Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has resigned

[Sparts99]

here's a big clue:

"Following David Cameron's resignation, Williamson "privately vowed" to stop the front-runner Boris Johnson from becoming Conservative Party leader. He assessed Theresa May to be the likeliest candidate to beat Johnson, offered his help to her, and was invited to be her parliamentary campaign manager."

Jobs for the boys and a supporter to help May stay in power.

i wonder what all this touching business is coming to if we go in a shop or supermarket and get served by a female and hands touch what next? the mind boggles.

Never mind touching! Call a female luv these days and you are sexually harassing them.

Thanks, I like to stick to the facts, at least to the best of my ability. Both have a good holiday

Jem while I agree mostly with what you say what we are seeing called out now is men that abuse power either overtly or subtly. One of my best friends suffered from this and nearly lost her job when she complained, it took her a lot of strength and research into the bloke before the matter was closed to her satisfaction. Making a move or flirting isn't really the issue here.

Theresa May appointed Gavin Williamson as new defence minister earlier. I hear cries of 'who?' Well you will have to Google him too!

Take care what you advise others to do. It will soon be classed as harassment to google anyone.

Sadly it is, has been & probably always will be a matter for concern. The male of the species will always try such moves, Jem's wife had the right idea. A strong law, rigorously applied would go a long way to reduce incidents but never completely prevent it happening.

Makes me wonder how close we all have been during our own life

The real question is why Mr. Fallon did not have his sanity assessed as the remarks were allegedly made towards Andrea Leadsom.
