UK government compiled list of sexual harassment for blackmailing votes. It's leaked.

There's no double standard here. After all, it's not gay if you close your eyes and they smell like a woman.
At least he stayed away from the Class A substances
The real Tory manifesto. Insider tips. Life hacks.
As for any American onlookers thinking I or others are being unfair. The satire and such happens here because the party has a history of shaming or sending messages about citizens private lives whilst doing the same things themselves.
Especially, historically, around LGBT issues and homosexuality.

I just do not understand why you would put such inflammatory and damaging stuff to paper.
Surely they knew it would leak? Was it intentional? Is someone being smart here?
To repeat, this Twitter 'leak' hasn't been verified at all, doesn't come from a reliable source, and would be incredibly easy to falsify.
Maybe May want's a way out of government before she has to sign any more Brexit bills.
uhhh, so our government creates legislation while happily blackmailing a significant portion of the MPs that vote on it? There's even instances where illegal actions are ignored.
I feel like this is a big deal.

Juncker be like "Well played, UK. Hold my beer..."
Maybe Boris Johnson will try and trade some golden showers for a better Brexit deal. Who could resist?
This is how politics has always been in this country.
And yeah I back up Roberto - this is an unsubstantiated photo.
For those wondering why Republicans in the US always fall right in line, think of this as a clue.
Okay, so the OP clears it up for me.
Going by what I read there, the list was compiled to act as a blackmail to ensure that the MP's mentioned voted with the government.
That is some pretty sleazy stuff in itself.
Is the above substantiated anywhere? Where did you get that piece of info from OP?

Reminds me of that Flight of the Conchords bit with David Bowie
"But he's pretending you're a woman? No that's fine. Absolutely fine"
Yeah, this stuff is on top of the physical violence and intimidation, Westminster is a fucked up place, it's probably the best it's been at the moment.
Westminster is a screwed up place from everything I've ever read - the entire institution is still very Victorian.
Or threats to their posts/careers. Read All Out War, it's quite staggering the amount people are quite happy to go on the record that the reason people voted or campaigned certain ways pre-election was influenced by the whips and Cameron threatening their jobs, or offering to promote them if they acted with the government.
The whips office is literally a blackmail office. It's what they do (the entire concept should be banned tbh).
Doesn't look like there's any child-rape so I guess it's a marked improvement.
What's most telling is that people have no issue believing it.
I really am shocked, perhaps naively, that the list would be compiled as a blackmail tool.
If that is true, and I have not seen any direct evidence to suggest it is yet, that is just as big a story as the alleged abuse contained within the document.

Of all the countries I read about, I swear that the UK is the one that feels more dystopic and always leaves with me a feeling of hopelessness and dirty.
Hope you guys over there can make it a better country.

A party whip could probably just make a fake list and use that to blackmail people. People don't seem to care about evidence nowadays.
Still not seeing any discussion on Twitter, guess people are still trying to confirm whether or not the full list is real.
You can't ban this sort of thing. You'd have unofficial whips even if you removed the official capacity.
Not really, like a lot of countries it has a lot of good and a lot of bad.
The problem is that a referendum less than two years ago has caused to become quite self-destructive. It could have so easily gone the other way...
Someone in the WhatsApp group "If you put WOMEN'S perfume on a child, doesn't that mean they're now an adult? One of my colleagues was putting women's perfume on men and it meant fucking them wasn't an act of homosexuality. Just asking questions".
Jokes aside, this country has had a damning history with paedophilia in positions of fame/power/influence.
This has perplexed me. I've been looking around the news sites and this doesn't seem to be a scandal at all; more like just the way it works and maybe let's add a few rules but not a big deal. Has British politics really become so jaded that blackmailing over sexual indiscretions and harassment has become normalised?
Would like to try, but the mess of Brexit is going to take pretty much everyone's focus for the next 5-10 years.
Usually otherwise-sane rural/semi-urban Englanders.
I'm somewhat surprised that there are people in this thread that are surprised that the Whips are extremely nasty people in what their role requires of them. Blackmail is not pretty but it's efficient.
Isn't the sensationalist press in the UK mainly right wing? In the US it seems to be more balanced.
Maybe it's because I only read bad news about them, but aside from Brexit, I can recall a former prime minister involved with pedophilia, porn regulation (for some reason), a Labour party that doesn't really work (but I guess it's improved since the latest elections), the racism and xenophobic attacks I've heard about. But I think it's because many movies and books I've read about have London or other places from the UK as setting which has biased me, so any bad news is essentially confirmation bias.
So you have Tory aides compiling a list detailing who within Westminster are sexually inappropriate with their staff ect. Instead of using this information to publicly shame them out of office, they use it to shore up votes for the government.
Instead of this being the main story on the countries most popular newspaper, they go with a story of an MP touching a female reporters leg.
This is being vastly under-reported by the MSM, and it is clear why.
The whole thing stinks.

That's a face that screams "my fingers smell like Amber Rudd"
If folks want to know exactly why this stuff is unreported, it's as much to do with UK libel law as conspiracy to prevent justice.
We have journals like Private Eye in this country that do their best, but it's easy to get sued here.
Also FWIW there is 0 reason to go after Rudd's entry on this list. "Going out with another MP" is not scandalous.
