Once again an example of one law for the people and one for the political class. A French minister who confesses he is a pedophile, a British MP who was employing a cleaner illegally and neither of them arrested for breaking the law. I thought we lived in a democracy where everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. Instead we find ourselves in an oligarchy who are above the law and above accountability to the people who put them into office. Shameful.

He is a disgrace to the government and should step down from his post.

Mr Sarkosi comments are totally unacceptable on this very important issue. Where has he been lately ? what if his own son was one of those boys ? This is not about the law beeing broken , and it is certainly more than what is right and what is wrong . Takind side with a pedophile is accepting his crime as a way of life.
