Since nothing is too much on the nose for the current Conservative party, the introduction to Chris Pincher’s latest column of drinks featured Uncle Monty of Withnail and Me. long before he seemed to admit that on Wednesday night he palpated two younger men drunk. I wonder what Uncle Chris was saying as he chased them around the Carlton Club? “I want to have you, even if it has to be a robbery!”
In fact, the dialogue is likely to have been less iconic than any of the quotable quotes in this film. The last time Pincher resigned for alleged sexual misconduct, of course there was one last time, he was accused of luring an old Olympic rower into his home before reappearing with a bathrobe, massaging his neck. victim and taking off his shirt as he whispered, “You’re going to get far in the Conservative Party.” Tell him Harvey Winetime.
Speaking of going very far in the Conservative party, however, it was AFTER that incident that Pincher was elevated to the position of whip deputy director, and the whip office was naturally the place where you were supposed to go. with your concerns about sexual misconduct on the part of Deputies and so on. All this rather raises the question: who whips the whips? Unclear. A sadist in Battersea, you guessed it. But if he or she is out for a week, I don’t think it’s too hard to find vacation coverage. Just walk down any British street and ask who likes to let out a little of their frustration with how they are governed.
Still, it’s great to see how the government becomes the Netflix of sex scandals. Forgive me for resorting to your most clumsy favorite metaphors, but you have to admit that the Johnson administration is an inflated monster, deeply overrated and built on a huge debt to the public that will eventually have to be collected.
For now, let’s take a look at the resignation letter sent to the Prime Minister by Pincher, which inevitably, though somehow still incredibly, seems to have long been called Ass Pincher. This letter to the Prime Minister is a state-of-the-art minimization. “I’ve embarrassed myself and other people” is surely the easiest way to say, “I’m supposed to sexually assault two people.” It is the Living, River, Love of predatory behavior.
As is the way it was, it wasn’t long before Pincher’s allies reported that Tamworth’s deputy was “vulnerable”. It was reported that this line was also pronounced at this morning’s Downing Street meeting, and communications director Guto Harri told staff to “think about how you feel today”. Right. Maybe the guys he allegedly sexually assaulted that night were also vulnerable? Maybe they are now? Why weren’t Downing Street staff encouraged to think first about how they feel?
Probably because Pincher was a key part of Operation Save Big Dog, pivotal in the shadow-whipping operation that brought Conservative MPs back to Johnson’s side as Partygate’s revelations piled up. The prime minister was aware of the “problems” with Pincher in February, when he tried to promote him as a reward for all this. However, Johnson advanced anyway. Politico has revealed this morning claims that Pincher had been assigned a “conservative” to make sure he left events “without drinking too much and getting into trouble.” Where was the vigilante Wednesday night? Or maybe he felt the watchman? I mean, anything seems possible.
What we can say for sure is that Pincher and those who appointed him are not the only ones in positions of power who strive hard to get it all out. As soon as the resignation letter had fallen, the Prime Minister’s winged lakes were out there explaining why it was okay for Pincher not to pull the whip. Many doubt that non-punishment will last longer than the time it takes me to write this paragraph, let alone until lunch time. But still, it is crucial to understand the situation. Always listen to this first thoughtful reaction, because it tells you exactly what they really think and, by extension, why situations like this continue to happen. As a conservative source explained immediately after Pincher’s revelations last night: “The prime minister believes he has done the decent thing with his resignation. There is no need to investigate or suspend the whip.”
Oh, I see, Boris Johnson thinks he’s done the decent thing. Well, that’s really the hallmark. Where are the others condemned for breaking their own laws on this moral issue? What about other people trying to snatch £ 150,000 from tree houses for young children from their donors? Other people who are reported to have been caught in a “compromised situation” in their office with a minor colleague? Tell me what they think, because I just need to know! I don’t think I’ll be able to fully represent it on the decency chart until I’ve heard all the other chiseled sexual incontinents recognizing the word victim just as a term that applies to it.
While you wait for this, listen to Welsh Secretary Simon Hart, the new goatherd in charge of the government, who appears to be sent once a week to do the cleaning work after the latest scandal. Simon was on the morning show today, where he explained about the Pincher horror program: “It’s not the first time, and I’m afraid it won’t be the last. This happens in the workplace from time to time … “
To which the only sensible answer is: WHAAAAAAAAT?!?! Can you imagine if, in the last three months alone, five senior BBC officials have been charged with serious sexual conduct? Can you imagine what people like Simon would say about the BBC? Or think about your own workplace. Can you imagine if five high-ranking officials there had been involved in major sex scandals since April? We are just in July!
Hart’s sentence is reminiscent of Wakefield’s recent Conservative candidate (a vacant seat when the last MP was convicted of sexually assaulting a child). This guy continued the news with the most overwhelming version of the “bad apple” dam you probably hear, explaining that the public should still trust Conservative MPs because Harold Shipman didn’t stop them from trusting the doctors of header.
I’m sorry to take out this mind-boggling statistic again, but it is reported that 56 current MPs are facing allegations of sexual misconduct. Assuming the vast majority of them will be men, that’s about one in eight male deputies. Labor and other MPs will be among them, you can be sure of that, although for a repulsive execution, no one can currently touch the Conservatives. However, everything goes. Westminster is a rotten and backward workplace, and nothing seriously significant is done about it because people in power actively don’t want to do anything about it and in many cases are involved in the same abuses. What do they like to say so much? Ah, yes: “We work for you.” In this case, please consider stopping before more people get hurt.
