Labour Baloney

 Jeremy Corbyn is heading into his 36th year as a Labour MP since he was first elected in 1983 so you'd think he'd have a pretty good idea about what goes on in and around the Palace of Westminster.

 But in a softball interview with Grazia magazine Jezza says he was shocked by the recent allegations of sexual harassment before adding: 

“I’m horrified and appalled by it all. I think sexism is a real challenge in society that needs to be dealt with. The allegations are all investigated and dealt with as appropriate. We support the people making them as well as the people being alleged against.”

Now I could understand Labour policy if this was all about creating conditions for victims of harassment to come forward and be taken seriously while investigating claims properly to ensure that 'justice' is done.  

But all this stuff about 'supporting people making allegations as well as those against whom allegations are made' is just a load of old baloney, if you ask me.

Because the evidential test up till now has relied upon a third party witness which is very difficult to achieve in cases of bullying and harassment.

Whereas the test under civil law is based on the 'balance probabilities' which is used in most employment and disciplinary settings.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
