William Hague

[BillyStubbsTears]

1) William Hague, against all Government guidlines, employs a young, inexperienced male special adviser. (Ministers are only supposed to have two special advisers - this one was his third.)

2) On official trips away, they share a twin room.

3) William Hague is absolutely, categorically NOT gay and nothing happened between them.

So, why has the special advisor now resigned?

If he's resigned because he should never have been employed in the first place, then his employer (Hague) should be held to account for chucking away a £40k salary while the rest of us are being told to tighten our belts.

If he's resigned just because the media have started asking difficult questions of the bloke that took him on, then Hague comes out of this appearing to have the backbone of a jellyfish. Not exactly what you want from a Foreign Secretary who will have to engage in the toughest of negotiations around the world.

I can't think of any other reason why he would have resigned.

But, whatever the reason for his resignation, Hague has some questions to answer.

I don't think he has any questions to answer. Any bloke who can sup 14 pints of ale a day surely can't be gay. Now, if it was 14 Pink Squirrel Martini's....

[BillyStubbsTears]

After supping 14 pints, I personally would not be responsible for where my tackle ended up.

William Hague gay?



Doesn't look remotely gay to me  

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I don't see the issue to be honest, what goes on in his hotel room makes no odds to me as long as he gets the blooming job right.  He's one of the few politicians that actually are quite honest and likeable.

Bent as an Arabs Dagger if you ask me!

He looks 'deeply dippy about the things you say' to me. I'm sure some MP's are worried about the size of their majority than being honest and true to themselves.

I think Mandy and William would make a lovely couple and bridge a great political divide. Their off spring would look like Nosferatu or BST


However, we cannot assume he's gay, just like we cannot assume these fella mi lads are:

Cussy.

Only one of The Village People were Gay. But do you know which one?  

[CusworthRovers]

That's why I posted it.

Seriously though, I thought all of them were. Well I'm buggered if not. I would have to guess the Cowboy, the leather biker and the construction worker have tasted sparra...........ooooooh I just cannot pick one from those 3.

Is this a trick question

How many times do I have to tell thi? I am, in reality on a par with George Clooney in looks. Women wet themselves involuntarily when I sit next to them on the bus. I just put this picture on to stop the rest of you feeling like second-raters.

Could be true, but Gareth Keenan also makes a good point. If William is in deep negotiations with some other country on loaning some money in or out, or if William is sat round the table with the envoys of the Taliban negotiating the release of prisoners, or William is trying to resolve an Anglo diplomatic crisis with the UN........ will he be focused on the said issues or will he be checking out their bums and the size of their crotch?

The point is perfectly obvious.

1) Guidelines are that ministers have up to two special advisers, paid for out of public funds. These are usually highly experienced and knowledgeable people with expertise in politics and/or the particular field of interest to the minister

2) Hague had three special advisers.

3) The third one was this very young and inexperienced lad.

So, to be charitable, Hague is surrounding himself with more special advisers than previous ministers have needed. Which raises questions about his committment to the Age of Austerity that his Government is ramming down our throats. That in itself is a pretty serious political gaffe.

Or, much more seriously, if Hague has actually been having an affair with this lad, he is guilty of gross corruption in using public funds to pay a lover who has few obvious credentials for the job that he is ostensibly doing.

The gay aspect is of no importance. It would be equally corrupt if he was shagging a fit young lass and then took her on as an adviser (paid for by thee and me).

Everyone from Rotherham is a Bummer anyway, whats the Surprise ? :-)

Your personal vendetta againts any party other than nu labour is getting quite pathetic and boring.
You are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, you're piggy backing the gay story to make it more interesting to the masses. Which of course you claim is not the issue. Your main issue is that he has another special advisor, who the f**k cares, maybe he needs one!! the world is huge and very complex, he is the foreign secretary, ONE MAN, to deal with the issues of the world, if he wants advisors GOOD! I dont expect him to do the job by himself, if it makes him better at his job then so be it!

Bumming! so the extra advisor is fully justified :-)

[Jonathan]

Apparently the PM has said he's 100% behind Haugue. I'm sure he'll be backed up by David Laws too.

[Wellington Vaults]

I couldn't give a toss (ahem) about his sexuality.  But as far as I'm concerned, any grief he is getting now is the long-overdue payback for that gut-wrenching speech he made as a precocious and obnoxious jumped-up school boy at the Tory party conference in the 70s.

I can still remember the look of rapture on Thatcher's face as the little sh*t, in those anoying adenoidal tones, praised her \"marvellous\" qualities.

It's just a shame that he didn't get a good kicking on his return home, as opposed to a good rodgering in the showers after rugger practice.

Do me a favour.

As Hague is Foreign Secretary and First Secretary of State he is, subject to David Cameron's approval, allowed more than two special advisers.

Oh yeah. I forgot he was First Secretary of State. That's convenient int it? Nobody knows what it is, but it's a useful cover for Hague being able to lash out more money on advisers than other Cabinet Ministers. The Home Secretary and the Chancellor make do with 2. As did their Labour equivalents.

But Hague of course just HAS to have 3. Or at least he DID until folk started looking into it then hey-presto, one resigns and he CAN make do with 2 after all.

It takes a special kind of naivety to believe that there us nothing dodgy here.

As I say, at best, Hague is making a mockery of the Age of Austerity. YOU plebs tighten your belts. I'M going to spend tax payers' money on a making myself feel important by having more advisers than Osbourne and the like. At worst, it is criminal corruption, using tax payers' money to pay for a lover.

If it's the first, he will survive but be damaged goods. If it's the second, it's a police matter and the end of his career. Either way,  Cameron has been stupid and shown rank bad judgement in allowing it.
