What counts as social media? Labour MP Emma Dent Coad’s disgusting racist jibes v Shaun Bailey were in a blog. So in today’s public moral code, that’s OK but Twitter isn’t? #someoneexplaintherulesplease

His comments went WAY further than anything Toby tweeted.

Has he had his cock up your arse too then?

Do you think disabled people should have access to education?

So why conflate it with whether or not people vote for Corbyn? It's two separate issues.
-
No it's not. The premise of the critique is that only people with an unchallenging and controversy free past are fit for high office. Julia is suggesting that by those standards few with any idealism would pass the test. Churchill certainly wouldn't have!
-
Corbyn's past is hardly controversy free and 'unchallenging' (!!) yet he's leaving it to the voters rather than relying on his posh mates to put him in power. Just as Churchill did (not that I'm comparing the two).

Fair point about elected vs appointed.

@AmitP327 - if you think these are only offensive “to some”, then we’ve got more of a problem than we thought... -
In comparison to someone who supports terrorists & ignores antisemitism & misogyny in his own party? Ooh, hurty words.

If he went through a formal application process any HR team screening him would decline him as a candidate as he would be a financial risk due to the likelihood of grievances or employment tribunals as he can't behave himself. No organisation would carry that risk.
-
Which raises another important question about the fitness for purpose of HR team screening processes when the process throws up people like Michael Gove or Jeremy Hunt as alternatives!
-
Gove and Hunt are MPs. They are elected by the public. They won't undergo HR screening. I just wish voters would check out potential all candidates before voting. However, there are some seats which are safe and voters would vote for the MP even if he/she were corrupt.
-
I'm well aware of that. My point was that the "Hr screening" you put such faith in is a hammer of a process when there are a range of tools required to recruit candidates, especially senior ones. Every business needs risk takes and idealists. Those processes reinforce mediocrity
-
There's no ceiling for payments 4 sexual harassment and discrimination so big co's won't take risks. As a senior manager Im instructed to do searches and present these as part of the recruitment process. We keep telling grads to clean their digital footprint before applying.
-
Says who? Big companies will and do take risks. They won't be able to attract the right mix of entrepreneurs and mavericks and innovators to spice up the blend if they don't. The status quo is fine in an up market and you have the right ingredients in place. How many do?
-
We have a global market of innovators. We don't need employees who say they want to sexually assault women & make comments about kids with learning disabilities. Stakeholders would pull business and the risks too high. Surely you understand brand management and reputation risk
