He got off recently over flawed internal procedural technicalities but it would appear that criminal law is not similarly hampered.

Innocent until proven guilty of course.

He finds himself accused of two charges of attempted rape, nine of sexual assault, two of indecent assault and one breach of the peace.

Whoopsy daisy! Quite ironic considering how critical he was of President Trumps alleged misconduct.


It will be very interesting to see how the SNP and, particularly, it's membership will react in the long term.:hmmm:

It was reported on lunchtime news that some EU countries have suggested a more lenient approach to the UK but the EU Commission have flatly rejected the idea.

It's looking like May's Plan will be voted down on Tuesday and it could be a closer vote.

Justice Secretary David Gauke has become the second cabinet minister to suggest Parliament could be given free votes on some Brexit issues.

He told the BBC MPs should be able to vote according to their personal views when the Brexit motion is debated on Tuesday, "to resolve things".https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47012523
One small step in the right direction.

MPs may need to work longer and lose their February half-term break if Brexit is to be delivered on time.

I just finished watching Question Time with Jim's pet laugh Diane Abbott who clearly was out to lunch and her complaints against Fiona Bruce and Question Time holds no water and the BBC rejected her claims.

Troops could return to the border in the event of a botched Brexit, the Irish prime minister has warned.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said a hard border could "involve people in uniform... possibly a police presence, or an army presence to back it up".

An Irish government spokesperson later said Mr Varadkar was not referring to putting Irish troops at the border, insisting there are no plans to do so.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46998533
So what precisely are you saying Taoiseach? :hmmm:

And so to the next disaster warning by the doom and gloom brigade.

^ As the article quite rightly states "National security is a matter of the gravest importance and should not become a political football when it comes to Brexit"

I hear from the radio the army is going to stock pile live ammunition in case of a no deal brexit as mass rioting is expected when the price of goods rocket in price. Now I did hear the army bit on another radio station a few weeks ago but not the new bit.
