UK - Mystery sex affair stuns UK prime minister's office, spurs crisis talk

[wfgodot]

Now, surely this can't be it - AC and RB? Is that all? Anyway, Musical Interlude #2 - a song which might be said to form a possible example of RB's own internal monologue:

RB does have that "rode hard and put up wet" look there, certainly. Bad morning for her.

Actually, I was thinking of the way his face looks like this::sick:

You didn't just go there, did you? OMG....:floorlaugh::blushing:

 

[wfgodot]

Part of my ploy. I think RB will go for that American Man of the Midwestern Plains frankness. She wants taming, that one.

 

[my_tee_mouse]

Could Bill Clinton be one of the "parties involved"?

:dunno:

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

As an Arkansas resident, I vote this!

This thread is killing me! :floorlaugh:

 

[wfgodot]

So has this "scandal" done its job yet, do we think? Has it provided a little cover for the lobbying scandal? Have we bought yet the coalition's promise of "anti-sleaze reform," are we fallen in line with thinking Number Ten's statutory register of lobbyists might have any effect?

Are we absolutely convinced, on the other hand, that this alleged scandal does not perhaps have something delicious to do with Prince Andrew and a pack of jackals?

I'm dying here. Dyin' I tell you. Dyin' and you are to blame. And no, I haven't updated my will yet to include you, Bobbles, and RB. So, you better hope I do it before you manage to kill me...:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

Well, it's done it's job in tryin' to kill me about twenty years sooner than I planned on dyin.' LOL:floorlaugh:

No, Randy Andy, please...Those last few minutes I have left, I don't want to be thinking about him...OMG...:floorlaugh:

Well, if it's Randy Andy, "close your eyes and think of England," as they say.

As long as it doesn't frighten the horses it's allowed. AC and RB prove it.

(Though that might make the horses decidedly skittish.)

IF it was Coulson and Brooks, WHY would that cause a crisis in the Prime Ministers office? I must be dense....

Good question, which is why I think this whole affair (so to speak) is merely being used as a cover to mask the lobbying scandal and buy David Cameron time.

Coulson is a former spin doctor for the Tories and Cameron; Brooks is a "family friend."

Of course there is more to this than what I know (obviously!).

Snipped:

"close your eyes and think of England"

Oh to have known this advice while I was married to my ex.

Coulson was Cameron's press officer, and gave evidence to the Levenson enquiry asserting that the News International hacking scandal was all down to one rogue journalist and Brooks had nothing to do with it. They're both up in court in September on charges of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

We probably shouldn't be talking about this, come to think of it. We're probably committing contempt of court, if indeed it is these two.

Another musical interlude for your (reading?) pleasure...

As long as no one takes to Twitter and does a Sally Bercow-like *innocent face* I think it's safe for now.

. . . They're both up in court in September on charges of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. . . .

:floorlaugh:

You've gotta admit they did a thorough job of it.

 

[Cappuccino]

Their names are already all over twitter. I wonder if that was the Daily Mail's intention all along - start a whole load of Internet gossip about these two before a judge has had a chance to rule on whether this is admissable, then their lawyers can argue that they can't get a fair trial.

MORE BACKGROUND 16 July 2011 (Daily Mail)

Rebekah vetoed BBC man and told Cameron he should give No10 job to Andy Coulson

 

[wfgodot]

From the Twitter this a.m. (with Ross Kemp being the husband at the moment).

Mister Neil Kulkarni ‏@KaptainKulk 1h
So all that brouhaha & it's just Coulson and Brooks? Unless Ross Kemp's seeking vengeance in a Cobra Assault Chopper not interested, sorry.

Twitter actually fairly restrained, last night and this morning, anyway, possibly tweeters self-shushing after the McAlpine debacle.
