(50,254 posts)Probably relating to the combination of privilege, repression, entitlement and the sense of invincibility, mixed with a weird self-destructive streak, that seems to cause such people in the political elite to put themselves into situations like this.
The role sex workers play in all of that is incidental, really.
It could just as easily be excessive consumption of drink or substances that reveals itself in the end, or the peddling of influence or places on the Honours lists, or the parliamentary expense scandal that ended up disgracing at least 10% of the House of Commons.
My initial responses in this thread were too flippant, too " again?". I just meant that this seems to be a kind of pathology in UK(and other countries')politics.
