The Scotsman - Top Stories - MP suspended over visa fraud: A LABOUR MP was yesterday suspended from the Commons for a week for his part in a bogus immigration application by a Brazilian former male escort he employed as a parliamentary assistant. Clive Betts apologised "unreservedly" to the Commons after being found guilty of two breaches of the MPs' code of conduct in his dealings with Jose Gasparo. [...] The MP, who "came out" as a homosexual as a result of the events, took the unprecedented step of asking Sir Philip to investigate the scandal after reports emerged in newspapers.
Yes, I suppose he might have to "come out" after all that, mightn't he?
You know, the British have the most INteresting political scandals. I mean, our representatives just fool around with pages. Theirs hire rentboys to be their "parliamentary assistants" and help them with their visa problems.
