Circularity. It happens to be the law. Misconduct in a Public Office is
a very old common-law criminal offence.

Then it's about time it was repealed or forgotten, like dunking witches in
the village pond.

I've already commented on all the points regarding that particular
topic.

Good for you.

Goodbye!

And the same to you. Now **** off back to where you came from.

You've been made to look

If Johnny has a shag that is his business, and his alone. I bet you peep
into the cars on lovers lanes, don't you? More interested in other people
shagging.

Probably to give Brown the pleasure of sacking him?

The topic of Prescott inevitably came up on

adulterous affair does not in itself justify being sacked. But making
yourself and the office of Deputy Prime Minister a nationwide laughing
stock, should do.

He hasn't made a laughing stock at all. All he did was have a shag, which
is his business. It is Little Middle Englanders who want top know about the

It is not their business if he has a shag.

It is their business if he seduces a subordinate and has sex in his office
during working hours. It is their business if he attracts press attention
that disparages him and the office which he holds.

I think Clinton should have resigned when the Lewinsky story came out, but
perhaps others believe that Clinton was such a brilliant and talented man,
doing such good work for the nation, that it was right to turn a blind eye
to his regular demands for a blowjob from any attractive women who worked in
his office, and his lies under oath when asked about such matters. Clinton,
after all, was in charge of the most powerful nation on earth and could not
have been easily replaced. Prescott could have been replaced by a box of
paperclips or a tub of margarine. It turns out that whatever it was he was
doing, writing memos or fiddling about with the conveyancing rules, could
easily be re-allocated to other cabinet members leaving him with more time
to spend with his Jaguars while he counts the money pouring into his account
from the nation's coffers.

Prescott's only talent was loyalty, unquestioning loyalty to Tony.

Since the police have ruled out any investigation it's safe to assume he

He has no set times of work, at time working way into the night and at
weekends. Tory MPs only devoted 25%, or less, of their time to government as
they were more concerned with running own businesses. They regarded being
an MP as a part time thing. Prescott picked up on Heseltine's lack of
attendance when he was dpm.

So, Johnny can have a shag any time he likes.

It was my understanding (source Newspaper) that the Police ruled it
was an inappropriate use of Police resources. It appears there has
been no investigation. The question is why? It appears when other
civil servants engage in similar practice the Police do investigate,
i.e. it an 'appropriate use of resources'.

From the account of his 'partner' in this, it does appear some of the
activities did in fact take place during 'on duty' time although I
would have thought Cabinet Ministers are always on duty.

That activity is relatively normal between married
couples (!?). The misconduct is in "carrying on"
outside his marriage, whilst he's "in office" as
well as, reportedly, "in the office". That's what
Dribble doesn't agree with.

If he's not "attending to his work while otherwise
occupied", then that could also apply to his other
activities - eating up all those pies, for instance.
