>The Conservative MP Peter Bone repeatedly hit and verbally abused a member of his staff, often asked him for massages and on one occasion put his bare genitals in the other man’s face, according to a damning report by a Commons regulator.
What is wrong with these people?
Not at all surprising really. He never came across as anything other than a really vile man. I hope the victims of his appalling actions are well supported and those who have protected him for so long face justice themselves.
Don’t think the article does the situation justice. From the report itself:
>Allegation 1 – The respondent verbally belittled, ridiculed, abused and humiliated the complainant. A finding of bullying was upheld.
>For example, on 10 December 2012 the respondent, having sworn and shouted at the complainant (see 1.2 below), called him ‘sensitive, you’re a strange chap’, and later said sarcastically ‘Do you want a hug?’ and then asked a colleague to give him a hug because ‘he’s feeling sensitive’.
>For example, on 10 October 2012, according to the complainant’s contemporaneous log of events, the respondent ‘swore and shouted in front of new intern 1st day’. On 20 November 2012, according to the log, the respondent ‘got incredibly angry, aggressively shouting and swearing at me, over remittances not being sent for his expenses. This again took place in the Westminster office.’
>On 16 October 2012, the log states, ‘repeatedly told to “shut up” in front of staff’. On 20 November, ‘shut up! Is that clear enough’.
>On 11 December 2012 the respondent hugged the complainant and said, ‘You’re going to wish you never said that to me’. The complainant had attempted to raise the respondent’s abusive behaviour the day before (see 1.1 above).
>Allegation 2 – The respondent repeatedly physically struck and threw things at the complainant, with examples on five specific dates in October 2012 and on 14 January 2013, the day the complainant resigned from the respondent’s office. A finding of bullying was upheld.
>For example, on 14 January 2013, the respondent struck the complainant across the back of the head and said, ‘because you’re having a thick day and I thought that would help’. The respondent would tell colleagues that the complainant is ‘having a thick day, we should hit him’. Some hits were hard, some just taps.
>The respondent also repeatedly threw things at the complainant, including pens, pencils and office equipment.
>Allegation 3 – The respondent imposed an unwanted and humiliating ritual on the complainant (and others), with three specific dates in October and November 2012 as examples. The respondent imposed upon his staff, including the complainant, a ritual which the respondent called ‘hands on laps’. When not satisfied with the complainant’s work, particularly on expenses, he would forcibly make him or require him to put his hands on his lap, sometimes hitting his hands. For example, on 2 October 2012, the complainant recorded in his log that the respondent ‘physically took my hands and put them in my lap repeatedly when he got frustrated while working on his expenses in his office in Westminster’. The complainant’s log for 21 November 2012 reads, ‘Don’t think. Hands on lap’. A finding of bullying was upheld.
>Allegation 4 – The respondent exposed the complainant to bullying (4.2) and sexual misconduct (4.3) in the following ways. This allegation was not upheld. The complainant has not appealed this finding.
>On 17-19 January 2013, the complainant was required to join the respondent on a trip to Madrid, as part of the respondent’s role as co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Human Trafficking. The respondent booked a twin room for both of them, tried to keep the beds together, and on one occasion in the bathroom exposed his genitals close to the complainant’s face. Findings of bullying and, in respect of Allegation 4.3, sexual misconduct were upheld.
>Allegation 5 – The respondent ostracised the complainant during the week beginning 21 January 2013. Following the trip to Madrid, and while the complainant was serving out his notice, the respondent ignored the complainant, refused to speak to him and ignored any work carried out by him. A finding of bullying was upheld.

Not that I want to see anyone abused, but I’m so happy to see this cunt getting what’s coming to him.
He’s my MP and he is and has always been a dick
Is he the one thats been on Jeremy Vine recently?
Always wears an Ill Fitting suit and talks utter shit.
Why didn’t the guy just get up and headbut the old fukwuk I would have if he stuck his winkle anywhere near my face!
Ok, seriously, is anyone, absolutely anyone, in any way surprised now?
If you are, you must have been living in a bunker during the current Mafia ‘s reign, until today…
They are our representatives, though. I mean, have you seen us lately? Positively feral
This is hardly news, all Tory scum have been attacking and abusing everyone in the Uk for the past decade.
Who would have thought that the guy who filibustered the upskirting bill would turn out to be a violent sexual predator.
