Westminster Sexual Allegations
Quote:
Labour MP Jared O'Mara has quit the Commons equality committee over online homophobic comments he made before being elected to Parliament.
Mr O'Mara also made sexist remarks, joked about having an orgy with members of Girls Aloud and posted degrading comments about fat people.
The Sheffield Hallam MP, 36, was elected in June, unseating ex-deputy prime minister Nick Clegg.
Mr O'Mara resigned from the Women and Equalities Committee after apologising.

Lib Dem peer Lord Scriven, the former leader of Sheffield Council, said: "It seems like a nasty pattern of sexist language and misogyny is developing from the Labour MP for Sheffield Hallam.

Sounds like a thoroughly nice, tolerant guy to me...

Re: Labour MP's homophobic & sexist remarks
Right, because no one else ever made jokes about having an orgy with Girls Aloud, or any other female pop star.
Once again the lack of tolerence seems to be with those criticising him.

This guy didn't just make one comment though. There is a whole pattern of this behaviour. Even before this story there have been reports about how he's behaved towards women in his club as well.

Can we have an 'orgy with Girls Aloud' club as CF please? I'm sure it would attract more members (ooer missus) than your anti-cycling club .

Re: Labour MP's homophobic & sexist remarks
Oh dear. And, this is why you vet your candidates extremely thoroughly.
Still if he really is shady he should fit right in with Sheffield Council.

Labour had started an investigation. He is on thin ice certainly

He was stupid to leave them up though, you'd think that he would have deleted them or used his right to get historical posts removed.

Delete them to pretend they never existed?
I'm surprised you're advocating that alongside almost sngle handedly preaching in another thread about a clampdown on internet abuse.......

Re: Labour MP's homophobic & sexist remarks
You'd think that he'd have the sense to sanitise his past when he decided to become an MP as (rightly or wrongly) they are expected to be whiter than white by the public.
There would be nothing wrong in an internet troll seeing the error of their ways and trying to minimise any upset caused by getting the remarks deleted, but I do have some sympathy with what you say as in if people choose to publish inappropriate things on the internet and it comes back to bite them on the bum in later life, then it's their own fault for doing it.
