LibDem Lord Plays Down “Mild Sexual Advances”
As Guido revealed in his Sun column yesterday, one fellow yellow peer has jumped to the defence of randy Rennard. Weirdy-beardy Lord Greaves has been fighting his corner on an internal party message board, suggesting the sex pest allegations were merely “mild sexual advances”.
“Are the allegations true? We will have to wait and see. Meanwhile I suggest people just calm down a bit. Is the alleged behaviour criminal? We don’t know the details of anything that may have happened. But it is hardly an offence for one adult person to make fairly mild sexual advances to another. What matters if whether they are pursued if they are rebuffed…In passing I would note and guess that if the allegations as made are a matter for resignation, perhaps around a half of the male members of the Lords over the age of 50 would probably not be seen again”
Then on a thread titled “Just a devious Beeb/Labour plot to steal Eastleigh thunder”, Lord Greaves continues:
“Interesting to consider what is “sexual harassment”. Does one proposition constitute sexual harassment? If that is not normally the case (which seems common sense) might it do so in the particular context of the relationship between two people? And once there has been a refusal by the other person, how many more propositions constitute sexual harassment? We only know the identity of two of the complainants, as I understand it. In at least one case, if the event that is alleged too place, I’m surprised the response was not a slap in the face. But why the complaints have been made now is a mystery.”
Guido wonders what the party’s paltry female contingent would make of Greaves’ hands on attitude to dealing with the Rennard crisis. With friends like that…
Thought this would be on here!

I wonder which political Totty shagged themselves into high positions.
Wasn’nt me
You Fibber
BREAKING NEWS!!!!
Catholic God Botherer Shags little boys!
Who’d a thowt it?
Anyway, it’s not about the odious tub of blubber’s crudeness, it’s about the cover up and the lying.
As always. Billy Bunter is toast and hopefully so are Lascivious Dems Eastleigh chances.
Wassup with the puritanical zeal Guido, not getting any?
Get a grip
or a grope,
or something.
To be honest. For most of the Adult population what he writes makes perfect sense and is reasonable.
It is only in the warped minds of the Westminster village and the press that feeds off them that his words could be taken out of context.
The real scandal here is Nick Clegg suddenly remembering that he did know all along and a person who he sacked for sexual indiscretions in the workplace is retired to the HoL as a thank you for services rendered.
It is interesting though that Lord R thought the same strategy was sorth pursuing again and again and again. Maybe it was effective and the ratio of rebuffs to successful crude advances made it worth the effort.
Reminds me of a Brummie guy at Uni who was known for his chat-up line, “Do you fancy a fuck or am I wasting my time?” It certainly worked for him although heaven knows how?
FordingtonField, My brother’s favourite chat-up line was “hello love, do fancy going halves on a bastard?” I never understood it, but it worked.
As for what the Lib Dems are saying, well there is some truth to it. So far as I can figure it out, any act is only considered sexual harassment IF the woman finds the man repulsive. If she finds him to be attractive, then no offence has taken place.
This spoof video explains it brilliantly:
http://www.break.com/usercontent/2007/5/7/more-sexual-harassment-training-289293
Seems to have moved on to Danny Boy who is said to have spoken to Rennard and Rennard who claims no allegations were ever made. One of them is telling porkies!
Slick-willy Clinton was said to ask a woman for a blow-job “upfront”.
Now if Rennard had used that line who knows what may have happened!!
Of course…. and the finest example is our old friend Handycock. Still at it after years of rebuffs but many successes. Watch this space for news of the latest High Court action. Not for nothing do they call him Teflon Man.
Bollocks. Groping women is NOT making mild sexual advances.
Dragging them into a cave by their hair was.
I agree 100%. Rennard being randy is hardly an offence. It’s strange world that thinks it is. Clegg showing a lack of leadership is another matter. Then again the current crop of ‘leaders’ are pretty dismal.
What exactly should have been done?
Was there any police complaint? Without a complaint what could be done? However much a dislike Clegg, I see no ability in his position to be judge or jury in a spat between adults in a bar. These are supposedly political people, they are not in anyway vulnerable.
To even equate this on any level to the cases involving the vulnerable is a further crime against those children.
We now all know that whistle-blowers are continuously threatened and silenced, but to use the present climate for political gain for actions between adults is disgusting behaviour. This time is for the children that were ignored. The rest will be dealt with when we feel the vulnerable are safe. Those that kill for bonuses are the next on the list, way before any “crime” committed between equal adults.
