Conservative Damian Green has Resigned
|
I think this was inevitable really.
It's something that wasn't going away. |
Damian Green, one of Theresa May's closest allies, has resigned from the cabinet after an investigation found he had breached the ministerial code.
He quit after he was found to have made "inaccurate and misleading" statements about what he knew about claims pornography had been found on a computer in his Commons office in 2008. In his resignation letter, Mr Green apologised for his actions. In her response, Mrs May expressed "deep regret" at his departure. Mr Green, who as first secretary of state was the PM's deputy, had been under investigation regarding allegations of inappropriate conduct. He denied suggestions that he made unwanted advances to a female journalist, Kate Maltby, in 2015 and viewed pornography on a computer in his Commons office in 2008. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42434802 ---------- He lied about the porn on his computer ... he had to go |
Oh dear, he really had to go.
So he was asked to resign, polite way of getting the sack. |
Bet he found that hard

what i find interesting still about this one is that he has been found to have done wrong by the standards committee and yet he still maintains his innocence saying he did nothing wrong and wouldn't have gone unless shoved out the door.

shambles
|
really not to sure what to say !
I think the porn may have been me and a lady called sue he was watching - if I had a link I would connect :shrug: where is my medication :nono: |
Right decision, most people wouldn't keep their job in these circumstances

What happened to slimy David Davies indicating he'd walk if Green was forced out by the police reveal issue.

He's been sacked for being too embarrassed to admit to watching porn?

He was only investigated because he was trying to dig as much dirt on the Labour Party as possible and used a young civil servant to dig that dirt. The civil servant was sacked whilst Green, who had instructed this man to do his dirty work, got investigated and that's when the porn was found. Green along with the civil servant should of been sacked 10 years ago. |

If he had kept his lying gob shut he might have kept his job. |
This is an odd case with no actual proof he was the one downloading or looking at porn, which isn't illegal anyway. Messages from the woman who complained about him tell a slightly different story of friendly intimacy. Maybe he read the signals wrong and made a pass, still not a crime. I think what the police/former police did in this case was disgraceful and sets a dangerous precedent.
I worry that this is badly out of proportion you won't be able to smile at someone soon. You haven't committed a crime beyond some woman saying you make her feel uncomfortable and a computer you, or an assistant, might have used a decade ago had some naughty pics on and you lose your job and reputation. That's a lot more uncomfortable IMO. Most of the population would lie or deny everything when confronted with those kind of accusations. |
He was initially investigated for lying. A young civil servant was the scapegoat in that sorry scenario. Damian Green has been playing dirty games for a long time and its not just porn.
