I see caught on video in a nightclub shifting the face of a young lad who isn't his partner. Personally I couldn't care less but the silence of media today is worth noting. Would it be so silent if

1 - it was a woman TD caught snogging a man who wasn't her partner

Or

2 - if it was Mary Lou McDonald (this would be front page news for 6 months)
Or another male td shifting a woman...

Of course.
Anyway, Leo's business is Leo's business, as is Mary-Lou's and every other politicians. As long as everythings consensual then the media don't need to be telling us about anything they get up to

All well and good but if the shoe was on the other foot LV would slaughter Mary Lou if it had been a member of SF caught in the act. In fact he'll probably say SF edited it to look like him ::)

It's a TikTok video. Can it be 100% verified that it hasn't been altered in some way? That's the question I'd be asking if I was an editor. Otherwise risk getting sued.

would they be bothered if it was any of the scenarios Itchy mentioned?

If the source was unverified? yeah they would be bothered I'd say. getting your employer sued is not a good look.

Imagine someone coming onto a thread to announce they aren't interested in the topic being discussed. I remember somebody doing something similar on the Celtic thread recently:

So is the Leo thing just going to he brushed under the carpet then? 

Mind the days politicians would have resigned for such shenanigans. Are people afraid to pull him because he's gay and they're afraid of getting themselves tied up in knots or is it more his mates in the media looking out for him?
