Mr Garnier admitted asking his secretary to buy sex toys for him and calling her "sugar tits,"

Sugar tits !.....why has this man not been suspended ?

Good grief! I'm going to have to go for a lie down in a darkened room!

You want someone suspended for saying "sugar tits" ?

He needs a stern word from someone that is all.

[mikey4444]

And when he asked his secretary to go out and buy him some "sex toys" YMB......just needs a stern word ?

[Mamyalynne]

I do hope his Secretary told him ( politely of course ) to do his own shopping and stuff his archaic nicknames in the shredder.

[dannyk13]

She is his former secretary.

[Mamyalynne]

As she should be.

[albaqwerty]

It's been reported that he said it in a spirit of ''high jinks''

errr, not to the person on the receiving end.

[Lie-in King]

Stupid man.

Fair play for his honesty ... still a stupid *** though.
Did she buy the vibrators or tell him to f off?

[jourdain2]

Frankly, she should have told him to do his own shopping - I would have. I wonder what his wife/partner has had to say about all this, assuming he has one.
The 'sugar-tits' comment is different and more worrying. Depends on the age of the secretary. Again, I'd have done a 'Lady Bracknell', but a young woman might not have had the confidence. There should have been some system whereby he could be firmly admonished and made to apologise. Just the existence of such a thing would make people think twice.

Wonder what Theresa would say if Boris called her ,
"sugar tits"

[mikey4444]

Strangle him with one of those sets of huge beads that she is so fond of wearing I would imagine Gulliver !

[Islay]

Do you not like her choice of jewellery Mikey?

[mikey4444]

Islay......yes, they are very striking .....especially those big silver-coloured chain links. One of my sister-in-laws wants some for Xmas !

[bhg481]

Our local ironmonger sells some very nice heavy-duty chain which would make a nice necklace. Well, as nice as some of the ones round people's necks, anyway.

Because he is still under investigation, Labour have other ways of dealing with their wrongdoers, their leader asks them to stay.