There is a time and a place for complaints like these. These women are showing severe lack of control and any empathy for the vulnerable.
In my circle, sticking your hand down the back of a lady’s dress isn’t the usual mode of initiating intimate personal contact. The first move on the gentleman’s part should, I suggest, be one that can be declined without embarrassment to either party. Membership of the Liberal Democrats may however tend to coarsen a man’s manners.
If they’re ‘mild sexual advances’ why was it necessary for Beaker to have a word in Rennard’s ear and why was it covered up?
You can trust me.
Clegg! Nick Fucking Clegg.
Would type more but apoplexy has a hold of me
Nick Fucking Clegg
Fucking fuckwitted fuck of a fuck.
“mild sexual advances” are probably enough to get you sacked if you keep on doing them.
Wow. What a looker Lord Greaves is! The Lying Dumbocraps, the party for attractive people.
At least he looks like a proper Lib Dem! To be sure, I would need to see the footwear, of course.
And the ‘Roy Cropper from Coronation Street’ bag
Looks can be so deceptive.
The fact that someone looks like a lecherous old goat doesn’t mean that they are one.
Obviously.
Nick Clegg continues to dig a hole for himself.
he really is, he really does not know when to shut up.
So, a woman who worked for him and knew him well, did not trust him enough to tell him of her concerns.
Clearly a shit manager who should not hold high public office.
perhaps around a half of the male members of the Lords over the age of 50 would probably not be seen again”
===============
He should name names.
He’s right though, isn’t he?
It’s not groping as long as your fingers stay dry.
Anchovies anyone?
Exactly
.
A drunken grope is one thing but we’re seeing a pattern emerge here, a man in high office seemingly hunting for low orifice.
I suppose that Lord Prescott makes up half of the male members of the House of Lords by weight so he may have a point.
What exactly is wrong with anything he said?
Plenty. Is ra*pe just making strong sexual advances?
A list of humans who’d have welcomed Rennard’s ‘mild sexual advances’:
You missed this one…
That’s OK then.. I stroke a fit bird’s thigh under the table and that’s fine, a ‘mild sexual advance’. [Makes note to join LIBERAL Democrats]!!!
Welcome.
Never mind all this about sexual advances.
Can you imagine all the flora and fauna that must exist in that beard?
I think we’ve got a programme.
I must say I think this man looks most distinguished
And his wiki entry is virtually empty
He has obviously just pronounced the only memorable words of a lifetime
How on earth did someone like this become a Peer?
Do you think he wears sandals? Or Doc Martin’s?
Does he actually wash himself before coming to the House of Lords?
Or is he a real chave in lamb’s slothing?
Lib / Lab / Con – a party of pervs, crooks and traitors.
Vote Ukip – give all of the establishment a kicking.
LOL.
I wouldn’t be seen dead voting for a party that allows the crooked Hamiltons to join it.
Very well said.
Vote UKIP Get Mossad.
does that mean you are content to vote for any of lib/lab/con who have lead the country into it’s current predicament (and made much personal profit in the process) ?
Time to fix the crosshairs on Clegg.
and pull the trigger. Twice
Seem quite reasonable points to me
+1.
The real story is Clegg’s cover up. So much for sunlight through the yellow window.
.
I think we’ve got a very clear message, a loud and clear message that Britain cannot let up in dealing with its debts, dealing with its problems, cannot let up in making sure that Britain can pay its way in the world.
Why do you insist on posting this on every article Jimmy?
Dear George
Just make things crystal clear we thought we should point out that our message is not that you should not let up indealing with your debts. It is that you have not been dealing with your debts and that, as a result, your entire economy has got dodgier.
Please do something about it before we ahve to put you in the bargain basement with Greece.
Yours faithfully
Moody’s
Funny old game Politics eh Greavsy?
Can someone enlighten me as to what the fuck a mild sexual advance is?
Sticking a cigar up an intern’s vag and then smoking it.
I wondered why my cigars we’re a trifle Haddocky
Take the band off
Phew! Takes the heat off me.
Now, where was I, princess?
“Guido wonders what the party’s paltry female contingent would make of Greaves’ hands”
Greaves’s
For you the war is over.
I have the hand of God
I do believe democracy has been a failed experiment, we need a strong man in a nice suit, preferably black.
If you find him give me a call.
” I would note and guess that if the allegations as made are a matter for resignation, perhaps around a half of the male members of the Lords over the age of 50 would probably not be seen again”
WE WISH, even the CONVICTED criminal Lords are welcomed back into the money making machine that is the upper house, with welcome open arms.
