Lee Jasper: New Sexual Scandal Rocks Respect.

with 6 comments

Man with Sexual Harassment Issues as Respect Candidate.

Lee Jasper to Contest Croydon North.

Why did Japser lose his previous job?

From the Guardian.

What a stupid reason to lose your job. Most of us will remember these embarrassing messages long after we can remember who funded which London charity from whose budget. And the whole mess would have been easily avoided if Jasper had thought twice before clicking “send”. The recipient of the emails, Karen Chouhan, said that the messages in which Jasper declared he wanted to “honey-glase [sic]” her, embrace her, or see her in a bikini, were “just banter”. I hope they were, but that doesn’t really matter. Some people would call it harassment. Whether or not Chouhan sees the funny side, these emails could easily be construed as sexual harassment, including, as they do, comments about appearance, body or clothes, indecent remarks and requests for sexual favours. Most people who read these memos would just call them a little bit icky.

Believe me there’s a lot, a lot, more from where this is coming from.

  1. Has Galloway got a death wish? This is just another nail in Respect’s coffin.

    • Japser is a joke on the left, but this one is not funny.

  2. Interesting. Respecters of Terrorism, Respecters of Sexual Harrassement, Respecters of Rape, and now Respecters of Hitler, Jew Hatred and the Holocaust. What does Respect actually respect that is moral, decent and noble?

  3. What will be of interest here is that he can now be asked where the three and a half million pounds of Londoners money that he disappeared from the LDA went. It really is a sign of desperation by Galloway, his Respect faction and Jasper to be pulling a stunt like this.

    It is also going to focus attention on the money that was embezzled by Simon Woolley and Operation Black Vote through the Black Londoners Forum that has yet to be fully examined. All in all it is going to be an interesting few weeks.

    • The more you think about it (not much) the more bizarre this stunt looks.

      As you say there’s that and a hell of a lot more.

      So what is Jasper getting out of it?

  4. Evidently “Respect” and Lee Jasper in particular is so blinkered in the BBH of purely London life that they have not done any homework on the life of others as seen by the others in the big bad World beyond the M25. Just as well I left Dixon of Dock Green land for The North fifty years ago.
