Private Speech posted:

nah it's just a very dumb thing about him not punishing a Tory MP (named Pincher lmbo) accused of grabbing other (male) politicians butts

then he did it again and Boris lied about knowing about his previous behaviour

all in all it's very mild really, compared to some of his previous top hits

it seems weird that anyone in britain would care about this considering all the other weird nonce poo poo that seems to go on over there

have a wikipedia summary:

wiki posted:

Johnson allegedly referred to Pincher as "handsy" and Dominic Cummings said Johnson joked about him being "Pincher by name, pincher by nature" in 2020. Johnson did not deny this.[48] There are calls for Johnson to explain how much he knew about Pincher's behaviour. Labour MP Jonathan Reynolds said: "I think we've got to acknowledge what the consistent problem is and it is a Conservative party that repeatedly chooses to do what is politically expedient over what is right. It's clear from what we know this morning that Chris Pincher should never have been put back into the whips' office."[49][50]

Ministers initially said that Johnson was unaware of any specific complaints against Pincher when he was appointed as deputy chief whip. Later, Downing Street said Johnson was aware at the time of media reports and allegations that were "either resolved or did not progress to a formal complaint". The BBC then reported, however, that an official complaint and subsequent investigation into Pincher, while he was at the Foreign Office (July 2019 to February 2020), had confirmed his misconduct, and that Johnson had been made aware of the matter at that time.[51] Sir Simon McDonald, former Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, later confirmed that the prime minister had been briefed "in person" about Pincher.[52] McDonald said that in the summer of 2019, a group of officials had "complained to me about Mr Pincher's behaviour. In substance, the allegations were similar to those made about his behaviour at the Carlton Club."[53]

In an interview with BBC's Chris Mason, on 5 July 2022, Johnson admitted appointing Pincher to a government position despite having been told about a misconduct complaint against him. Johnson said he had made a "bad mistake" by not acting on the information. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Sajid Javid resigned minutes later.[48] A number of junior ministers and aides also resigned.[54]

It's the dumbest timeline.

TBH it's exhausting, Boris is like Trump in the sense that he doesn't really think norms & unwritten rules are worth following but also is too much of a career politician to be anywhere near as entertaining as Trump.

And then if he does go they'll just find someone less competent & even more of a free market fundamentalist to take over. And it's still probably 2 year until the next election.

All the other sexual assault scandals are about women or teenagers, Pincher was found guilty of groping adult men and got a promotion for it

Finding out you've got a colleague who likes to sexually assault Tories, then immediately giving them a job that lets them lock the door to Tory offices until the Tory inside will do what you tell them is unacceptably cspam

btw, while we were all distracted by Boris Johnson, trans rights on TERF Island just took another nosedive: https://twitter.com/PinkNews/status/1544635395996061697

TERFs are now allowed to discriminate against trans people in the workplace.
