British politico Miranda Grell's anti-gay past ain't going away. Grell first popped up on our pages when we reported on her disgusting anti-gay attacks on electoral opponent Barry Smith.

For those of you who have forgotten, Labour politico Grell told Waltham Forest residents that Smith favored Thai teenager, leading many to label Smith a pedophile. Never mind that fact that Smith's boyfriend's 39-years old and Malaysian, not Thai.

Waltham Forest officials ordered Grell to give up her seat and pay $2,000 fine, plus $6,000 in court free. Grell appealed the decision, but authorities weren't having it: they've ordered her to pay another $12,000 in court costs. The Labour party originally backed Grell's appeal attempts, but later dropped, citing "legal reasons".

Briton Miranda Grell's got a scandal on her hands. The Labour politico stands accused of spreading anti-gay rumors to defeat Waltham Forest incumbent, Barry Smith.

Smith's had been part of the local government for three years and seemed to be quite popular: he won a previous election by 600 votes. In an effort to boost her standings, Grell allegedly told voters that 56-year old Smith, who has a 39-year old boyfriend, kept an underage boyfriend.

Now the two are locked in a bitter court battle.
