Benjamin_Nevis Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Huge politics news overnight as Farage retires again and Laurence Fox announces he's running for Mayor of London on an anti-"extreme political correctness" platform. And we took the piss out of America for Trump.Farage is busy grifting on youTube. The humiliation potential for "Lozza" here is terrific though [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but replying to the inevitable question of, "why was he banned?" results in the employment of the banhammer, so let's not go there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't before my time, I know he posted a lot on most Rangers issues but as far as I recall he was relativley normal, I'm guessing I missed his cancellation? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, all elected politicians commenting on breaches of social distancing come across in this way. Especially as to express concern about a particular instance seems fultile given how often people ignore it elsewhere aware from the news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I see Patrick Grady has stood down as SNP Chief Whip due to allegations of sexual harrassment being made against him. There are also allegations against an unnamed female colleague of his, who allegedly harrassed a male staffer in Strangers Bar. Grady is alleged to have harrassed someone in a pub in East London. Do MPs just spend their time getting drunk and groping people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do MPs just spend their time getting drunk and groping people? A lot of these cases have a common theme - alcohol.Alcohol consumption doesn’t cause sexual assault directly, but it is one of the most important risk factors that contribute to sexual violence.Excessive alcohol consumption increases the possibility of sexual assault. Victim and/or perpetrator can be impaired by alcohol. Ethanol has a negative influence on brain structures which are responsible for sexual and violent behavior. Alcohol consumption increases aggression, and in some people, sexual desire and emotional instability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Like journalism, hard drinking seems to be part of the culture of Westminster politics. Not sure about Holyrood. You can somewhat excuse a youngster acting out when getting bladdered, as they haven't worked out who they really are when the shackles are off. Anyone who reaches middle-age and still takes a drink, despite knowing they're likely to become aggressive in some way, deserves whatever they get. Edit: alcoholism is a different matter, of course.

ICTChris Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Apparently there were more allegations made against Grady but he was kept in his position. According to the Times one of the complainants was called to a meeting in Ian Blackfords office with Grady, who tearfully apologised. There are rumblings that this is part of the briefing war between Salmond and Sturgeon, with Grady in the Sturgeon camp. This is backed up The Times’ account of the SNP MPs meeting where Joanne Cherry asked Blackford why they kept someone who had had complaints made against them on the front bench while sacking her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
