I have to concede that the ONE aspect of the whole barrage of allegations against Thompson that made me wonder if it may have been at least partially unfounded was the fact that NO prostitutes had come out with a story saying they did get money for services from him.
Even though it is not illegal, it would have damaged his credibility in the public eye.
Yet after so many years, none had so far come forward, despite the fact that we already know that they do not limit their choices in how they make money, like most others.
A very significant proportion are heroin addicts, and as such, are usually in great need of money, so any who could prove themselves credible enough, could get a very big payday, from the sleazy tabloid scum, cash for comment crowd.
But for years none took that potential paycheque, bearing in mind that the opportunity to do so disappears the moment that Thompson is found guilty of something, and resigns, or is sacked.
So I have to admit to having very grave reservations about the bona fides of such a claim, at this late stage.

It may prove to be credible, it may not, and the CASH component of the story means that if they go with the hooker with a heart of gold, who just could not bear to see the Parliament brought into disrepute, so is providing her story free, will not be accepeted at face value, and friends or relatives who magically have their mortgage disappear, or discover a long lost inheritance, would also be in the sights of those who would investigate any such a claim. Dangerous waters for a TV station to go be swimming in.

In fact, we may end up with Craig Thompson owning Ch. 9, we could see a whole set of new programming if that happens.
He may start showing, things like;
Ripleys, Believe It or Not,
or Films like;
Shame
Downfall
Outside The Law
Endgame
Deception,
Sex, Lies and Videotape,
as movies of the week,
and one just for his old mate Tony,
10 Things I Hate About You.

I will watch with interest.

You know waiting for someone to come forward who could be dead, would be a long wait. Did you ever factor in that the man was not that great that you would remember him. The hooker could have died. The hooker does not have enough evidence to put herself into a his word against hers fight.

Waiting for a hooker to come forward could be almost fruitless.

This hooker would have to come up with something other than 'yeh I slept with him'

Well the comedy was a little dull and a bit hard to tell if it was sarc, serious or just the mantra of 'he will sue the A off the media'

Looking back at it now knowing it was a joke..... he... hehee...hmmmm

has it crossed your mind these girls might sign a contract forbidding them to talk about their clients?? I would think there are a lot of VIP men shaking in their collective boots to be honest.

if one gets paid to talk at these prices.. WOW watch out.

I bet they nearly did backspins when THOMO claimed there are videos of their comings and goings..hahahahahahahahahahahah squirm squirm

I set it up, anyone with half a brain could have knocked it out the park.

The loony right response should have been, (if they were not all dumber than dirt)

Come on guys, do some of the lifting, I am still waiting to be convinced you know something that I have not been privy to, stop holding out.
What do you guys KNOW, (I am using that in the literal sense, so, "he looked like he was lying", or stuff like that won't past muster) about what has been proven about Thompson, that you are not telling, because I am still waiting to see the evidence.

Well, like in real life, you have to make a judgement call on what is garbage and what is worth your time. This gets you through the day without getting information overload and wasting valuable time that is in short supply.

I just so happened to skip that part of your thread because of the lead up, went into my sifting garbage mode. Quick scan, no thought needed about the content, except if you knew or cared there was a hidden message.

As a worker I have been face to face with corrupt union leadership w working hand in hand with the Government to undermine workers. Leadership must be seen to be accountable and above reproach and using this Thompson affair as a political propaganda tool is unacceptable to the rights of workers. If there has been corruption, then lets see the investigation make a finding or an exoneration of Thompson. Otherwise, I am left deeply suspicious about the agenda of the whole thing.
