Ross Thomson MP.

[BlackLabel]

A Conservative MP has been accused of groping men in a bar in parliament before being escorted away by police. Scotland Yard confirmed that officers had been called to the Strangers’ Bar after claims of “sexual touching” but added that no formal complaint had been made.





Apparently Brexit could be to blame.

Maybe he was just upset that banana inspections will no longer be mandatory

Anyhoo he's claming it's "completely false"

Regardless of whether a police complaint was made or not, in any other workplace you’d be suspended for this kind of behaviour.

In my workplace this kind of behaviour would result in a mild beating with nobody seeing anything.

This is why my workplace has none of this sort of behaviour.

Physical assault instead of sexual assault? Good solution.

Point of order. He said "would result in", not "does result in".

Clear inference that the existence of the threat of retaliatory physical assault is sufficient to deter would-be sexual assault offenders. Therefore everyone wins because no-one gets assaulted...

So what you’re saying is that the threat of simply being investigated by other members of the establishment isn’t a deterrent?

Maybe you’re right...........

Little absurd that a claim of sexual harrasment by an MP leads to a story about the stress he is under and how the Tory party should be supporting him through his hardships. If it was a women he had harassed the story would have been very different. Double standards.

Exactly that- everyone behaves because everyone understands consequences.

You know the proverb about speaking softly & carrying a big stick? It works well.

[irocfan]

If true he should be out (so to speak). Disgraceful behaviour

You realise that the proverb isn't talking about using an actual stick right?

It doesn't have to be used provided it's available. Nuclear weapons work the same way.

As for the MP, it's a sad state of affairs when we expect little better from them.
