Lord Sewel has been suspended from the Labour Party following allegations that he took drugs with prostitutes. The peer remained a member of the party despite giving up the whip under parliamentary conventions when he became deputy speaker of the Lords. Scotland Yard has been called in to investigate the former minister after The Sun on Sunday published video allegedly showing him snorting cocaine while romping naked with two women. An investigation by the House of Lords' sleaze watchdog that could lead to his expulsion from Parliament is also expected to be launched. A Labour spokesman said: "Lord Sewel has been suspended from the Labour Party." In the meantime he still gets paid £300 per day until it`s sorted. No doubt the establishment will drag it out as long as they can. Years probably. Bastards.
This is the bloke who is responsible for standards in the Lords. Double standards in his case. Absolute disgrace.
What's your philosophy of life? Sex and drugs and rock 'n roll. And if you weren't deputy leader of the Lords? Well, as long as I had the sex and drugs, I could live without the rock 'n roll... (with apols to This Is Spinal Tap)
He might be the next FIFA president ! , and the royal 'nazi' salute scandal, what next, Joe kinear back at Newcastle ?
The worst thing this bloke did wrong was get caught - they're probably all at it man FFS! I reckon that most of the commons and lords lot have all done stuff like this but not been filmed!!
They're all bunch of Charlie sniffing sex fiends. They'll finish their parliament session and get gimped up in a Soho basement while whores ride their backs, tooting on Crack pipes.
Better than honoring that Bastard Cyril Smith's memory. Snorting coke off a hookers back doesn't seem too shocking by today's standards.
What people do in their own time, is their business. As long as he hasn't fiddled expenses to pay for his slags and drugs, he's done nothing wrong in my eyes.
Annoying that while there's cuts hitting so many hard and services struggle that they get a payrise to fund this lifestyle. Otherwise I'd agree with you 100% fella
That's the bit that annoys me and this is where I'm with you 100%. However, I don't see him see him any different for buying cocaine and prostitutes with his pay rise, then the next MP who's spending their pay rise on a new car...
I must be a right boring twat as I don't need skunk, cocaine, heroin, legal highs or anything else to get me through the day or night. Just a few pints of cider every now and then does me <shucks>
I agree to an extent and don't believe that MP's should be cleaner than clean... That just promotes lying about being dirty. That said... Some auld man banging hookers and snorting powder is a little dirtier than I would like to represent me.
