Entrapment or what?

She sent him an explicit naked picture and Brooks Numpty Newmarket asked her to send raunchier one.
No fool like an old fool.

The thing is, if he hadn't been up for such naughtiness then he could not have been entrapped.
You cannot trap someone who is honourable and honest....which many of those who represent us, are blatantly not.
These people think they are so far above us....and somehow subject to different rules in life.

At least he has done the decent thing and resigned.
It is his family I feel sorry for.......for goodness sake he has a wife and five children...what must they think of this debacle?

Of course it's entrapment.
But if it was tried on you would you do what he did?

Would I get in a ping pong match of swapping explicit pictures with somebody I don't know?
An emphatic no on that one Mr B

Let's face it, unless you still have a Polaroid camera, any image you take will pass through someone else's hands and/or a machine which can be hacked.

With mobile devices, you should assume that any rude image you take can be seen by someone else if they try hard enough.

The current Mrs P reckons I'd need a good ironing before I take any explicit pics of myself to send anybody.

I look like a hairy beached beluga whale. No chance of any knob pics on my mobile - it doesn't do very good macro shots.

Love your sig, D. Will use it to explain away any conspiracy theory from now on...

I never take any rude pictures....my pictures could be shown to the pope and he would not turn a hair.............There is no chance of anyone getting hold of rude pictures of me because I hide from the camera even when fully clothed.
I don't get this obsession with selfies........OK, I know...it's because I'm old!

The male reporter posing as this young Tory girl targeted 4 other Tory Mp's too. A fishing expedition.

And as Zoe Williams Guardian columnist says today, "You have got to question the intelligence of Newmark embarking on a sexting adventure - believing that a 24 year old wants to see him naked"

[Margaret Pilkington]

So 4 out of 5 didn't take the bait..........but Newmark did.....he must've thought his luck was in. Silly old goat.

Just about sums him up Margaret.
Numpty is another description. In 2010 he had to apologise the the House of Commons for being too drunk to vote.

I can't understand how grown men can be so stupid, once it's on the internet it's every-bodies and anybodies.
How a man so stupid could make a fortune in banking just shows how easy and bent banking must be.

Mind you, back in the late fifties I made the same mistake using the technology of the day.
The love of my life and I couldn't see each other every night(too much homework) so between doing homework we would write each other love letters, ending in the usual BURMA, SWALK etc. They'd be fairly innocent I suppose but quite fervent.
A nice lad in a lower year used to deliver them for us, he lived near her.
I should have known what would happen- stupid!
It was a long while before he admitted he and his mates used to take them straight home, steam them open, read them and reseal them before delivery. Well, not many of us had telly then and this was their soap opera. I thought of killing him but didn't quite.
I probably still wore Paisley pyjamas in those days too but luckily I didn't have a camera.

It's a well known scientific fact that for much of a male's life his brain moves from between his ears to between his legs. Or, as one of my exes used to say when I passed up a (boring) piece of ass to go watch hockey with my buddies: "It must be a dick thing."

Isn't that where a man's brains resided - hence the saying when zip not fully pulled up "Your brains are hanging out again"
