If what he had allegedly done is so bad that he had to resign from Govt, why didn't he step down as MP too?

Surely Govt minister is not more honourable than Honourable Gentleman MP???

I’m too dirty to be a minister but just dirty enough to be an MP, says Fallon

I have to read your blog after that. Sorreeee.

You are a tw@t, aren’t you?

I guess people in power are beginning to realise that less powerful people are not prepared to put up with this crap any longer.

They will be called out on ‘ungentlemanly’ behaviour, be they men or women.

Indeed however not being a gentleman is not a crime.

It's important to keep this in perspective though.

It is a failing which should exclude you from the cabinet. If you are going to judge others you need to be judged.

hmm hardly gentlemanly contact forcing yourself on someone half your age.

Apparently he was a beast.

He had the audacity to try and kiss a lady.

Outrageous

First Fallon, now Hopkins.

I'll bet there's more than a few MP's and senior party officials who are dreading any knocks on the door atm.

It's still nothing like the Russian parliament....

What was the name of his labrador?

We all make allowances for the fact that you're a graceless fool, but STFU.

Most of these serial touchers do it as they think they can get away with it.

When a bloke started do it to me in the plane while I was flying back from a contract.

I simply turned and said that there wasn’t much room in these seats, were there? In a slightly menacing way.

He looked mortified and stopped immediately.

Talking about underage boys, it's a shame Kevin Spacey seems to have blotted his copy book.

He's a good actor, but if the claims (from decades ago, as usual!) are substantiated or believed, it seems unlikely he'll be in any more major films now.

He is a fine actor however his unpleasant behaviour which seems to have continued for years ,there are plenty of recent accusations, was obviously well known, the fact Netflix dumped him (and tens of millions of dollars) suggests there is more & worse to come.

Things have changed, when I was an apprentice I could smoke at my desk, pop to the pub for a number of beers at lunchtime, swear in the office and make lewd observations about females with my male colleagues.

This has all changed luckily and now all of them rightly would get you in trouble at work.

However unwanted touching and making people feel uncomfortable was never acceptable even 30 years ago where good managers were in charge.

Yes we tried to sleep with our colleagues and some of us succeeded but it was respectful.

I would expect to be arrested if I popped my chap out in front of a person I didn't know as Spacey seems to have done. Fondling boobs or bums without permission would also be considered much too far in a work setting.

No the new in thing is a fist bump.

Means you pass and recieve less germs from the person you are greeting especially as some people have issues washing their hands.

When I meet sasguru I intend to fist bump him. In the face.....
