i dont see this as being much different to guys who are ripped and like to wear tight or short sleeved clothing... they are boobs, big deal.

As a Councillor I would imagine she has to deal with very real, very grave issues. TBH if it was a man taking pics of himself looking ripped that was my Councillor I'd have the same issue. Its not about sexism this is about being taken seriously.

JSP can take it to a whole new level regarding the way she dresses and rape. I'm not agreeing with that I'm saying that as someone who has a very serious important job these types of picture are inappropriate and I;d say that if it was a man or woman.

I think the important part is that this is outside of work on a personal instagram account.

If she went into work with her boobs out then I'd understand the issue, as it is she doesn't.

If she did, council meetings would be packed to the rafters.

Why because you work in a specific field are you considered public property?
I don't see why here personal snaps on her personal account affect her professional competency.

If I was having an operation and the surgeon had taken pics in a bikini on holiday it wouldn't affect my decision to let her operate.

To be in a job where she deal with such serious issues and to act like a 15 year old taking selfies of her tits, its up to her; I cant do anything about it but I dont think its appropriate and it looks like we differ in this view

And I pointed out quite clearly that I didnt care if it was a man or woman. This behavior is too childish for someone in that position,

What Wigan Councillor Robert Bleakley did was wrong and he gets to keep his job, are you suggesting that by taking a selfie this woman is in breach of duty?....

I know, it is almost like we are going back a century after 2000,rather than gone forward into the 21st century.

..I wasn't sure what my thoughts were on this so I've been giving it a bit of though..and I think I agree with you, it would be the same if it was a male as well although I think it would be perceived differently though..?..maybe with a male it would be more 'laughed at' in a not taking him seriously way but with a female, it's more 'disapproval/dislike..' sort of thing..?..I do think that there may be a different reaction and females are a lot more actually criticised....anyway, I agree with you..in some jobs especially, these things are relevant...I mean, it wouldn't really be appropriate for me to show cleavage etc with my job and to post pics/selfies etc which were public wouldn't be good either..if I do it privately and without 'public access' to what I'm wearing then that's fine ..and she looks amazing/great body etc...but it's only going to make her be taken less seriously by distracting from her politics...that's fine if she doesn't mind that but I think to not be aware that would happen is very naive....
