Have you looked at the satellite image underneath that :lolol: I'm not saying its made up, but the Mirror has absolutely chosen this non-entity of a place that the locals don't even know, rather than saying 'near Helston' like every sane-minded publication would, because it has a funny name with connotations of Johnson.

and fair play to them I say :)

I get that - it piqued my interest so I had a look. As I say, hamlet but very easily found by Googling. Think I could have come up with that. Tabloid journalism is easy. There's probably a pun around Flambards if you try hard enough. Boris rides the Helston Skelter.

Or Senior management groping the office juniors at the pub Friday night after work ???

I’m not saying this makes choosing not to make an official complaint right - but anybody pressing sexual assault charges against a government deputy chief whip can expect to have every facet of their private life and that of their family dissected not just by defence lawyers but by the national media too; so the ‘public interest’ dimension of this scenario makes it different from almost any other. Like I say, I’d deal with it myself rather than go through that shit for months on end. Probably something Pincher is aware of.

I agree completely that every individual should make their own decision

It's more the attempts to normalise it that I disagree with 'it happens every Saturday night all over town' type thing :thumbsup:

That area is ripe for tabloids. Brill is a slam dunk and Nancenoy could give some of our 70s minded friends a Pincher headline.

The sort of people we have in government...


Boris Johnson is facing accusations he ignored warnings about alleged sexual misconduct by his former deputy chief whip, Chris Pincher, after a string of further claims about the MP emerged.

The prime minister is under pressure to explain what he knew about Pincher’s conduct, amid claims by the former No 10 aide Dominic Cummings that Johnson referred to him as “Pincher by name, pincher by nature”.

Another Dom Bomb. I can see him now in his lair, stroking his cat with his soft-black-gloved hand. Smirking.

Does it even happen though? And where? Any old pub? Any old 'nightclub'? And was it really 'the norm' back in the day (select your day from whenever, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, noughties)?

When I was going out 3 or 4 nights a week in the late 70s and early 80s, normally with a group with more women than men in it, this was not a 'thing' at all. Perhaps it was to do with the sorts of venues we went to, never the likes of Sherries...and by the early 80s (relocated to London) it was mostly gay clubs. When I moved to Vancouver in 82 the experience was the same, albeit once again I'd not go to mainstream venues.

Have I sidestepped all this bollocks simply by not hanging around with 'normal, middle of the road, phwoah! wot a stunna' types? If so, that's quite a disturbing thought. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm not suggesting that sexual assaults are rare, by the way. Most women I've known have been groped or worse at one time or another. But not three times a night every time they go out, not now and not 'back in the day'. And as noted above, it doesn't matter how commonplace it may be, it's still unacceptable.

I really can't understand why anyone would even try and defend it :shrug:

Or office "juniors" groping senior management of course.

I know of an incident at a company in London (not mine, but through contacts) where somebody grabbed the big boss (who had flown in from the Status) between their legs.

Completely pissed up and told to go home (this wasn't a party), they proceeded to stack their car in the office car park.

On the completely unconfirmed rumours of the "office nosh" that happened too at a previous place after a boozy lunchtime.

The recipient resign immediately (well technically not "immediately") and the pleasurer was suspended and eventually sacked.

There were also an habitual nads grabber and attempted to crush mine at a leaving do.

No wonder BJ was so reluctant to let him go.

Dom was hounded by the media, public and left high and dry. Rightly so, after his eye test saga.

He most definitely has unfinished business with BJ.

its not making it acceptable, especially for an MP, just observation this type of behaviour is common and doesnt get reported. maybe perspective as an ex-doorman, would see things and respond often, people involved would leave it there (or not, and "unoffical" action taken).

I suspect it was Princess Nut Nuts who got rid of him, so that’s the reason for his revenge mission.

Johnson doesn't care about conduct or responsibility. He gets that in part from his Dad (no mask on tube and fly home from 'banned' countries via a third) and his 'King of the World' complex.

As a twisted libertarian, there's nothing wrong with a bit of horse play groping. Something in latin.

I guess The Mail have re risk assessed him and concluded that he really has gone rogue. They need to run away and fast.

Yes the tone has changed in the Sunday Mail.

Squirming minister Therese Coffey insists Boris Johnson didn't know about previous allegations against groping shame MP

Boris knew Tory MP faced lurid allegations TWO YEARS before appointing him to senior post

Stop picking on Boris the grate and MOVE ON snowflakes

Theres a good explanation for all the allergations against him. When he was entertaining Carrie a few years ago when his wife had cancer, he simply said "Its time for some nosh" after working hard all day long, meaning that he wanted his din-dins, and the Cazmeister misinterpolated his comment and gave him a gobble instead.

Similarly when an MP walked into his office to find them in a compromising position it was cos Carrie again confused Boris talking about his favourite musical instrument that he had at Eton that had left out in the rain, and said 'I miss my rusty trombone" so she supportively rammed her tongue in his bottom and gave him a reacharound whilst he hit the high notes

It could happen to ANYONE so take a hike you wokerati.

Regards

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say. Not acceptable "especially" for an MP. Worse stories from door greeters. I just don't get what your point is...?
