Tom Watson Apology

Tom Watson has apologised to the widow of Lord Brittan for repeating the description he was given by one of his (Lord Brittan) accusers ("close to evil"). He "regrets" having done so, regrets the upset it has caused for his family.
David Cameron said he must go further and "examine his conscience about whether he's said enough so far" and said he had "a lot of questions to answer"

Will David Cameron apologise for describing J Corbyn as "a threat to our national security, our economic security and your family's security"?
When politics are the reason for such exchanges being made, criticisms levelled, and posturing at play, shouldn't the PM be setting a good example of behaviour?

As an aside; if it were not for Tom Watson we would not know of the organised paedophile activities of the past, nor of the coverup involving the MET.
I understand that former MET officers have contacted TW detailing their own suspicions of a top level cover up and that there are currently 19 investigations ongoing regarding MET failures/corruption.
Hounding the Corbyn tribe is now a favourite sport of the National press .... hypocrites that they are.

Answer my Q Steve:

Was that before or after:

""Watson admits that was a false claim by that woman"

I was unaware he even said such.

I wouldn't tie your flag to the mast of Exaro Jonsky. More shit to hit the fan for them


I see Tigger has been driven mad by the screech of his own goal post moving ^
Exaro are like Watson they are both victims of the dirty tricks brigade..

He hasn't moved his goal posts

Err oh yes HE has.
His link backed him up..Maybe you would like to get back to the topic rather than play swap the insults..Or has the going got too much for you now as you are not even responding to the links etc..

Perhaps you missed Tigger posting "You seem to be short of some information, Paul Settle RESIGNED, he was not forced out," His later posts show he recognises he was indeed forced out

And in case you haven't noticed, Tigger NEVER posts links so how can "His link backed him up"?

And Watson should apologise for when he was wrong. Even if it later emerges that Brittan was up to all sorts of no good, an honest person apologises when they have made serious allegations that turn out to be false.
No, no, no!

Watson is far brighter than you it would seem, any full scale apology would be spun into a net to drag Watson down, he has said he regretted repeating the allegations made by a witness about Brittain but he has rightly refused to apologise for anything else.

I was unaware of some of the shit the police got up too whilst "investigating" this affair until you put that link up, at what point will it enter your head that Watson has been pretty courageous here? He has taken on the corrupt press, exposed police incompetence, possibly deliberate incompetence, brought to our attention a dossier on establishment kiddy fiddling, which we've yet to see for some reason, and forced Theresa May to launch a proper investigation, but even that is compromised because it's already had two people heading it who have relatives who may be named!

If you can't see what is going on here you must be blind, the establishment really does not want this investigated...........

"It basically says Tom Watson isn't the only person who needs to properly apologise. "

Not really Steve, yes the article did get that piece you mentioned wrong. But it shows that Watson is a man of conviction, if he believes in something he will fight for that..sorry but I admire that regardless of who hates him.

T seems to have a point about Watson quoting a witness BTW.
I suggest you read the words he actually used

Tom Watson
 
I’ve spoken to a woman who said he raped her in 1967. And I’ve spoken to a man who was a child when he says Brittan raped him. And I know of two others who have made similar claims of abuse.

To these people, the establishment has closed rank and slammed down the shutters. They talk of their “devastation”.

Today, one survivor said to me that Brittan “showed me no kindness or warmth.” That Brittan was “as close to evil as a human being could get in my view”.

This survivor said that Brittan and the others “took my childhood, they took the very essence of who I was and finally he’s taken away my right to see justice done.”


Not exactly distancing himself is he

And remember even Watson admits that was a false claim by that woman
Was that before or after:

"Watson admits that was a false claim by that woman"


Allegation I quoted made January 2015, allegation to DPP April 2014. Watson declines to pursue 'Jane' allegation further October 2015

So before

Far from a Lie...I leave lies to the tories...And I see yet again you never answered my question..
yes a lie. Don't repeat it, don't further assert it to be true. An honest adult would apologise for it.

And do not expect me to answer your juvenile 'have you stopped beating your wife' questions either
Nothing juvenile about my question unlike yours who thinks that the sun shines out of Settlers arse....Oh and if you saw my reply to Rich a few posts back you would know I have no wife but a partner.

Your pedanticism is getting a bit irritating now.

Firstly he did indeed resign, the alternative would probably have been forcible removal due to his incompetence which by now you should be fully aware of. Hint, stop bleating about Watson ruining his career, Settle managed that all on his own.

I understand perfectly..yet again we just have the usual muck raking brigade working on Watson...

I'm looking at the bigger picture now Steve, it's the businessman in me. ;-)


There is just far to many unfortunate coincidences and bizarre goings on here to paint this as anything else but the British Establishment doing it's level best, and on numerous occasions, to see this dead and buried and out of the public gaze.

Watson has got balls I'll say that about him, he'll know what to expect from our rancid "free press" that is controlled by billionaire sociapaths and the vile creatures that inhabit our legislature, I wish him all the best.

What about the Customs officer who caught brittan with kiddy porno? Or what about many who have tied him up with the murder of a young boy...or his sordid little visits to Elm Guest House? There are many allegations against him why don't you pick up on some of those they can't all be false..

