Are accusation about Fallon and Green there to distract from more serious issues?

 I wonder if there's not a plan among the Tories to damp down the growing sexual harassment scandal by providing snippets which some may think is just a case f men trying it n

Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon was once rebuked by a journalist for putting his hand on her knee during dinner, his spokesman has confirmed.

Radio presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer had recounted the "mildly amusing" incident without naming Sir Michael.
After his identity was revealed in the Sun, she tweeted saying she had not been "remotely upset or distressed".
A spokesman for Sir Michael said he had apologised when it happened in 2002.
Ms Hartley-Brewer, a former political editor of the Sunday Express and regular political commentator, has criticised "wild rumours and claims" circulating at Westminster.
She said she did not consider herself a victim after the incident which happened over dinner at the Conservative Party conference.

Now we have Prime minister Theresa May's deputy, Damian Green, is to be investigated following an allegation of inappropriate behaviour.

Activist Kate Maltby wrote in The Times that he "fleetingly" touched her knee in a pub in 2015, and this year sent her a "suggestive" text message after she posed in a corset for the paper.
The Cabinet Secretary is to consider whether he broke the ministerial code.
Mr Green has described the claims as "absolutely and completely untrue".
Ms Maltby, a writer and academic some 30 years younger than Mr Green, said the encounters left her feeling "awkward, embarrassed and professionally compromised". 

Could it be that there is a ruse to get the public( indeed from Women as well as Men) thinking well 

"Come on who hasn't tried it on"  in this way . 

But such behaviour hides  what could be some serious  sexual attacks by MPs and whilst  we should beware  of a Witch Hunt we should expose the most serious cases.

What we should not be doing is being distracted  by the above claims (even if they were unwelcome) and putting it down to as I say "trying it on".

As thee Blogger AAV puts it  




but he also points to a sinister purpose of the origins of the document he writes

I've seen an uncensored copy of the Tory sex pest dossier and it's an absolute mess. The big problem with it is that it's not actually a list of MPs accused or suspected of sexual misconduct, it's more like a list of sex-related issues that could be used to blackmail MPs into silence or conformity.
Thus the list combines details of absolutely outrageous sexual misconduct, alongside stuff like extramarital affairs, consensual relationships, and the unusual private sexual proclivities of certain MPs (all ideal blackmail material).

The suspicion is that  the Tory whips have used the dossier to make there are no rebellions from those who are  "on the list".

How many serious cases have been known by the Tories (and it does not just apply to them) have been ignored because it gives power to the Whips and the leadership or the argument that it would "harm the party"?


Someone once said that they didn't care what Bill Clinton did in the Bedroom so long as he didn't try and tell us what we should do.

The problem is when a Politician use their power to sexual harass those beneath them.
