Richard Littlejohn has committed a terrible crime and all hell has let loose. ‘Please don’t pretend that two dads is the new normal, it isn’t,’ he boldly wrote on Friday.

Diver Tom Daley and his husband proudly posing all over the newspapers and on social media, with the ultrasound of ‘their’ yet-to-be-born baby, precipitated his plea for truth. He wrote:

I still cling to the belief that children benefit most from being brought up by a man and a woman.
