Family and Friends Forum

I am finding the news really triggering. When i first read about Matthew Doyle i assumed it was him that was the convicted sex offender and that is why the MP's all wanted to oust him from the house of lords. But no, it is because he was a friend of one. He says his friend was arrested but that he plead not guilty and he believed his friend. Though i agree it was not the best thing to compaign in the public eye while awaiting the investigation, it opens up the debate of believing your friends. They now want to oust some one who used to be a friend that has now been convicted. What does that make me? So far I have stayed with my OH. The papers are lapping this up, and all the MP's are in frenzie, no one wanting to even admitt that they are friends with a friend of a sex offender. I am not religious but i always think of the saying 'let him/her who is without sin cast the first stone.' When will it end.

Just needed to get my thoughts written down. Hope this has not upset anyone.

I have always liked the saying news is tomorrows chip paper. I remember when it was newspaper they used.



Thank you for replying, as always it is nice to know I am not alone with these thoughts.
