Slimey git, crazy number of scandals - he should still be doing time in jail

I liked the old days, when Labour politicians had financial scandals, Tories sexual scandals, and you could count on the leader of the Liberal Party to murder a male prostitute.

You knew where you were.

All the old Hinduja etc stuff aside I rather like the bloke. Sensible and works hard chairing various committees. Who cares what he does in his private life?

If his wife can't trust him not to cheat on her, then what faith can voters have in him?

Dishonesty in his sexual relationships has no more relevance to his ability as a home affairs chairman than one of you lot having an affair does on your IT skills. Don't care what he does with his bits, as long as he does a good job in the commons.

It's relevant to public confidence that he is an honest MP, especially given that he chairs Home Affairs - he is probably security cleared, so having affair on the side is useful for blackmail.

After Hinduja "stuff" he should have ended up in jail for 10-15 years.

Ah! Just read the latest update in the papers.

Keith Vaz to be investigated over 'charity payments' to prostitutes allegations*

That is something very different if true, real dishonesty.

so having affair on the side is useful for blackmail

Good point Hadn't thought of that one.

If he is dishonest in cheating on his wife, then why can't he be dishonest with payments?

Personally I am surprised he did not claim it on expenses.

"Yet again, the smell of scandal was never far away. During the expenses scandal in 2009, the Telegraph disclosed that Mr Vaz had claimed more than £75,500 for a flat in Westminster despite his, then valued, £1.15 million family home being just 12 miles from parliament. He also switched his designated second home — the property on which he claimed expenses — from the £545,000 flat to a house in his Leicester constituency and back again in the space of a year. Although his actions were not illegal, he was asked to pay back a four-figure sum."

Scum of the Earth.

Absolutely no problem with him having sex with any consenting adult its the hiding it that is unpleasant.

If he was like Mandleslime and completely open about it then I would have some respect for him. (I hate him for being a lying cheating bar steward).

You might, but his wife might not.

paying for sex, procuring drugs, betraying your spouse and family, rank hypocrisy, presenting a false identity, conflicts of interest....

And he's royally screwed the taxpayers to boot!
