Sandwell Conservative Councillor Alan Burkitt (pictured, at his most alluring) has been found guilty of pimping a woman with learning disabilities to more than 20 men ( not at the same time, I presume) via an internet site. This distasteful man was previously Deputy Leader of the Conservative Group on the Council before his arrest, and before that he had been a Liberal Democrat. According to his solicitor Burkitt was apparently also prepared to sell his own body,
"He allegedly thought both of them could put themselves forward to earn money on the site, but to nobody's surprise there was little interest in him."
What makes my mind boggle is not that people think this is a good thing to do, but that they think they can do this and still be fit to represent their community.
BTW, I have just passed an Act of Parliament on my blog.
Iain Dale is cock a hoop with his interview with the director of Amazing Grace. I find it amazing that the film only has a token black presence in the cast and none anywhere in the extras!

Bob, it reminds me of the very old joke about the lady of the night who when asked how much she had earned said one pound four and six. When asked who was the tight git who gave her the six pence her reply 'all of them'. Now that he has a record perhaps the fascists will welcome him in.
Don't know what the fuss is about. Sounds like a good Cameroonie to me...
1. An obvious Thatcherite who embraces the spirit of entreprenurial capitalism.
2. A believer in Equal Opportunities as he offered himself as well as his partner.
3. Believes in applying mainstream employment to people with disabilities.
4. Tax avoider.
5. Chinless wonder. Has the ability to suck an orange through a tennis racket. (Would probably charge extra).
dizzy, I haven't seen or heard of the film, so I've no idea what you or John are on about.. but it does seem a bit like making Spartacus with no Romans.

I wonder if there is any significance in the absence of this story on Iain Dale's Diary? Or, why the Tory blogger Guido missed it?
