Watching GMB this morning. They were talking about the alleged rape by a Tory MP. A guest speaker (can’t remember her name - she is Scottish) said the rape culture in Westminster is increasing (Against women and also young men) as is alcohol and drugs. Don’t even know why I am posting this. But what the fuck is going on in the very place that the people we assume to lead by example (I know, I know) and nothing is being done. Why haven’t any decent MP (assuming there is one!) blown the whistle?
it was just the blase way this guest speaker said it. And that it is getting worse. Even the male guest speaker (can’t remember his name either) agreed with her. Just needed to rant.

When your leader (CEO, Headteacher, whatever) demonstrates very clearly by his actions that the law doesn't apply to him, that's seen as a green light to act however they like to the potential crooks, liars and - especially - sexual predators.

And yet for women and people who believe in biology the alternatives actively undermine reality by believing the Stonewall guff.

This is the worst political landscape I can remember.
