The former Lord Mayor of Coventry, U.K., is still fighting for his political life. Now just a councillor, Andy Matchet was initially given a three months suspension from his office, but it is on hold as he seeks an appeal.
Last December, Matchet, loaded with medications for a bad back and flu, also partook in his share of wine at a ball.
As it happens with men who mix a little alcohol and drugs, Matchet cast his eye on two attractive women and started up a conversation with them.
You know, the kind of conversation where you start talking about women’s orgasms and the age that you lost your virginity. Small talk, stuff like that.
It is not just any woman that Matchet struck up a conversation with but the equality and diversity officer for the council.
Or, as Matchet describes her, a “radical feminist.”
With that in mind, plus a high alcohol content, Matchet let his desires out.
“I’d like to fuck you,” Matchet said.
Then he twice asked her if she would like to “fuck him.”
Matchet says that he can’t remember the conversation but says that he would only have been trying to banter with a “radical feminist.”
I don’t know how many men go up to feminists and say, “I want to fuck you.” However, I bet few walk away and claim they do not remember every saying it.
Matchet was lucky. This lady was mature and firmly, but politely, rejected him.
Matchet, on the other hand, besides having a faulty memory, must be dumb as a brick for every asking such a thing.
I forgot to mention that Matchet, as Lord Mayor was host of the ball, and attended with his wife.
Even if Matchet defeats the suspension, it is unlikely that the local Conservative Party will reselect him as a candidate for councilor next year.
My hunch is that this year’s ball will not be quite as spicy.
