Another Day, Another Sex Scandal

So, what's next in terms of Tory sex scandals?  This latest one, with Tory MP William Wragge's use of Grindr apparently ending up with blackmail attempts on lots of other MPs and others who worked in Westminster.  But hey, it could happen to anyone, couldn't it?  I mean, the natural reaction to getting contacted by a complete stranger online is to send them pictures of your genitals, isn't it?  The whole thing really does read like the sort of shit I make up over on The Sleaze.  Still, I suppose that we should think ourselves lucky that he was only using Grindr.  I hate to think of the consequences if he had been using a similar app devoted to matching up S&M enthusiasts, (are there such apps?): "One minute I was responding to a message from a complete stranger, the next thing I knew, I was having my scrotum nailed to a Welsh dresser."  Bearing in mind the number of public school educated MPs sitting on the Tory benches that, I fear, would be a scandal that could have engulfed the party.  There would inevitably be pictures of naked Tory MPs strapped to racks, being whipped, having clamps put on their bollocks - all with their faces discreetly pixellated - leaked to the tabloids.  You can just imagine the Mail and Express salivating over such things while simultaneously decrying how sick and depraved it all is and blaming it on the permissive society and 'wokeness'.  I'm sure lefty councils and the BBC would be in there somewhere, as well.  

But I'm sure that the public reaction to such a scandal would be muted - a collective shrug of the shoulders - much as it has been to the Wragge business.  It's got to the stage where we've had so many appalling scandals, sexual or otherwise, that we seem to have become desensitised to them.  On a daily basis, it seems, we have incidents of naked corruption, of public money being diverted to private interests under the guise of 'government policy', outright lies and more policies designed to make the rich richer at the expense of the poor, yet nobody seems to bat an eyelid.  Damn it, we have water companies, enabled by the government, dumping shit into our rivers!  (That's one of the 'Benefits of Brexit' apparently - the ability to swim in our own shit).  Where are the riots?  Why aren't mobs of angry villagers waving blazing torches not bearing down on water company facilities?  As if, quite literally, dumping in our rivers wasn't bad enough, these foreign owned bastards then turn around and tell us we'll have to pay higher water bills in order to clean up their mess, because all the massive profits they've made off of us and the subsidies they've received have been paid out to shareholders rather than invested in repairs and infrastructure upgrades!  Jesus Christ!  When are people going to get angry?  It's no good sitting around waiting for an election - the Tories will delay it as long as possible then do their best to rig it in their favour.  Take up your cudgels and storm Downing Street - or the nearest S&M parlour as that's probably where you are most likely to find the bastards hanging out.
