Lord Sewel quits as Lords deputy speaker after drug claims

Lord Sewel is facing a police inquiry after quitting as House of Lords deputy speaker over a video allegedly showing him taking drugs with prostitutes.
Lords Speaker Baroness D'Souza said he had also quit as chairman of the Lords privileges and conduct committee in the wake of the Sun on Sunday's story.

The footage showed him snorting powder from a woman's breasts with a £5 note.

Baroness D'Souza said his behaviour was "shocking and unacceptable" and that she was referring him to the police.

What a fucking cheapskate... :nono:

You'd think it would at least be a tenner...

Seems a bit harsh to condemn him for a bit of jiggery and pokery.

After all, the justification for the house of lords is that it's made up of people with a wide spread of experience.

This poor guy was just widening his outlook on life, and this is the thanks he gets.

What surprises me is that it was a female prostitute, and not a rent boy...

Naw, that's not too surprising. Standards are slipping these days. Anyway, he's a labour peer, probably missed the benefit of going to a public school.

I LIKE HIM !! Having followed the link above.
Apart from his paying for sex, and liking the sound of his own voice, that is.

But what he actually said to the hookers was good solid stuff. All true.
Can we not get him to stand for the Labour leadership? I'd vote for him, if he could be persuaded to have a wank, instead of frolicking with the slappers.

Oh and the drugs. Shit, I forgot about that. But maybe it's time to legalise them.
So he could possibly do some good there too.

Insufficient paranoia for the job. It's hard to imagine not being suspicious of the questions asked.

"Shocking and unacceptable" - :roll:

Sure, blame the drug. He's probably fit otherwise. :coffee:
