In today’s TCW, four of our writers react to the latest bout of Parliamentary sleaze stories.
‘HALF our MPs will be women, pledge Tories after Neil Parish porn scandal’ ran the Sunday Telegraph front page headline yesterday.
For the unenlightened, it’s high time you caught up. Men are by definition toxic. Indeed the Attorney General defines some of them as ‘animals’.
Hence this latest ridiculous knee-jerk response by the Conservative Party which illustrates, yet again, that it has taken leave of its senses, and worse, is now mounting a full-scale Black Lives Matter-style assault on men.
A rather idiotic MP no one has ever heard of (with a majority of 24,000) is caught in the Commons watching porn. He has resigned but the forces of woke and vengeance – now the dominant forces driving the Conservative party, it seems – think this incident warrants a cull of dozens of male MPs by virtue of their sex. As if the ones we have already – presumably appointed on merit not on chromosome count – aren’t bad enough! As though the female sex is by definition pure, and female MPs are morally superior. (Whatever happened to equality by the way?) I suspect a little MSM digging would demonstrate they are not – that there are some who sleep around, break marriages, fiddle expenses and second homes, get drunk and so on, just like some of their male counterparts.
The irony of this proposed party cull is that it neither targets nor is driven by the total collapse of standards in both the private lives and the public office of the cheats and liars running the country, who are still getting away with it. Doesn’t the adage ‘the rot starts from the top’ apply?
