UK - just days ago, MP Carl Sargeant committed suicide after accusations of sexual harassment and then being sacked as Wlesh minister and suspended by Labour. Now angry politicians want the death to mark an end to a witch-hunt sparked by a sex scandal that has rocked Parliament to its core.
Now, y'see, ushering a woman through a door with your hand on her upper back is seen by many as 'inappropriate' and by some as assault - even though intended just as gentlemanly good manners: ladies first.
Tell a woman her dress suits her and you could be in deep dwang, ditto tell a risque joke.
So was Sargeant guilty? Who knows: it seems that without even knowing the nature of the alleged offences (he ‘begged party chiefs to tell him sex pest allegations’ before killing himself) he was tried, found guilty, hung, drawn and quartered.
Butchered.
So he killed himself... what chance of a fair hearing?
So, who's next to simply give up a rigged fight?
How many more claims of 'assault' years ago?
