When rapists are Right-wing we, rightly, hear all about their crimes. But not so much when they're Left-Wing, says Steven Tucker. Which is probably why you've never heard of the alleged crimes of this gay rights activist.

Jump To Comment: 1High level EU corruption right. Who are we to talk? Talk about black-assed kettles slagging off the pots. The state here is twisted to the core but our biggest problem is that there seems to no other possible applicants to take the place of the creeps in place.
If we were to expose the list according to 'dogs on the street knowledge' and sort them out with the offences taken from the PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2001 we would have to not just import half of the population of Poland but also the entire Polish parliament (presuming that they are not corrupt) and their entire state service as well to make up the deficit.
Just think about what you know for a fact about the goings on here in Ireland, then look at the list below and imagine that if you are just one of thousands who could put one of them away…the mind boggles.
PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2001
2.—The Act of 1906 is hereby amended by the substitution of the following section for section 1:
"1. (1) An agent or any other person who—
. (a) corruptly accepts or obtains, or
. (b) corruptly agrees to accept or attempts to obtain,
for himself or herself, or for any other person, any gift, consideration or advantage as an inducement to, or reward for, or otherwise on account of, the agent doing any act or making any omission in relation to his or her office or position or his or her principal's affairs or business shall be guilty of an offence.
(2) A person who—
. (a) corruptly gives or agrees to give, or
. (b) corruptly offers,
any gift or consideration to an agent or any other person, whether for the benefit of that agent, person or another person, as an inducement to, or reward for, or otherwise on account of, the agent doing any act or making any omission in relation to his or her office or position or his or her principal's affairs or business shall be guilty of an offence.
(3) A person who knowingly gives to any agent, or an agent who knowingly uses with intent to deceive his or her principal, any receipt, account or other document in respect of which the principal is interested, and which contains any statement which is false or erroneous or defective in any material particular, and which to his or her knowledge is intended to mislead the principal shall be guilty of an offence.
(4) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable—
(a) on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £2,362.69 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both, or
(b) on conviction on indictment to a fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years or to both.
(5) In this Act— 'agent' includes—
(a) any person employed by or acting for another,
(b)(i) an office holder or director (within the meaning, in each case, of the Public Bodies Corrupt Practices Act, 1889, as amended) of, and a person occupying a position of employment in, a public body (within the meaning aforesaid) and a special adviser (within the meaning aforesaid),
(ii) a member of Dáil Éireann or Seanad Éireann,
(iii) a person who is a member of the European Parliament by virtue of the European Parliament Elections Act, 1997,
(iv) an Attorney General (who is not a member of Dáil Éireann or Seanad Éireann),
(v) the Comptroller and Auditor General,
(vi) the Director of Public Prosecutions,
(vii) a judge of a court in the State,
(viii) any other person employed by or acting on behalf of the public administration of the State,
and
(c)(i) a member of the government of any other state,
(ii) a member of a parliament, regional or national, of any other state,
(iii) a member of the European Parliament (other than a person who is a member by virtue of the European Parliament Elections Act, 1997),
(iv) a member of the Court of Auditors of the European Communities,
(v) a member of the Commission of the European Communities,
(vi) a public prosecutor in any other state,
(vii) a judge of a court in any other state,
(viii) a judge of any court established under an international agreement to which the State is a party,
(ix) a member of, or any other person employed by or acting for or on behalf of, any body established under an international agreement to which the State is a party, and
(x) any other person employed by or acting on behalf of the public administration of any other state;
'consideration' includes valuable consideration of any kind;
'principal' includes an employer.".
