More Vaz

Vaz's trouble is that he's spent too long being a supercilious and pompous prick so he has no reservoir of good faith to draw upon. I bet there are a dozen other MP's this story could have been written about but who have curried enough favour over the years that their predilections will remain undercover for as long as they don't upset the apple cart.

Pretty much my take on it. He's always come across as a slimy sod but I'm not sure I'd wish this on him tbh.

So a man currently overseeing a reform of Britain's prostitution laws shouldn't be exposed for using prostitutes. No conflict of interest there at all.
He is a sanctimonious tt, who pontificates everybody that appears before him at the HASC, while all the corruption and other serious allegations against him get swept under the carpet by Parliament.

So any MP responsible for reviewing traffic laws should not be permitted to drive?

Jesus Christ. That's the most ridiculous comparison I think I've ever read on PH.

Does being that silly give you a headache?

I hadn't any idea he was doing that, so yes, that puts a bit of a different slant on it

That's my point, he has broken no laws.

Journalists really have no business publishing details about his private life.

...but surely we would expect him to know what he is talking about, so maybe this was resaerch?? Like he labour supporter Pete Townsend.

Maybe he's Vaz's son?

It's a fair and reasonable comparison.

Prostitution is legal (but subject to certain criteria).

[austinsmirk]

Try saying Valerie vaz without rhyming it to the tune of blankety blank.

Now I've told you, it's impossible.

He should be prosecuted for misconduct in a Public Office, but failing that I'd like to think someone who has such senior positions has honesty, integrity and good judgement.
He's a man that has sat and castigated, vilified and abused those who have sat before him in the HASC. He demanded a 'code of ethics' for Police Officers stating they should be above reproach. All the time, this lying, sordid individual was buying young men forced into prostitution for his own pleasure. (That's before we even consider the more serious allegations against him)

Yeah. There's he's got nothing to answer for at all.

After watching some of the Select Committee circuses he ran, where he preached all high and mighty about integrity, all I have to say is:



Not sure if it's better than Mitchell receiving a seven-figure bill for his libel farce. Close.

You must have very low standards if you think it's OK for an elected politician, charged with overseeing the moral standards of the Country, to behave like this. Incidentally he appears to have lied to both his 'escorts' and his family in this matter. Are you OK with blatantly dishonest politicians? ( Hard to think if one who isn't, I know)

Not to mention Vaz's previous disgraceful record.

If he isn't finished by this there is little hope for us, in all honesty.

I remember an incident with Keith Vaz regarding his motoring in the late nineties as a midlands policeman, but I can't find a link on google so the stories either been removed or my memory is failing.

This quote from an article where Vaz and his committee suggest the Police should lose elements of their pension for misconduct in office seems quite relevant today:

"There should be sanctions for officers found guilty of grave misconduct offences, in the form of a scale of fines to be docked from pensions, and register of those who have been dismissed by one force or retired to avoid disciplinary hearings, the report says. "No officer should see retirement as a get-out-of-jail-free card," the report said.",

No vested interest for you then.

What evidence do you have that the prostitutes were being forced into it?

[jogger1976]

I would have some sympathy for him....................where it not that he's made a career out of being a smarmy, smug, pompous, self righteous prick.

Some of his performances at Select Committees have been absolutely cringe worthy, so fk him!

I'm not commenting on morals, different people have different standards.

I am commenting on legality. His seeing a prostitute in the privacy of his home (well second home) is perfectly legal and nothing to do with us.

Reports suggested that Mr Vaz had not resigned completely, but temporarily."

He just doesn't care does he!

He might need a bit of time out to explain to Mrs Vaz why he is banging an eastern European male prostitute without a rubber.
