Headbutting and punching several of your fellow MPs in the venerable Houses of Parliament is one thing, but being friendly with a 17 year old girl in feminist Britain 2012 is simply unforgivable. Labour MP Eric Joyce, who was arrested recently for an alleged assault on three different people in the House of Commons Bar, has seen any chance of being forgiven disappear after it was revealed that he had a non-sexual ‘relationship’ with a 17 year old girl, who had volunteered to help in his constituency office before the 2010 general election.
It was under the watch of the labour party that paedohysteria was born and thrived in the UK – codified into law by the 2003 sexual offences act which, amongst other things, made it illegal for adults in a ‘position of trust or authority’ to have sexual relationships with a ‘child’ of 16 or 17 (nominally over the age of consent).
So is Eric Joyce just another sickening paedocrite, of the type that we have to discuss so often on this site? Perhaps not. A couple of years ago (in fact, around the time he was having his relationship with the teen totty) he was shocking the middle-class femiservatives of the Daily Mail by mocking their paedohysteria, something almost unheard of for a politician. In fact, at least with the benefit of hindsight, he appears almost to be admitting that all politicians are peadocrites, and that they have to be, because the people who vote for them are pitchfork wielding paedocrites :
Mr Joyce even condemned attitudes to the danger of paedophiles, pointing out that most sex offenders target young victims within their own families.
He delivered his outburst in an article called Liar, Know Thyself for the website Labour Uncut.
He spoke out after shamed former minister Phil Woolas was ousted by an election court for whipping up racial tensions with false claims about his opponent.
Mr Joyce said: ‘Here’s the truth. It’s hard to lie as a politician because everything we say is subject to enormous scrutiny.
‘But politicians know the lies a lot of people live and they pitch to you accordingly.
‘There’s a lot of lying going on, for sure. But [critics] might want to reflect on who is really doing the lying.’
Meanwhile, esteemed reader ‘MRA’ has brought to our attention, from the same newspaper, the story of ‘Every Parent’s Worst Nightmare‘ – an 18 year old adult female moving in with her teacher, and the subsequent campaign by the teen’s mother to have him shamed on Facebook and even arrested.
MRA points out the deliciously amusing comments left underneath the Daily Mail piece, all downvoted into oblivion by that newspaper’s middle-aged, middle-class, bitter and jealous femihag readership :
