagining this?

If you are imagining it, then so am I. I read law at Southampton between 1983 and 1986 and clearly remember a student in the year above called Nick Herbert who chaired both Gaysoc and SUCA (Southampton University Conservative Association) Rebecca Shaw 10:37, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Personal interests and political interests
I have added a brief section about Herbert's life-long support of fox hunting and other blood sports. I held back on linking to his appearance in a 1989 interview by Michael Buerk on "Nature:Hunting & Hunt Saboteurs" (see here, and also mentioned here). This personal interest seems quite apposite to his political role as shadow Environment Secretary around 2010-12 for promoting the repeal of the Hunting Act 2004, and potentially to his new role as chair of the college of policing. However, it seemed best to leave it open a consensus as to whether expanding is appropriate or 'undue', especially as the video might not itself have been validly uploaded to YouTube.
