The allegations made in 2015 were addressed and reported on, my post was to query why they had been reported on...again.

The father-of-two said some of the allegations against him were a "massive exaggeration", but conceded that he had at times "overstepped the line".

In 2015 the Mail on Sunday reported that Brendan Cox had stepped down from his position as chief strategist at Save the Children over allegations of "inappropriate behaviour" which he at the time denied.

More details of Mr Cox's alleged behaviour emerged after Oxfam issued its own apology over a sex scandal involving aid workers in Haiti.

There aren't any more details... they are the same details.
There is nothing in the 2018 report that isn't in the 2015 report.

How do you know that?

And why did it take 3 years for this Brendan chap to resign?

I would imagine it has been revisited given recent events? Weinstein, MPs of both parties being accused of sexual harassment, Oxfam, it's a news story that is not going to go away

So a 2yr old story is revisited based on an unsubstantiated accusation that overshadows the other story in the media which was the 'paradise club' expose where women were routinely groped during the event at which they were working...
Does that not smack of a double standard to you?

I read the BBC article and it said new info had arisen. YOu obviously missed that one and dont seem to be able to state why he took 3 years to resign (or should I say be advised to resign)

I also expect the Mail have more dirt on him as they will want to release more this Sunday
