Whatever "it" is.

Keith Vaz police investigation closed

I was really hoping to see him walk the plank. Horrible little man.

I wonder what would happen if a non MP had done that.

Don't like him much either but he didn't seem to have done too much in a criminal sense apart from threaten to buy cocaine for personal use.

No actually he offered to supply which is most definitely an offence.

According to the newspaper, the MP indicated to one of the men that he would pay for cocaine, although he said he would not use the drug himself.

whatever your view on the moral issues surrounding his proclivities, he has shown poor judgement and for somebody in a position of power to show such poor judgement is something that should preclude that individual from holding that office.

He knew damn well that, no matter how @liberal@ our society is supposed to be, the gutter press have a field day over things like this and he put himself at considerable risk of bringing himself, his office and his party into disrepute.