…and we have to pay for the slippery f*****s
I object to people doing impersonations of me. I’ve had enough trouble with Watson.
+1
Fancy a shag?
Oi, I saw him first!
Let’s be honest, looking at him, the options are either grope or take up knitting.
I was carrying out party instructions on behalf of Harriet, when she said “we should have more women in the corridors of power” – So immediately took Tracey up both corridors just to be on the safe side!
I feel violated.
No wonder the LibDems are such a wet and useless bunch.
They can’t even do sex and molestation properly, and even “Lord” Prescott managed to give Tracey the benefit of his chipolata in the office and for real.
I wish people would listen to me.
If you put your hands down my pants ,sir ,the force you apply matters not one jot .
You hands are still in my pants where they should not be .
Guilty……………… beyond all reasonable doubt!
My pants are clean.
Keep farting around with these endless scandals
Lib, Lab or Con, never mind the perps’ handles
It’s far more important who they got to screw
Than we never voted to join the E U
We’ll have that referendum, there’s no doubt about that
Once enough immigrant “in” voters can skin the cat
Indeed, and the elephant in the room is the debt left by the LibLabCon of £17,868 for every man, woman and child, that’s more than £39,340 for every person in employment.
Every household will pay £1,919 this year, just to cover the interest alone.
Shocking, absolutely shocking.
I fancy a hot Currie tonight.
I know what you mean John. Is she a fan Chelsea?
Have you done anything about those green teeth of yours David. I know you love sucking toes, but please!
Disgusting pair, they couldn’t keep it in their trousers
I heartily recommend keeping advances to teenies, far more compliant than all those whingeing, savvy, milfs.
Yeah, but there’s nothing better than a pair of eyes with crow’s-feet, and a pair of droopers and a flabby bum, is there now?
This is disgraceful and proof that I should have been Mr Leader.
First Clegg goes round saying one thing about something that happened a good few years ago, and then when the evidence starts to mount says something completely different. The man is clearly not to be trusted.
Oh wait…
LOL
He who laughs last laughs loudest. I haven’t finished with Clegg yet though.
Why have you and Clegg married foreign fillies?
That Mr Kennedy married a nice Scottish girl.
And what happened?
She dumped him?
Do not forget that Mr Thorpe’s first wife died in an accidental car crash.
Cuz they are Europhiles?
Perhaps today would be a very good day for Jeremy Thorpe to die.
just like Mr Farridge?
Ladies and Gentlemen the one you have been waiting for, yes, The Oscar For The Most Useless Politician Wearing A Silly Hat, and the winner is, Come ON down Viiiiiiiiince Caaaable
You mean he has escaped again, its bad enough turning up in the HoC but bloody LA, get him back now and that sodding hat goes back into the play box
If we were part of the eurozone would we not be forced to cut public spending much more than the piss-poor pathetic gestures we’re making at the moment? An independent currency just gives politicians the opportunity to debauch it.
Farce as Assembly votes not to quiz Mayor over budget

Let me explain to the noble Lord
Saying “I just wondered if you might like to go out some time” – acceptable
Running your hand up the thigh of a junior female member of staff – not acceptable
Stroking hair / breasts / back/ legs – not acceptable.
Got it yet?
No, Tracey. I’ll keep trying.
I’d like to get to the bottom of this…..
That should read “Nick Clegg vows to get to Lord Rennards bottom”
That’s what we want, Rum, Bum and a frisky sailor
So would you. You should apply.
I’m not having that C*nt Clegg anywhere near me Ta
An unfortunate phrasing. Indeed he must avoid being firm on this issue, and under no circumstance call for a deep penetrating investigation in order to firmly thrust and reveal all.
What is it about Liberals and memory loss?
First Huhne now Clegg.
Its never the incident that gets em ….its the cover up
Sorry. What was the question again ?
Between 10;00 pm Saturday and 10.00 pm Sunday I sold just 16 beef burgers in my takeaway.
I have 976 frozen burgers in my freezer .
I am ruined and all you the Government can do is talk about sex !
If half the male members of the HoL over the age of 50 would not be seen again that would be great.
Like Gordo half of the male members of the House of Lords are never seen anyway.
http://fxbites.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/a-touching-apology.html
There are at least three other front line Liberals against whom similar allegations have been raised .
Thursday’s by election might just have to be cancelled.
You missed the latest Catholic buggery story you brainless twat .
