Thinking about this football winners kiss .

He showed by his subsequent actions how unsuitable he was for the post he held, not the kiss. All he needed to do was to make a simple apology to the woman, and the situation would not have escalated.
How is his mother's hunger strike coming along?

I don't think this man should have to resign .he is Spanish it's just their way ,I had a Spanish friend and she would hug anyone with out a thought.
I think he was just so pleased for them he did it on the spur of the moment,it wasn't sexual.i think all this fuss in he circumstances is ridiculous ,all gone too far

I’d be the last person to make excuses for lecherous behaviour or sexual harassment, but this amused me.

I must admit though that I was shocked at all the furore about it….. He looked genuinely overwhelmed with the win and the kiss was in the heat of the moment…..

It was a daily? Occurrence back then wasn’t it…..and no one took a blind bit of notice. A lot of men I knew back in the 70s would be on the sex register now or even locked up if things had been different.

I remember complaining about a director who put his arm round me with his hand on my breast. I moved away quickly but when I told my immediate superior, she told me it was "just his way". This sort of behaviour was so common in the 70's, particularly by men with power and authority. Seems not a lot has changed.

Oh yes. I have my hand out for a handshake as soon as anyone looks like they're moving in for a kiss. Family excepted of course.

Scottish New Year is letch central, l always follow the male perogative and shake hands and quickly step away. Those that dare dive in for a kiss find themselves air kissing into space.
