  1. the whole thing is so weird. I’m not even sure i would agree on the merits of that claim from him. So many questions, in the end your brain just shuts down. Can’t compute.

  2. Having had my wife’s 16 year-old niece visit last year I can confirm at least one of them smells like 16 different perfumes at once, and glitter… oh so much glitter… the horror!

  4. If a news report stated that 5 conservative MP’s had been found guilty of animal molestation, slave trafficking and having personal connections to Mexican cartels I would not be shocked these days.

  6. “…which is unbelievably magnetic”. Let’s not leave that part out.

    Really, it’s the police who should be investigating this, not just his employer. Saying something like that so publicly and without shame and about girls so young ought to set every alarm bell ringing.

  8. This all feels like a South Park sketch. The quote makes me physically retch. It sounds like a quote from a prolific serial killer trying to illicit sympathy by getting the officer to understand why he does it.

  10. My question is,

    Will the Tories be investing the candidate… or will they be investigating whether 16 years old girls have a buttery smell?

    Given the number of cases being investigated against party members – this really needs to be clarified.

  12. I should thank him really; I never really understood the expression “it made my skin crawl” before, but I do now!

  23. In prison, he would be one of the cellmates branded as Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise for risk of getting the shit kicked out of him.

  27. Technically it isn’t a crime but if somebody else said he said it then there would be thousands won in a defamation suit lol

  31. Creamy buttery smell, no 16yr old has a creamy buttery smell maybe a musky over perfumed smell at least thats what i remember when i was 16 and at school with the boys been nothing but lynx africa and i bet its the same now but a different lynx.

  34. Bet they wish he’d just kept it to himself so they could continue to ignore this behaviour. Damn him for saying it in public.

  35. This is the level of arrogance the Torys have for the country. Guy as much as said, “I like little girls, the younger the better.” and clearly feels that he will face no consequences. There should at least be questions asked of him and the people around him.

  36. “We’re launching an investigation” is the standard fob-off response. It’s quite clever and manipulative because it:

    1. Implies the party had no knowledge of the wrongdoing. Needing to investigate something means it wasn’t in your awareness. So their first action is to subtly try and wash their hands of it
    2. Makes it seem like they’re taking it very seriously, without any assurances of what the investigation will be like or what they’ll do about it
    3. Makes it clear no action will be taken today. We must wait a long, indeterminate amount of time for due process in this very serious investigation.

    What is there to investigate? The tweet is there for all to see. It’s not a criminal matter as no laws were broken. It’s deeply creepy with a clear paedophilic subtext, very inappropriate behaviour for a public figure or a middle-aged professional in the community. The real choices are to disavow him from the party today, or accept him and his behaviour.

    The “launching an investigation” line is just designed to dodge any sort of action until the public forgets and they can just move on without the inconvenience of having to do anything about it.

  37. At this point the Tories and Labour should just switch colours because the entire conservative party is just one big red flag.

  38. Man doesn’t know what Shea Butter is. Probably rolls in his own bullshit, like a dog, to attain his desired scent.

  40. Wasn’t there a vote years ago about investigating a pedophillia scandal in parliment and all Tory MPs voted NO to the investigation whilst all other parties/members voted mostly YES and a few abstains?

    Not surprised by this at all. If they’re happy to say stuff like this publicly, the horrors of what they say behind closed doors must be revolting.

  44. personal moral outrage aside, there;s nothing in this tweet that’s illegal

    does he sound like he spent time in the next cell to Hannibal lecter? YES

    if you heard this being said at a family gathering,house party, wedding etc would you be justified in asking him to fuck off and never come back? YES

    has he committed career suicide? ABSOLUTLEY!