I never knowingly knew anything about nothing

Mr Clegg we have confirmed your one way return flight back to Spain for this evening, but your credit card appears to not be functioning. Please ring the call centre
Touching up women in the workplace is disgusting #OldHypocrites’R'us
Prescott is a scumbag piece of filth. A Labour qualitiy.
Me being rude: Shut the fuck up. Me being polite: Please shut the fuck up.
Markets shrug off Britain’s downgrade

So some ugly fat guy makes passes at lots of women. Hold the front page.
No doubt he has to and no doubt had he been more Beckamesque in appearance, these girls would not have complained.
The real story as identified, by Greaves, is why this issue has been raised now (on the eve of a bye-election) and aided if not instigated by Lib Dems?
Far more important than who didn’t shag who.
Come on Guido, what’s going on?
Simples
The Murdoch Mob at work
Guido kites these allegations in 2009
Now they come out just at the right time to cause maximum damage to the LibDems and Coalition just before Eastleigh etc
Guido is part of the Murdoch Black Ops department
PS How many of the NOWT staff are now working for the Sun?!
Girls do not complain about my groping. Boaz
Seems as if resignation is in fashion.
“Britain’s most senior Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal Keith O’Brien, is resigning as Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, after being accused of inappropriate conduct, the BBC learns.”
We and the NHS don’t do resignations unless they are in multiples of 7 figures.
We concur.
The BBC never learns. End of.
They’ve learned alright. They’ve learned they can do anything they like with absolutely no comeback whatsoever.
Guido, what about the shock resignation of Cardinal Keith O’Brien following hard on the heels of allegations of innapropriate behaviour and this just a few weeks after the shock resignation of the Pope himself !!!! Looks like the Scarlet Lady is imploding !
It seems to me that two main sources of kiddyfiddling through the years has been The Church and the Public Schools.
…and politicos
Not according to the stats. A child is most at risk from family.
When one deletes all records of any person in authority from statistics the only ones left are the individuals without authority.
Please read my post properly I didnt say they were the only sources I said two main sources are…. That is a correct statement as far as institutions go they are amongst the worst for having a sub culture of noncing . Of course it can also be argued that some of he abuse occuring in families have a root in some of the cases in abusers having been abused themselves by Priests and the like. Im sure many roads lead to Rome.
Vote Liberal Democrat or we’ll shoot your fox.
How can one try to justify inappropiate sexual advances, or for that matter to suggest that there is a level of inappropiateness, ranking from, just one of those things that boys indulge in, to, oh dear did he rally rape her.
For far too long the Limp-Dicks have been able to picture themselves as whiter than white, nice to see the image cracking up.
We would like to thank Lord Rennard of Hooters, Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems for showing that they are full of incompetent sleazeballs & for taking the pressure of us.

What’s wrong with the BBC being a subscription service?
What are the BBC so scared of?
What I find sickening is how the BBC goes on about Clegg, Rennard, and the Catholic bloke, without proof. But the BBC redacts passages of text from their inquiry. How can a publicly funded organisation as the BBC be so hypocritical.
The BBC is beyond a joke.
All I am interested in is …
IS he an Israeli?
School in Surrey says all children must be driven to school, not allowed to walk!
“Children to be banned from walking and cycling to North Downs Primary School
Thursday, February 21, 2013
Dorking Advertiser
CHILDREN will be banned from cycling and walking to two primary school sites over fears it would be too dangerous.”
So much for stopping them getting overweight by exercise.
If the taxi drivers are like the ones around here, the risks are far greater to children than walking. If they want to impose restrictions outside their site then they should think clearly about the implications.
None of their damn business how the kids get to and from school. Their authority stops at the school gate. Tell ‘em to effoff and mind their own business.. oh, and start teaching their pupils how to read, write and do sums properly.
Ten out of ten stories on the front page. In guidoworld this is literally the biggest thing ever to happen anywhere.
I don’t tend to agree with you on much Jimmy but on this you’re right, for once.
Up the revolution brothers!
You’d better keep it short Owen. I want you back home by 8.00 o’clock. It’s bath night.
Is Lord Greaves a groper? Groper Greaves has a certain ring to it.
Can you imagine porkie salivating Lord Rennard sweatily groping grotesque leftie dwarf Sarah Teather?
It’s the stuff of nightmares!
While Creepy Greaves looks on, furiously bashing the bishop!
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside…
But what would Dibot have to say about it? Are his arms long enough?
