No he needs to be honest and run a campaign on what he is going to do, Bang younger subordinates.
How would he know he'd even get the chance? Are you suggesting that all political candidates submit to some "purity test" of your design before they can run for office? Sounds pretty Orwellian to me.
If this girl isn't getting special favours, how did she get a cushy MLSE job so conveniently before shit hit the fan? Are you going to tell me this is all coincidence?
Obviously, he helped her get the MLSE job, as I've already stated in this thread. Why do you think she doesn't deserve the job, and why do you care who works for a private company like MLSE? As to whether he helped her over there to try to avoid a scandal: 1) there isn't any information that he knew he would be outed (seems more likely that her gig was simply just up at the city, and it was time to find a new gig), 2) moving her certainly didn't slow the Red Star down one bit in exposing him, and 3) whatever pull he might have over at MLSE, I doubt it goes so far as using them as his pump n dump dumping ground. I'd bet the farm that she has whatever passes for credentials for the work she's doing over at MLSE. As I said before, don't hate the player, hate the game!
There is no law, You shouldn't go to jail for cheating on your wife. Come on now.
Not sure you're making any point here. The laws I was referring to were civil laws, not criminal - nothing to do with going to jail.
That's why it is called ethics. It's how you conduct your business and how professional you are. This is severely lacking.
There are no generally applicable business ethics relating to banging side thingees. Banging tail has nothing to do with the way you conduct business. It's certainly pretty common for CEO's to have side thingees, whether subordinate employees or otherwise. I think you're pushing for a world as you would wish it to be, but you're just imagining that there are some core "business ethics" which govern Tory's behaviour.
What do you mean? People have been critical of him for years, especially in covid.
Explain how he was social distancing while being with this young girl?
While you are obviously moving the goal posts, I think you have a reasonable point here. However, you must remember that people were allowed to have a small social circle of contacts inside their bubble, even at the height of Covid. Depending on when this tryst started, she might actually have been within Tory's small circle at the relevant time. (Not to be confused with defending Tory's Covid policy, or trying to claim that Tory wasn't just as hypocritical as most other power crazed political figures during Covid).
And don't you forget that. He's allowed. His obligation while in office is to be Mayor 24/7 and hold himself to the highest standards.
Are you not reading, or not understanding? You're simply wrong that a mayor is "on duty" 24/7. Some of his "off duty" behaviour might impair his ability to carry out his duties as mayor, but I'm not sure how covertly banging tail does that. You might have a point if he was championing some "fidelity law" while banging tail at the same time, but that wasn't one of his multitude of bad ideas.
He's not some plumber we call on emergency when we need things fixed.
You're right. Plumbers get a lot more useful work done than mayors and seldom tell others what to do.
No, YOU don't know that. YOU are the one so sure of your moral/ethical/political condemnation.
The facts you have to deal with is, He resigned.
He wasn't fired, Wasn't let go. He chose to leave. He chose to have a press conference before the detail even leaked to the public.
So he's guilty on his own account, but we all know if you want to kill an investigation just step down.
He said he didn't live up to his own standards (whatever they might be). Fair enough. Step down if you feel you must. I think he's mostly trying to avoid getting divorced, whether he REALLY feels what he did was unjustified or not. Whatever, everybody needs to look after their business in the way they think best. However, just like a court can't accept a guilty plea if there was no crime even alleged, likewise a person who says "I didn't live up to my own standards" can hardly establish the code of ethics you think is generally applicable. I think he was just mouthing the kind of thing he needed in order to set the groundwork for keeping his marriage intact and/or maybe still having some future of some kind in politics again (its the kind of thing women voters like to hear).
What you need to understand is this isn't a private business. He's done questionable things that shouldn't have happened and if you make a mistake, you gotta pay. It's only fair.
What do you need to understand that politicians are not elected to be our moral examples? They are elected to get things done for the greater good of the population.
