...don't tend to make jokes about Brit pols being homosexuals...
not because it's above me but because -- as you say -- I
don't really follow politics in England.
From what I know, Daniel Hannan is my kind of Brit. Gordon Brown
isn't...

I don't exactly see your point or direction concerning toleration.
I didn't like the joke about Bush/Clinton being gay, coming from a non-American.
It wasn't funny nor in good taste. I wouldn't do that to you Brits. And if I did,
I'd expect it wouldn't go down well.