Why would I smear Corbyn? AFAIK he is spotlessly clean on this

Did I ask for Watson's head? No, so please don't insinuate that I have. This is what he should do:

- apologise to Settle for the letter he wrote to the DPP and ask the Met to reconsider the subsequent actions
- apologise for what he now realises were the false claims against Brittan
- apologise for wasting police time and money
- promise he will be far more careful with future allegations but commit to still campaign for victims
- resign the deputy Labour leadership saying he will stand in the re-election "because the September election would have unduly affected"

That's what an honourable man would do.

Oh well, we have others trying to admonish the Tories of any blame . They pretend to be 'unbiased' but at least J lays his cards on the table.

Asking Watson to resign and re-stand as dep leader is unfair imo. He issued a partial retraction and continues to fight the good fight . You know as well as I do that if he resigned it'd totally destroy his cred even if he got re-elected. He'd never live that sh1t down.

As you said lots of other who have done worde things than Watson could/should apologize. Why go after him? It's a politicised witch hunt IMHO.

Why go after him?

Because someone posted an OP praising him, I pointed out the uncomfortable realities and have had the gang of 4 making nasty comments about me ever since

As if I would back down to insinuations and foul accusations.

Your argument against my suggestion now seems to be that Watson would lose face. Well so he should but it'd only be in his own eyes as he is already very discredited now. He will likely never recover if he does not apologise but he seems to be hoping another 'Jane' or 'Nick' will turn up.

You want Watson's head just like the Tory press, you should really think about what you are saying..

Is he discredited? That's an unsubstantiated opinion of yours.

Seeing as you linked a few false accusations, see this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34718932

Must be very emotive for those effected huh?

No coverup whatsoever..oh wait you said that it looks like there HAS been a coverup? My Steve, how you accused us of squirming..

I don't find what the tories have done to my country funny...

You state it is a hollow argument so is harping on about when is Watson going to apologise he has apologised for what he is guilty of and that should be that...But of course under yours and the tories eyes he should be hung drawn and quartered...I wonder if the truth does out if you and the tories will have the integrity to apologise to Watson..

True, apologies

That BBC article shows criminal incompetence by the CPS for which they have imho been very lightly punished even though it appears no material was disclosed. Fines on public bodies are really no punishment, the courts need to punish the individuals responsible.

Perhaps you could suggest a better word than 'shit' to describe someone who has not apologised for using a falsehood in a letter to get DCI Settle's career effed, for someone who has admitted he levelled false allegations against Brittan yet refuses to apologise and is the #1 suspect for feeding a vulnerable woman's full name to the media. And same someone who rode the crest of the created false wave to become deputy Labour leader

'Shit' seems quite mild really but then this forum does have rules


Just because nothing has been proved doesn't mean nothing happened.


Again the Strawman is brought out for an airing. I guess you too sign up for the maxim of Guilty unless one proves one's innocence"? There seems to be a growing number of such believers down at the Red Nag these days.

There is this developing tendency that has posters here abandoning threads after having their argument/stance comprehensively dismissed as bunkum, foolishly having maintained and pursued erroneous convictions.

A simple statement from them of "I was wrong" would be preferable to "I'm done here".

Everyone on here with the possible exception of J - who is still more honest than you - believes in "innocent until proven guilty". You keep trying to twist things and smear by association but it's not going to work. We just think you're a bit of a silly-head.

- apologise to Settle for the letter he wrote to the DPP and ask the Met to reconsider the subsequent actions
- apologise for what he now realises were the false claims against Brittan
- apologise for wasting police time and money
- promise he will be far more careful with future allegations but commit to still campaign for victims
- resign the deputy Labour leadership saying he will stand in the re-election "because the September election would have unduly affected"

That's what an honourable man would do.
Shocking arrogance in the face of overwhelming evidence that you continue to ignore.  :(

Watson owes no one an apology, end of.

Why? Because despite having the evidence shoved under your nose, and lets not forget you supplied the evidence, It's almost as if you have not read your own links that prove beyond doubt the police did not do their jobs properly, the establishment is without doubt holding back much evidence and the antics surrounding this would barely fool a five year old.

And a honourable man who is not a deputy leader would admit HE got it wrong............

Ta, I accept you believed that

But the content is v poor indeed. They quote this article as the supposed evidence but it manifestly is not such.


And with that I am done with this thread.
There are too many accusations for them all to be false. If a bloody poxy DJ can fool the country just think what a bloody home secretary can do..

Miss you already...its good to see when push comes to shove you can't cut it...

My stance is very simple I work in a profession that if anything does go wrong you have to prove that you carried out your work to the letter.

Ah yes one of your 3: Clarkson, Mrs Raccoon ( I take back what I said - some of her texts are really excellent) and obnoxio (OH/L too I presume, you have a thing for loony libertarians as do I).

No that's a great article re Corbyn. The Watson stuff is typical BYW he fully apologised did he not..?
Err no he hasn't as was proven before

I recommend reading anything that makes you think. Raccoon and Clarkson regularly, OTC on occasion but OH last had the plot when Gordon was PM

Wrong.

And I agree re the 'anything that makes you think'. That is why I stay away from Clarkson. ;) That article was better than his usual cripe.

as we discussed to death he selectively apologised for only one of about 5 things any decent honest man would apologise for.

So to your "The Watson stuff is typical BYW he fully apologised did he not..?" the answer remains no on any reasonable interpretation of 'fully'
