To be honest, when I heard that Vaz was in trouble, I assumed it was going to be financial. He has been implicated in some extremely dodgy dealing - not just the expenses scandal, which exposed the greed and duplicity of many MPs, but also the business of the Hinduja brothers and also another billionaire, whose name I can't remember...A bit too keen on taking the money in return for using his influence, it would seem, but somehow he has always managed to get away with it. I'm from Leicester and I think he is generally regarded here as a bit sleazy but, of course, he seems to have managed to get out of trouble that would bring down a lesser wheeler dealer. Whether he manages it this time remains to be seen.
As for the current scandal, I couldn't care less whether he is gay, bi-sexual or whatever. I do question his judgement, though, in doing something so likely to lead to exposure or blackmail, particularly when there are drugs involved as well as sex. Employing sex workers, whether male or female, is morally questionable if you consider it from the viewpoint of the worker. Of course they want to earn a living - but are you exploiting another person's vulnerability for your own gratification? Again, it suggests, at the very least, some very poor judgement.
Somehow, I expect old Keith will manage to survive this scandal, like all the others he's been associated with in the past. How it will affect the more traditionally-minded Asian voters in his constituency is another matter.
