or Westminster Witch-hunt .

Re: Labour MP's homophobic & sexist remarks
 

The witch hunt won't just be at Westminster either. Allegations must be taken seriously but what we can't have is people's lives and careers being ruined without any real foundation and that's already happened as a result of the fallout from the Savile episode, just ask people like Tony Blackburn.

I’ve done this, now it’s been established this is a cross party issue.

What is this obsession politicians have with touching people's knees ? They've never done anything for me..... Each to their own I guess, but they are a weird bunch.

Re: Westminster Sexual Allegations
 

Now Michael White is in the firing line for comments on female journalists who use their sexuality to their advantage:

He's right, some do but that isn't the same as blaming all young women for the actions of men in positions of power who abuse their status. That however is how his comments are being presented by some.

We need to get real here and accept that whilst their are many men who've used their power, status and wealth to influence young women (and men) in an abusive manner there are some women who've done the same in reverse. They've used their sexuality to influence men to get what they want. The only difference is that the older men deluded themselves that they were attractive and desired whereas the relatively young victims of people like Weinstein largely felt intimidated into acting in a certain way.

I've not been following this thread so i am not sure if this is related to anything in this thread.

Michael Fallon resigns.

Re: Westminster Sexual Allegations
 

It's very related and probably the right course of action. Let's see who else follows.

Re: Westminster Sexual Allegations
 

Almost certainly something else coming, The Sun were clearly ramping up to something.

Re: Westminster Sexual Allegations
 

Indeed the coming next few days one suspects will reveal even more.

Sooner or later:

Mind you the source can't be trusted at all because they've entirely overlooked all the allegations being made against the Tories... :rolleyes:

Re: Westminster Sexual Allegations
 

i wonder which party will be revealed as having the most hands on members ?

Re: Westminster Sexual Allegations
 

The main thing is to investigate the sexual allegations and find out whether they are true thus what party they are from is pretty immaterial as this is a matter that is more important then what political party they belong to.

Re: Westminster Sexual Allegations
 

this could have the potential to destroy a political party so it is very material given it's happening in Westminster

Re: Westminster Sexual Allegations
 

That would be the Tory's... no surprise there then.
