Subject: BS: Mark Oaten
Most unedifying spectacle of the week on BBC Question Time.
The attempt by MP Mark Oaten to resurrect his career on the David Dimbleby programme. Oaten has admitted sexual relations with young "rent boys"...homosexual prostitutes and on Question Time said that he had been hounded by the press for what was basically a private matter.
Oaten failed to mention what psychological or financial problems would cause these young men to have sex with a fat, sleazy pervert in his late fifties.
He made great play on the fact that the real victims in this sordid affair were his wife and children, again failing to address the point that he had put them in great physical danger from STD's.
Oaten seemed to arouse sympathy in the studio audiance and was fawned over in the most sickening manner by Shami Chakribati, spokesperson of "Liberty" a human rights organisation.
It seems that today, politicians can behave in the most abusive and disgusting ways, but if they admit their wrongdoing and apologise to the public, they are treated like heros......political correctness at its very worst!!
This man is entirely without scruples, so he should be allowed to remain a Member of Parliament....but should never be given a platform on national Television....Ake
