Originally posted by wattaj View PostThe relevance, with out implication, was WTH was he thinking in chasing a kid who is near enough the same age as his son; WTH thinks that that's an appropriate thing for a grown man to do? Surely, being a father, he can't think that anyone that age is anything other than a child.
I DGAS that's he's gay. Being gay does not equate to paedophile.

Originally posted by KinooOrKinog View PostNo I agree. He's lost his job over it & will now no doubt have people shouting abuse at him in the street, but I'm not defending his actions. I was just pointing out that he's done nothing that's against the law.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by wattaj View Post16. The boy is 16 and the messaging has been going on for 6 months. "Inappropriate" doesn't even come close the this situation.
If politicians felt that it is wrong for an older guy to chase (consensually) a much younger guy, then they would have made it illegal. They didn't - which tells me they find such behaviour acceptable at least.
Though the guy sent him around 173 messages, which certainly constitutes harrasment, and possible grounds for dismissal.Comment
