Q, are you suggesting that dancing and other sexually encouraging activities might have been involved??[6][/quote]Oh Wooly as sharp as a barbers razor as always.

[/quote]I don't think she is a winner in any way. Some form of sex act involving semen does not seem to be in dispute - though I have not followed the case as assiduously as others so maybe that has been disproved. I seem to remember a statement from the DSK lawyers along the lines that any sexual act, if it took place, was consensual. If I am remembering it correctly, weasel words like that cannot mean anything other than sex of some form did take place. With a hotel maid. That being the case, DSK is a pillock... I don't believe in a conspiracy here or in set ups but allowing for a moment that it was a set up, how could he have made it any easier for the perpetrators? If anyone threw a career away it was DSK himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A high profile politician, chairman of the IMF, possibly a future president of France, what on earth possessed the man. Was he that stupid not to think that he wouldn't be left open to blackmail or that the woman would not sell her story to the highest bidder and that's based on it being consensual. If it wasn't what else did he think was going to happen, the police would say never mind don't do it again? Sadly it seems that this is a prime example of a bloke who allows whats in his trousers to rule over his brain. A sad example of a man and a disgrace to his sex. France should think it's self lucky that he will not now stand for the presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think that apart from the 'fanatical' public sector workers who would hope that as President he would leave wages, pensions and retirement age alone or possibly undo anything done currently most people I have talked to who may of voted for him before wouldn't vote for him after all this. Apparently the French have the same saying, "no smoke without fire" and that's what those to whom I have spoken to first hand have said. Anyway very few people of his age in recent times have ever made a comeback from this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough justice but justice anyway .[:)][/quote]I don't want to be pedantic here but in my view he has not had justice. Justice in this case would be a court case and him being found not guilty. If you are innocent but have been accused of something I would have thought you would welcome the opportunity to prove your innocence once and for all. Unless that is you have a few more skeletons in your closet that you don't want people to know about. As it is he has been cleared but not exonerated as many French journalists have pointed out. He now has to live with this uncertainty as does the party he represented (or represents, whichever). By the next time he can run for the presidency he will be 66 at best or even 67 years old and I think people will want a more younger person who is more 'in tune' with the people and in particular the young people. Yes he may make a 'comeback' in to French politics but not to the level to which he once aspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
