Laugh a minute. Now more people are getting done for being friends with people with no illegality.

I am happy to raise new debates about this because it is about principles.

1. What is the job of an MP or politician. They are supposed to represent people in their areas.

So first of all that needs to come under scrutiny - what is the job of a politician. I would say that fundamentally if you are a politician, if you have someone who comes to you and says "I want help" your job is to help them.

= constituency casework

2. Friends of paedophiles

Let's take Prince Andrew for example, because it is obviously the right person to use as an example.

We are talking about fundamental principles here. Is the idea that all of their friends and family should never speak to them?

If that is the case then we have to look at what happens to that person in society, if that means they can't have family, friends, probably means they can't get a job, that would qualify probably under international law to become a refugee to be able to apply for asylum

If the society treats the people so badly that

- They can't seek help from an MP
- Can't have a family
- Can't have any friends
- Can't have a job

So under international law it would appear if the UK gets to that point, it needs independent international scrutiny

It needs to be seriously considered.

I am not saying parliament should have a paedophiles rights bill but let's just say that this is the position that the country moves more towards that position.

Lets run this by ChatGPT to see what it says
