"When will (certain) mps ever learn that if they do really daft things they might get caught out. I worry, I really do, that these people can influence my life. If you want to text women and ask them to wear pig noses don't become an mp. It really is that simple" Or do it on a platform that lets you stay anonymous... like fab. | |||

"How has the story come out? Celebs etc want sex lives too. Basically he sent the texts to a local barmaid and her friend. So it seems they leaked them. I guess they got bored of being his fuck pig. " Shame they can't be done under revenge porn laws. From the Guardian- 'He said he would be seeking professional help to address his unacceptable behaviour sending sex texts. “I do not seek to excuse my behaviour and will be seeking professional help to ensure it never happens again."' Professional help for liking sex?? The mind boggles. Some papers are calling him depraved. It all sounds pretty tame to me. Poor guy. | |||

However all the time it sells papers these people will be outed. If everyone just said "so what!" mps could request pig nose ladies in peace and bar maids would have to find another source of income. | |||

If you want to text women and ask them to wear pig noses don't become an mp. It really is that simple" I always consider that behaviour as a pre requisite to becoming a politician, I just assume they are all up to it. A 'bit kinky' is in the person specification for the job. It is then a good get out clause for if ever they need the sack. Just set them up in their kink of choice and get the photos leaked out. Instant easy dismissal  | |||

"Tory Minister Andrew Gritthins has resigned because of a sexting scandal, and my goodness is it funny. Highlights include: "I had a slut who I made dress up like a pig. Piggy nose, ears, fuck out written across her forehead and a piggy tail **** ****" "Daddy has been up making speeches and running the country. But what he really wants to be doing is fucking naughty girls". Gritthins is a long term campaigner for more women MPs and corporate executives. Understandable. How else is he going to get to fuck them? He should have gone to fab swingers really. " If it’s betwedn consenting adults I don’t see the problem. He’s entitled to a sex life the same as the rest of us. | |||

But wouldn't you agree they shouldn't engage in kink with their patients ?" It's not really the same. You can't say an MP has the same relationship to their constituents as a doctor does to their patients. The problem is that texting stuff like that is hideously embarrassing, especially when the person in question is married. He could, of course, have toughed it out and ran the. "it's a private matter and nothing to do with my professional role" line , but that would have ensured tshe story, and the embarrassment to party and government, continued. He did the right thing by party and government by resigning. | |||

He's an elected MP. He can be unelected just as easily. Or are you suggesting anyone perceived to be in "an authority position" is not entitled to a private life. More media generated salacious gossip and digging around for prurient interest in generating sales seems closer to the facts. | |||

"Well I guess that depends on how you define power positions and conflict of interest....just where is that conflict of interest? What's that I can smell...oh yeah psuedo sanctimonious bulls**t..." If not an MP, then how would you define a position of power or authority? And putting yourself in a position that opens you up to b****mail (which is what this is effectively) shows a spectacular lack of judgement. I wouldn’t trust him to decide what colour pants to wear, let alone make decisions that affect everyone in the country. | |||
