I’ll give Guido some advice – if you don’t use male prostitutes for sexually deviant practices your kids won’t get bullied about it!

How easy was that? Ohh obviously too hard for Mr Oaten.

Dog eat dog, end of…(An obscure reference from last years Big Brother there for you all.)

Shhhh! We’re not mentioning children any more. Didn’t you get the memo?

Oaten screwed up end of story. From the morality viewpoint the abiding theme appears to be hysterically screaming: ‘Think of the children!’.
I can’t stand that sort of lecturing – in all likelihood his wife would have found out sooner rather than later and the impact would have been the same on a personal level. By standing as a prospective leader of a party you will be scrutinised; if he didn’t have the foresight to see that happening then that reflects badly upon him.

Mrs and the Misses Oaten did not know about this. If Guido knew, and if he were any kind of a decent human being (and yes, Guido, I am about to lay the smackdown on you) he would have written to Mrs. Oaten to inform her this was known and was about to come out so she could protect her children. Guido has blogged before that he has children. Would he like them to be bullied at school for something like this? Doesn’t he, as a father (I am a mother) give a damn about the impact on the Oaten girls? Apparently not. Furthermore, if there are suggestions that the man is a paedophile then it is a moral imperative to make a report to the police in order to protect children, not to sit sniggering in Westminster about the wreck of a human life.

The Oaten girls are innocent. Not to care about the impact on them is beyond low and worse if you are yourself a parent.

What planet are some of these people whining about Oatens treatment on?

Example “I think you can’t be cavalier with the intense suffering caused to Oaten’s wife and little girls.”

This is the best example of the liberal minds warped world view that pervades all our lives now that I’ve seen. This whole issue isn’t Oatens fault for being a liar and a hypocrite no, no, no…it’s Guido’s and the NotW’s fault for exposing it!

Remember kids you can’t get caught out if you’re doing no wrong – simple really!

*ba-dum tish* etc.

It was, indeed, important for a Lib-Dem to bite the dust. Any reversal for the LDs is a gain for the Tories. Cameron’s strategy at the moment is to persuade Liberals to come over.

While accepting that this little scandal may disqualify him from leading the party, why reveal it after he’s dropped his leadership bid? The blackmail’s worked, surely? Wouldn’t it be more useful to hang onto it to get more later?

And as for the whole him advocating certain prostitution policies thing, Lib Dem policy is not set by their shadow cabinet, but by the massed ranks of the party, so Oaten surely had very little to do with it.

And besides all that, he’s a Lib Dem – he was never going to achieve high office, and most people have never heard of him. Might as well go after a County Councillor for all the power he has.

Yes, it’s a story, but hardly one that’s important enough to potentially ruin the lives of not just Oaten but also his entire family, surely? If he was in the Cabinet, fine, but he’s a Lib Dem no mark – a tautology, but evidently one that needs stressing.
