    Welsh Politician commits suicide

    linky

    An ex-Welsh Labour minister who faced a party investigation into allegations about his personal conduct has taken his own life, BBC Wales understands.

    Carl Sargeant had lost his ministerial job as cabinet secretary for communities and children last week.

    A family statement said his relatives were "devastated beyond words" at the loss of "the glue that bound us together".

      Sorry I didn't post the details. I heard the headline on the radio, muttered a swear word then posted, and then found the beeb story.

        Cripes. It's not massively suprising. Many of the revelations have been in the manner of a witch hunt with little evidence presented other than hearsay. People are found guilty and hauled over the coals before anything has been verified.

            These witchhunts are completely getting out of hand.

            It's not right that people are being hauled over the coals before any charges are pressed.

            Just a bit of a curveball here but I was thinking of how May could clear this up once and for all.

            It's simple - if you have a grievance you have a finite amount of time in which to report it.

            Once that time has elapsed, that's it. Tough.

                Then people will go straight to the police as no statute of limitations apply for this kind of criminal charge. Didn't really clear it up once and for all.

                  They don't have witch hunts in Wales, it's sheep dog trials.
                  Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
