Top Tory lawmaker resigns whip job after ‘drunkenly groping 2 men,' but stays on as lawmaker

[onthedarkside]

 

Another day, another disaster for Boris Johnson. Senior Conservative party lawmaker Chris Pincher resigned Thursday after allegedly getting drunk and groping two men at a private members club in London.

 

“Last night I drank far too much,” Pincher wrote to Johnson in his resignation letter. “I’ve embarrassed myself and other people which is the last thing I want to do and for that I apologise to you and to those concerned.”

 

Pincher relinquished his job as Tory deputy chief whip—a figure responsible for party discipline—but is astonishingly set to stay on as a lawmaker, despite howls of protest from the opposition.

It seems like he has decided on 'by a thousand cuts'.  I wonder if he will take the party to utter ruin in the endeavour.

One can only hope.

The whip has already been withdrawn.

That’s all it boils down to - just more opposition howls and MSM muck raking. 
Not at all important and not even interesting, but they love some anti-Boris tittle tattle.

You are right on point. The Tories are loving this diversion from REAL issues coming such as War, Food shortages, Energy crises and possible  social unrest. <deleted> party gate, they are loving the distraction from real events like BREXIT causing problems and the looming economic DEPRESSION.

Muck can’t be raked unless there is muck to be raked.

 

Another day another pile of Tory muck exposed.

Lots of gleeful raking by Labour and MSM but it's not even real muck. Nothing important at all.

 

They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. In this particular case that's probably closer to the issue than just a figure of speech.

Maybe that's true. How did a private letter to Boris make it into the press so quickly? Whereas it took them a couple of years to rake up lefty hysteria about a few drinks.
Pity the left and MSM cannot come up with any actual opposition and proposals about the big issues.

Not really by the sound of it. Can't have been two real men or they would have sorted it themselves.

Nonsense.
 

Sexual assault is a criminal act no matter where it occurs.

Oh so woke, sounds like a big girls’ quote. 
 

A man would simply give a ‘punch up the froat’ without making a sexual assault of it.

No, a sexual assault is being accurately reported upon and the accused, who has admitted carrying out the assault, is being held to account.

No, a hysterical witch-hunt is being orchestrated over a non-event, in another attempt to oust the PM.

Doubt it. 
 

Just hope the predatory individual who carried out these sexual assaults faces the full consequences of his criminal actions.

I did. Early on in this thread, because that it all it is about.

If the left and MSM were not intent on ousting Boris this non-story would never have seen the light of day. It is simply not important enough to make the inner pages of a local free paper. It wouldn't have attracted even an interview by the police who have real sexual assaults to deal with.

This thread is about a sexual predator who has carried out a number of sexual assaults. More of which are being revealed. 
 

As far as I’m concerned it is about that predator and no one else.
