Are we not allowed a past?

Isn't about time the people who dig out this info are also looked at?

Noboby is squeey clean, and in your teens if you never have something you regret doing WELL is life worth living.

Trouble is she is undermining her husband as the Speaker, not for her past, but because she is digging the dirt on his Party.

I know if I did not believe in something, but it would affect my husband's job, I would keep my mouth shut.

Pity he does not shut it for her.

Lol Teddy, I agree with you...

Trafiklitedol it isn't her past that would worry me... it is her present!! She is a bit of a political flirt, isn't she? Can't make up her mind whether she is Conservative or Labour...... and as you said, dishing dirt on her husband's colleagues, which is not trustworthy... and she wants to be a Labour MP???

Nope, I wouldn't vote for her... but maybe that is the cunning plan? Maybe she is a secret Tory weapon? lol

Love

Wasn't trying to make a political point.

More interested in who and why certain people are" set upon" by the press and the people who do the investigation.

I fully accept that some public figures court publicity but surely an indiscretion in your teens, who hasn't done something they later regreted, should be dragged up 10 - 20 years later.

Surely some of the editors and journalists should be more accountable for the muck they seem to drag from the depths.

That's exactly the point I was trying to make... that she isn't having her past brought up because of her actions in the past... but to highlight, I suppose, her dodgy behaviour now... she has changed from one party to another... is now dissing her husband's party and colleagues.... and is wanting to stand as a candidate in another constituency... fine, as far as it goes, but one would still expect her to show a degree of loyalty to her husband's role... and not *dish the dirt* on things she has learnt purely because of her relationship with him, that he has trusted her with... that is disloyal and untrustworthy. I would never trust a politician who so readily betrays the person they love the most....... and she is openly doing that... as she has done in the past, so she is doing now.

In those circumstances, I don't think it was wrong to bring up her previous polical behaviours.... although I agree that her ladette behaviour, if in the past, should be left firmly there.


Cheers

Don't think I have done much I've regretted. In fact I am damned glad I can look back upon the time I road the church organist's bike into the hedge, belted the lecturer, had to be dressed and taken home on a hand-cart, it goes on and on.

Would not want to be in an old people's home remembering television programmes I had watched and patterns I had knitted.
