Government Minister Sacked

Over misconduct claims.

Must be pretty serious if he’s unceremoniously ditched, not even suspended?
Seems to have a bit of previous too?
At least they’ve addressed it immediately, be interesting to see what come out in the wash though.

// NEVER any proof. On paper it is always someone yakking //

To safeguard against accusations of homophobia and/or leaving oneself open to libelous remarks, it's always best when making comments on topics of this nature, one ensures their sentences contain at least once, the word 'allegedly'!

// Gk philosopher looked at his belly button and said
we dont know anything ! //

If you mean Father Brown, he was not into judging people, his interest was purely in saving souls!

[Peter Pedant]

we are talking about politicians - it is quite hard to libel them
excuse
Judges were opining that it was not the function of the law ( as amended) to stifle political discussion
qo quite alot might pass as political comment which might be unacceptable on the street

evg news - wandering hand - BUT not every hand that wanders does so with criminal intent.

// we are talking about politicians - it is quite hard to libel them //

Not hard enough it would seem. Labour MP Richard Burgon.

// wandering hand - BUT not every hand that wanders does so with criminal intent.//

Agreed!
However a wandering hand breaches the code of acceptable behaviour. Albeit not stifled, such hands are sometimes slapped by the judges.

excuse;

Perps fail or choose not to, recognise boundaries.

Arrr... Poor Norman!

[gulliver1]

If this MP has had the whip suspended, does that mean. No more tied to the bed posts ?.

[jno]

Boris is no longer in a position to dish out knighthoods. However, he apparently did plan to give Burns one (fnarr fnarr) in his resignations honours list; I don't know what went wrong.

[ZebuSanctuary]

// whip suspended... (cut)... No more tied to the bed posts ?. //

Yep... Signal for the chambermaids.
Oh wait... I'm getting this confused with French Politics.
