Westminster bubble

IT SEEMS #MeToo stops at the gates of westminster. MPs and peers have insulated themselves against exposure and punishment by making sure they have immunity should the finger of accusation point their way.

Our legislative bodies have exempted themselves from being disciplined by the legal mechanisms to which they shackle us.

An inquiry has uncovered several serial sex pests in Parliament and revealed bullying is commonplace.

Though this may have been seen as the norm in the westminster bubble, time has been called on these archaic attitudes.

what will happen to the offending MPs and Lords? They will get expensive counselling paid for by us, and I imagine the report will be kicked around by various committees until the dust has settled.
