how pathetic is it that a code of conduct has to be drawn up for allegedly intelligent adults - this is all so ridiculous |

Ann, as other workers have to abide by a code of conduct - you would have thought those who should be setting an example to us plebs were following it first!! :-| |

If you have ever read any of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy or seen it on TV then you have a fairly good idea of our parliament including all of the dysfunctional caste of characters. The whole place exerts its malevolant spell on peers and MPs whatever their original honourable intentions. Instead of wasting £4 bn on a revamp ( which will go over budget and be delivered late, if ever) a better bet would be a new site without the wraiths that people can get to. Nottingham or Leicester for instance. |

Yes, I've read the Gormenghast trilogy - can't see how it equates to Parliament though - too much openness and truth going on in Gormenhghast. |

Politicians have an occupational hazard in that they alone believe they are indispensable. They seem to have a pathological unwillingness to admit to making a mistake, let alone to committing a crime of any sort. |

A code of conduct wouldn't have helped the abused children during past decades! |

The only parliamentary code should be that if women get touched or harassed and they don't like it .Should be a smack in the gob for the offenders. |

Well thats the only thing that would put the perpertrators off of doing it to anyone else. |

Or maybe a kick somewhere...bringing tears to their eyes. |

Women have to be seen to be looking after themselves while at work. and a quick smack in the gob will certainly put men off trying sexual harassment and once word gets round that women are sticking up for themselves then all the sexual harassment should stop. |

Well I was joking but a few tears rather than a couple of bruises..... |

Sue In Yorkshire. | Report | 8 Feb 2018 22:51 |
But a kick where you said would leave bruises maybe not seen but still felt and a woman would only do that as a last resort. and I mean back in the 50/60's. |
