Is William Hague's wife getting a bum deal?

**Biped** · 02-09-2010, 10:16

Well, that comes across as pretty categoric in terms of denial. Then again, just to keep the thread going, so does 'we acted completely within the rules'.

**Cuddles** · 02-09-2010, 10:22

Yes, categorical denial. Might as well shut down here. When was the last time an elected representative of the British populace made a false denial about sexual or financial impropriety after all? Or was found to have exercised poor judgement? Nope, our work here is done, come on Tonto, let's get a brew.

It's comes across to me as a politician's answer. Designed to give the impression of having said one thing by saying something slightly less catergorical.

No-one would deny that there are plenty of heterosexual virgins about (most of them on this site) so why not a few of the other persuasion too?

Ultimately I dont care whether he's poof or not. He's a Tory and that is far more offensive.

Great more political scandal and another British foreign diplomat with an iffy reputation. As if Milliband wasnt enough. You'd think we would deserve a break. We get another international diplomat who when he shows up gets sniggers from the macho boys and winks from the other light footed boys. (Sigh) Why cant we just have a normal bloke?

But.... in his defence....I like to see the good in people.....Was he not sharing the room to cut down on costs - their campaign was a bit of a 'war campaign' wasn't it? Plus the likelyhood of the possible coallition result was foreseen and the likely-hood of a second ellection campaign in late 2010/2011 so surely resources were managed very carefully. Not making excuses but wasnt this more like the reason?

Surely?
Possibly?
PLEASE?

He is a normal bloke; he comes from Yorkshire and drinks 14 pints a day, how more normal do you want?

What a load of nonsense. I can't believe no one has pointed out the glaring flaw with this allegation - no homosexual would dress like that.

Riiight. Quote "is utterly false, as is any suggestion that I have ever been involved in a relationship with any man" Unquote.

Yep, definitely skirting the issue there, the dirty, double-talking fairy. The man's obviously an absolute master of deception.

In the morning I'm going to look up your first gobshite posts.

Is it me or has Jim30's post disappeared? You know the one that included the words 'apparently' and 'allegedly' is it smeared WH with insider info from a friend of a friend of a cab driver who's cousin saw WH across a crowded supermarket fourteen years ago. Or maybe it was Jimmy somerville? What the hell, unsubstantiated gossip never hurt anyone, did it?

The (possiible) weasel words in there are "involved in a relationship". A bit of dry bumming in the office of a Friday afternoon is not a relationship.

If the POTUS can get away with "it depends on the definition of sex" then the above is much easier to defend.

Well we bloggers appear to have cost a young gentleman his job as a catamite (Ed: special advisor surely?) and should all feel pretty mean after saying what we did about Ffion's ass, when obviously she is still retaining a bit of fluid after her latest D&C...

Well if what said in here becomes reality ;- I'm fucking The Saturdays!

Clinton was a fool. He could have said 'I did not engage in sex with that woman' might have been technically true (assuming it was only a BJ). Instead he said 'I did not engage in a sex act with that woman' which left him nowhere to go once caught out.

WH's use of the word 'relationship' is catagorical. In anyone's book it means either long term loveness, or a ten minute shag. In fact, I can't think of any word he could have used that would be any more definitive.

**Cuddles** · 02-09-2010, 14:59

Clinton was the victim of the American development of the English language, which has seen simple concepts like "now" become "at this moment in time" and the logical and highly plausible denial "I did not shag that munter" morph into his now familiar form of words.

WH could have been more categorical and cut to the chase as far as the tabloids are concerned by saying "We didn't bum or nosh off each other." Though I suppose that would still beg the question whether they indulgeed in some mutual masturbation or light frottage? Politics is so much more complicated than it looks at first sight.

Having give the matter careful consideration, I have decided I don't really give a fuck who's drawers Hague rummages in.
It's an internet rumour, Hague has vigorously denied it all, some poor sod has lost his job.

Hague is no fool, he knows that if his categoric denial is proven untrue then his political career is over.
He would have admitted it if it was true. His career would survive being caught out as a puff, it wouldn't survive being caught out on a lie on that scale.
