How do other Gransnetters feel about the appointment of Keith Vaz to the Justice Committee?

Anniebach Mon 14-Nov-16 16:55:10

doesn't make them right or acceptable Iam68, that Corbyn has had three marriages to date I care not about, that he left a wife over the choice of a school is fishy, but could be true

No haven't yet moved, fed up with waiting

Im68Now Mon 14-Nov-16 16:43:38

Stings are a way of life now, its sad but people buy papers for a bit of scandal does not matter how you come across it.

I dislike corbyn because he was married 3 times and us women just can't see what men are like. My OH is rich but I don't know what I would do if He lost it, I'm just to old to think about it no0w.

Have you moved yet

Anniebach Mon 14-Nov-16 16:40:22

True Ana, they are not ilegal, neither is lying or Corbyn would have to stand down for his sitting on the floor of a train lies

Anniebach Mon 14-Nov-16 16:37:08

Perception !

Anniebach Mon 14-Nov-16 16:36:29

No Iam68, if I defended MP's because they were labour why would I critcise Corbyn?

I am no fan of Vaz but I dislike stings and I dislike hypocrisy

Im68Now Mon 14-Nov-16 16:20:15

Anniebach Are you just speaking for him because his a labour man.

durhamjen Mon 14-Nov-16 16:19:10

I still think he would get more kudos and understanding if he stepped down from the justice committee. It is about perception. It's not a witch hunt.

Ana Mon 14-Nov-16 16:17:02

Poppers aren't illegal anyway.

Anniebach Mon 14-Nov-16 16:08:49

The justice committee is concerned with courts not police enquiries , he cannot change laws on drug taking - if he wanted to or on police methods of questioning and or arrests . If he is guilty he will have to resign as an MP, I dislike witch hunts . So many innocent men are having their lives ruined because of allegations which are later proved false

durhamjen Mon 14-Nov-16 13:56:06

No, I haven't found him guilty. I have said the appropriate course of action for him to take in the circumstances would be to step down from the committee, until it's been decided whther he is guilty or innocent.

I'm glad you understand, Welshwife.

Welshwife Mon 14-Nov-16 10:35:54

I have to say. AB that I don't think Jen has done any judging - but maybe that is because I agree that he should stand aside till all is sorted - would seem the honourable thing to do.

Anniebach Mon 14-Nov-16 09:34:24

You have found him guilty Jen,

grannypiper Mon 14-Nov-16 04:45:57

I see the odious little man has been making false travel claims. Is there no end to his deceit ?

Eloethan Sun 13-Nov-16 23:50:19

He must have some very powerful allies.

durhamjen Sun 13-Nov-16 23:47:28

So what about conflict of interest? Even our GPs have to stand down if a meeting is discussing anything they are concerned with.
I would think better of Keith Vaz if he stood down until it was over. Not that he cares.

Anniebach Sun 13-Nov-16 22:09:20

Quite simple, innocent until proven guilty . Too many people have been named and shamed and judged without being charged. Think Clinton and the republican FBI chap.

durhamjen Sun 13-Nov-16 17:09:06

The justice committee is the one that decides the on how the courts work. How can someone who is being investigated by the police not say there is conflict of interest there?

Anniebach Sun 13-Nov-16 12:06:41

Should anyone resign because they are being investigated ? If arrested then yes

durhamjen Sun 13-Nov-16 11:55:19

Keith Vaz is going to be investigated about drugs offences.
Presumably now, he will have to leave the Justice Committee.

In one post you state you cannot condemn Vaz for being bi sexual or homosexual. Nobody has condemned him by the way .

I state nobody cares if Vaz is bi sexual or homosexual, implying that is not the issue.

You now post you don't agree with my comment and go on to further imply we should care. confused

Anniebach Fri 04-Nov-16 18:58:03

I disagree POGS, how many MP's have had affairs or one night stands, how many have been filmed in the act ?

POGS Fri 04-Nov-16 18:33:14

Anniebach

Nobody cares if Vaz is heterosexual, bi sexual or homosexual.

tigger Fri 04-Nov-16 18:30:28

His history in Leicester and elsewhere (which I understand is to be believed) is just a catalogue of disgraceful behaviour.

tigger Fri 04-Nov-16 18:27:30

Not thick skinned, just has no shame.

kittylester Fri 04-Nov-16 16:59:13

Don't condemn him fir either but I do condemn home for being dishonest and there are lots of questions about things in his past which appear to be not quite right!
