Boak

On Saturday a post on the Twitter account of Jonty Campbell, who has stood for the party in Preston on a number of occasions, said: “Here’s the thing with girls 22 or under, they smell massively different to a girl of 28. Girls aged 16 to, say 23, have this buttery, creamy, slightly sweet smell that is unbelievably magnetic.”

In what fecking universe do you live where you not only THINK this but are happy to broadcast this on Twitter?

Oh my god.

The scary thing with men like this is that this is the stuff they say in public.

Imagine what they say in private.

And what they think in secret.

Christ.
It sounds like a creepy horrid lyric from a 1950s pop record by a creepy 60 year old.

I weep for our sex. I really do. The degradation we endure at the hands of many many men...

'you're 16, you smell beautiful, and you're miiiiiiiiine'

I wasn't sure what this was a reference too, so I googled..

I found the song.. and the fact Ringo Starr recorded a version..

The first lyrics..

You come on like a dream
Peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine (ooh, mine all mine)

Put it down to different era and all that, but fucking hell, shows how common these child obsessed attitudes from grow men were / are / have forever been.

Thanks Errol for correcting. Not an MP - apologies for not reading properly before posting.

Says something about the current wave of revelations on MP behaviours that it was entirely plausible to me that this man was an MP!

WRONG UN

And stupid as well. People don't smell different at different stages of their life. They smell different when they have access to funds to buy more expensive skincare products and do their own laundry. Try sniffing a 17 year old first year student away from home for the first time, she wont smell quite so buttery now her parents aren't doing her washing and making her shower regularly. Idiot.

The age very conveniently stopped at 16. The buttery smell must kick in right on time, definitely any younger. How convince the that's it's the exact age of consent in the UK

Where to even begin!

The use of girls for grown up women.
The smelling of girls and women
The description as something tasty and edible
And describing the smell of 16 year old girls as magnetic

and somehow finding this the exact thing he needed to post on twitter!!!

as an elected MP!!!

This 100%, I'm speechless!

And the tories apparently stand for women's rights according to some here.

This is Jonty Campbell, Tory council candidate's take on it

“Here’s the thing with girls 22 or under, they smell massively different to a girl of 28. Girls aged 16 to, say 23, have this buttery, creamy, slightly sweet smell that is unbelievably magnetic.”

The tweet from @CmdrJonty was originally sent in reply to an account that had tweeted about a man leaving his partner for a 22-year-old Ukrainian refugee.

I saw that and felt like having a shower in Dettol afterwards. So many fucking sex creeps in the Tory ranks.

Don't google labour MPs and sexual offences then. There are as many there it seems. Lib Dems aren't free of them either!

Seems it is politics rather than a particular party that is the common demominator - that and being male, of course!

I wanted to post it on the thread discussing the man leaving his wife for a 22 year old Ukrainian refugee. Its grim, this wannabe politician isn't the only one. on facebook, lots of men were saying 'cheers mate, what an upgrade'.

Like women were cars and houses.

What a fucking pervert. If he likes that smell so much maybe he should change careers and be a dairy farmer or make ice cream but ffs leave women alone 🤢

It's not just politicians, of course. The '#metoo' perpetrators were from many sectors. Positions of power and control?

Ah yes! Broadening it out from the specific situation here, it is all about power and control!

Twitter does seem to be a good platform to allow people to reveal their true colours even when I'd have thought professionals like this would have more sense to becareful about what they make public.

It's gross & creepy, yet another excuse why men can't help themselves chasing young females as their smell is magnetic.

The context of the chap running off with the younger refugee makes it worse tbh, I read article where the wife was blaming the woman stealing her chap but seemed to me he likely instigated the home offer with that hope in mind.
