This deserves its own thread - could the Government sink any lower

If anyone sent me such texts I'd keep them in the hope that I could get them out of a position of power. I'd not block the number.

That's what the women -We don't need to know their employment and describe them as barmaids- in this case did.
Why assume it is just about money?
Is it because they are barmaids?
Their job is the reason for unfair condemnation. IMO

It is about time GN posters stopped sniping at each other and read what the post is about, abuse of women by someone who is elected to represent men and women, truly disgusting. Do not be distracted, read the post, be angry, but not with each other.

Anja. From past experience you know I can do what ?

MaryE you certainly would win the medal for rude replies to other posters.Impatient and dismissive posts as well.Although the comment from you once that you were the most intelligent and well educated person on GN gave me a laugh.

On the subject of MP’s and bad behaviour, there are so many from all sides of the political spectrum it’s a wonder they have time to do any work for their constituents at all.

Don’t blame maryeliza it was I who reported it as libellous and GN agreed. This is a public forum. Had the person who was libelled read it, that could have resulted in action being taken.

Please don’t be so eager to rush to judgement about another poster. I hope you all have the courage to apologise to her.

Annie I know from a past experience that you can do that.

Read you post Day6 nothing offensive

I read your post Day6 couldn't see anything wrong with it. I suppose a certain poster reported it, how sad some people are.

I read your post Day6 and also can't see where it broke the Guidelines.
It seems to me that a certain person, who thinks that their opinions are not to be disagreed with, may have reported you.
Why start a thread if you don't want a discussion or different points of view?

We can call sleazy MPs "would be s" It wasn't what I typed.

My tablet does its own thing...grrr.

I have absolutely no idea why my answer to the OK was deleted. Are we not allowed to call MPs would-be if they behave badly? Are we not allowed to speculate why an MP intends to go through hundreds of text messages?

Anja of course they are still women but they didn't have to reply to him they could have blocked him but they didn't. Don't think I am sticking up for him because I am not.

Keith Vaz, not the same. So many men had to live a secret life if homosexual. Not coming out is not to be compared with verbal abuse and racism surely?

Barmaids are still women in my book.

Totally agree Annie

Sounds like NN thinks these woman were in the wrong somehow.

Verbal abuse of abuse of women and racism ? neither man should be an MP

Also what about Keith Vaz and the male escorts lol.

I am not condoning Andrew Griffiths behaviour its disgraceful but why didn't the 2 barmaids he was texting just block him instead of answering his texts or did they think they could profit from this and have 5 minutes of fame, makes you wonder.

And our country is run by a bunch slobs like this ? Shame on the lot of them if that's all they've got to do with their time.

Jess Phillips received 600 threats of rape,

What has Corbyn to do with abuse of women?

If you were indeed ‘familiar with Jess Phillips’ GG then I suggest you would also have been ‘familiar’ with her work in this area.

And what of Corbyn laying a wreath for terrorists who murdered innocent Olympic athletes. Oh yes , he said he was there but didn’t know if he was involved.

Corbyn who praised an anti semetic wall mural , oh yes, he said he didn’t look closely at it.

Corbyn who was in an anti semetic group on line, oh yes , he said he didn’t read the posts.

maryeliza54 I actually don’t think the Award for Incivility? would go to you!

I’m not sure why the unpleasant reference to Ken Livingstone has got to do with anything other than to try and score party political points totally irrelevantly. I thought the Priti Patel comment about starving the Irish was a new low as well.
