Fashion faux pas or fess up time
« on: September 02, 2010, 07:43:55 AM »
So dear Mr Hague has been forced to defend his 'honour ' , as a red blooded hetrosexual male with fertility problems  ::)

I couldn't give a flying fig whether he is gay , straight , bi or a raving liberal . However it is ffing ridiculous to conclude that because he and his wife have suffered numerous miscarriages  it must mean therefore that he is obviously straight and not attracted to men in any way.  ::)



That he choose to share a twin room with the other gentleman concerned, who has now resigned, because there were already 2 other people doing his job , doesn't look suspicious at all either  ::)

I guess he was just trying to cut down on his expenses and thinking of the taxpayer  whistle:

What aggravates me about all this is that they will keep on about the now two occasions when he was photographed wearing a baseball cap. He is a young man, he is bald, he would be bloody stupid to go out in the sun without a hat on. The press would have really had a field day if he had, like Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Pastis and me, gone out wearing a Panama Hat. In any event on both occasions he was wearing jeans ~ what other sort of hat does one wear with jeans and not look a total fool?

As for sharing a room with a colleague, this was always company policy with my last employer. Shared rooms are cheaper, simple as that. What they got up to in that room frankly is of no concern to anyone but them.
This is just certain members of the gutter press trying, once again, to break someone else's marriage. They did it with Charlie Kennedy, they have tried it with the Blairs, they did it to Clinton and to numerous Pop Singers, Film Actors and Sport Players...... the list just goes on and on. The higher up the ladder in your chosen profession you manage to climb the harder they try to bring you down.

I agree to a certain extent Snoops but it makes my noodles boil with all this nonsense that your sexuality in any way affects your ability to do your job.

And the justifications to disprove such allegations means divulging such personal information which the general public will then be satisfed and comfortable with  evil:

Well I can honestly say that my sexuality has never had any bearing upon my employability.

I don't think the general mass of the public actually give a monkey's.

To my mind what makes this Hague business worse is that the "better" media (is that an oxymoron?) are now hammering it for all they are worth. The Today programme featured it several times with "special" reports from "Our Deputy Political Editor" (A non job if ever I heard of one), mentions in every half hourly "Headlines Round-up" and a telephone debate with some failed hack who used to work for a political party and an academic from a jumped up polytechnic...... The Telegraph have it as front page news, again using the same photograph taken over a year ago of the two men walking along a street. All this under the pretence of indignation at the "gutter" press for making so much of the allegations and defending Hague's response.

it is ffing ridiculous

Is that how you spell his wifes name?

All I can say is, I don't care, but he has burned his last bridge with the public, categorical denial, if it should turn out that he has ever raised a shirt by even a millimetre at any time in his life.

Do me a favour!  lol: lol: lol:

Do you seriously think they shared a room to save a few bob on their expenses...?  ::)

Their almost unlimited expenses...

And isn't he a millionaire too...?

Then he puts the guy (his driver remember) in a top job which is already covered by two others...

Even IF this guy was a completely talented genius in the roll why were two other staff retained when he joined the team?

Hague should be sacked for wasting public money and then sack him again for brining the government into disrepute... then again for being a gayer...  lol:

On some bloody mission to Brussels a few years back I ended up sharing a hotel room for a week with a guy I had never met!! Fooking room was so small we had to take it in turns to get dressed  eeek

ANyhoo

Of course not ~ I am saying that many organisations do force this room sharing onto people. Depends who is paying the bill. I also said that what ever they did in that shared room is between them and none of our business. It may have been that there were no other rooms available at short notice, that the arrangements were made by others (perhaps the Local party) and probably paid for by them as well. But the point is that it doesn't matter.

As for whether the guy should have be appointed to the job ~ who knows? Office politics? Getting ready to sack someone else. Hague needed a local driver with local knowledge to nurse his constituency, returning a family favour. Happens all the time.

I would agree that it has been a massive error of judgement on Hague's part, which is odd as I have always thought he had more savvy than to fall into such an obvious media feeding frenzy but let's not forget this is a very old story that is being puffed up out of all proportion by a media that has sod all better to do than harass ignorant and poverty stricken cricketers who barely speak any English, wax indignant about the Royals, give Blair more publicity than he deserves and for good measure they think they have found a way of satisfying their agenda to "catch" the new government out.
Frankly I think we are also to blame for debating such a non issue.

Personally I don't think it is a non-issue...  noooo:

Ignoring the shared room, possible impropriety, how dare he find a job for his mate on £25K of public money...  noooo:

And no, I'm sure he isn't the only one or even the worst of many... but he HAS been caught out and he should go...

Just IMHO...
