...rapist MP who is raping and assaulting them at work? Rather than hiding his crimes, paying his his salary, allowing him a voice in the governance of the UK and paying for hospital treatment of his victims.

Tory Party covered up for 'serial rapist' MP, top official claims

EXCLUSIVE: Jake Berry (pictured) sent a bombshell letter to police in which he revealed that a number of allegations about the MP had been made known - but limited action had been taken.

I'm proposing nothing. I'm stating that rape has become decriminalised under the Tories. Rape victims are so unlikely to see justice, that rapists can rape with impunity, knowing they'll walk free.

Just like Tory MPs in government can sexually assault and rape with impunity. Indeed, they might get a fucking promotion.Angry

I was just wondering how the TDL would try and derail / deflect this thread and, right on que, Veni popped up with an example.

Wonder if the rest if them will appear tomorrow and follow similar tactics or try a different angle?

Well, please present your proof.

I made a list of known Tory MP sex offenders on the previous page @VeniVidiWeeWee.

It might have been quicker to list the Tory MPs who are not sex offenders

The Commisioner, Dame Vera Baird said:
I made headlines by saying that we were witnessing the effective decriminalisation of rape. During my subsequent years in post as Victims’ Commissioner, little has swayed me from that perspective.
Despite a long-delayed end-to-end rape review, various governmental action plans and plenty of tinkering round the edges, you can’t escape the numbers; they continue to speak for themselves.

The distressing truth is that if you are raped in Britain today, your chances of seeing justice are slim - Victims Commissioner

A personal account

A Member of Parliament I went to for help, after being raped, has turned out to be an alleged serial rapist.

It is utterly incomprehensible. I cannot stop shaking.

Generally there needs to be much better investigations done around sexual assault.

BinkyBeaufort · 06/11/2023 12:37

And I seem to remember that not so long ago the MP who pinched a MAN's bum was sacked. Just sayin' ...

That would be Chris Pincher (ironically, I know)

But let's not down play what he did by saying he "pinched a man's bum" - he groped and sexually assaulted men.

But what's you point?
Tories sexually assault men as well as women, so, don't forget men can be sexually assaulted to?

OK. Fully agree.
For the sake of clarity: Tory culture is dangerous and toxic to women and men.

Oh, actually, if we really want to get into it, Imran Ahmed Khan was convicted and jailed for sexually abusing a child.

We can change it to: Tory culture is dangerous and toxic to women and men and children.

Is this someone in addition to the other ones already suspended ? So many disgusting, dangerous men in politics.

In every walk of life.

More so in politics. There are 426 male MPs, look how many of them are sexual predators.

There's only one walk of life that makes laws and policy decisions that impact the whole nation.

Tory culture is toxic to those in close proximity to and to the UK as a whole. A fish rots from the head.

No, my point, which I didn't make clear, is that a man being sexually assaulted is dealt with. Women are expected to just shut up and either ignore it or leave the proper jobs to the big, important men. Which perhaps is the purpose of their behaviour, as well as their sense of entitlement and impunity.

In most walks of life people accused of raping co-workers are suspended. I can think of very few where the victim's hospital costs would be paid and the perpetrator kept in office. But its all grand if you're a Tory MP.

This is the party that refused to make misogyny Hate Speech.
This is the party whose RHon member blocked making Upskirting illegal.
This is the party who fretted about the effect of Lockdown on sports fixtures and gave no thought to those at risk of abuse
Or the elderly.
Or pregnant women.
Or the mentally ill.
This is the party that partied while the bereaved grieved alone.
This is the party that ceded our rights to Transfolk.

Misogyny and rape culture permeate this Tory government. They disgust me.Angry

One of the rape victims, Becky Paton, said she was told to "Get over it" by the Tory Chief Whip.

The Tory party has no morality, no empathy and no intelligence. They are a disgusting stain on our country, our rights and our democracy!Angry

They know what a woman is though so it’s all good.
