Sign of the times Mambo, 40 years ago this was going on at business dinners, in politicians office, backstage of tv show's. There wasn't such a thing as inappropriate behaviour or language back then (for men anyway). The constant tenuous links to the Labour party from the Daily Mail and its sister publication ninianclark - seem a bit facile and immature when taken into context of the wider story.

The children's and families minister attended a dinner where women were paid to flirt with, dance with, talk dirty to and probably in some circumstances sleep with men because of their status - how ****ed up is that?! He got a 'dressing down' - was that by one of the girls? Sex scandals covered up weekly by a whole host of organisations and seemingly no principles or morals to be found anywhere amongst the upper echelons of British society.

Ordinary people seem to have moved on from our caveman past a lot quicker than our 'brightest and best'. Look at the culprits or just spend your time linking everything to the Labour party if that makes you happy.
