Is parliament a den of iniquity?
How many others arses will be going 2 bob sixpence now!

Any twitching arses will be thoroughly inspected, rubbed, pinched and spanked by a team of dedicated public servants. If the arses belong to younger people who rely on these dedicated public servants for employment and feel they can't object to being inspected all the better.

There will be a couple of fall guys, and the rest will get away with it.

Tend to agree; how long have the Bill Cosby allegations been dragging on for? Rich/famous/powerful bosses trying it on with the people who work for them. Whoda thunk it?

To be honest, when I saw the thread title I thought it was another one of your - erm, medical updates.

Sex Scandals among ministers, ah the good old days; brings me over all nostalgic.

Not another scandal .they must be like dogs on heat after their lunch breaks..

It's a strange one all of this in a way.

It's a bit like casual racism used to be and generational in a way, my mates nana used to call to black fella next door 'sam' to his face, that wasn't his name it was was short for sambo but he never corrected her. It didn't make her less racist or less wrong at the time it was accepted as the norm. Back in the day men especially ones in power or fame ruled the roost and were untouchable (so to speak) look at the arrogance of the Kevin Spacey statement the other day in which he used it as platform to come out gay, nobody gives fuck about that Kevin the person you tried it on with was 14. Why are dense people criticle of victims of abuse as well? Oh she said nothing then blah blah? Years ago imagine the stigma attached to speaking out? I do think a lot of money has been wasted in this operation Yewtree fallout, the Dave Lee Travis trial for example was the bloke was probably a letch but he clearly never commited abuse worthy of the court case. But sexual abuse and abuse of power deserves punishment, when it happened shouldn't matter really.

I think there's a lot more shit to come out on this fella. Although he's jacked and presumably still be an MP, will he still be addressed as Honourable and Sir?

I like the idea that his behaviour fell below the high standards that are expected of the armed forces he was minister for. Is there a list of what is OK according to position?
