Well, you made that remark, no-one else here - or am I mistaken?

By the way, I should have asked this before, but did you happen to see the full Galloway interview by any chance?


And if I simply let this repeated question ride, what presumption will you make?

Understand?


No, not really Whooda. It's a simple question, and would only take a few seconds to answer. I'm just wondering why you have relutance to do so.
I'll drop it if you wish, but you must admit that by not answering it, others may be tempted to assume things, which I would prefer not to do.

BTW, excellent example there, Lord. (Also, naked strippers in D.C. fountains.)

I didn't mean that British pols have a wrap on scandals, but they're usually on the upper end of the scale when it comes to luridness.


Did you get the evidence for their supposed luridness from a Senate report, by any chance? I would like to ask who, what, where and when, but I know how you are about questions.

I will suggest a few.....Blunkett, a single guy who recently had a straight forward not very lurid affair with a married Woman, who as it turned out was a bit of a game lady, having affairs with several other men at the same time (she is American, I believe). Bit of a mess over fathering one of her babies. Tragic rather than lurid. He resigned.

Prior to that....Paddy Ashdown, years ago....had a fling with his Secretary....dont remember much luridness...straight sh*gging if I remember rightly.

Jeremy Thorpe, who had a gay affair in the seventies, about the most lurid of all the one's I can remember....lots of Newspaper coverage. He resigned and almost disappeared from public life.

Maybe you're thinking of the Profumo affair, back in the Sixties. He resigned I believe.

It seems to happen about once a decade....and this is worse than in the USA? It just shows that British Politicians like to play hide the sausage just as much as Politicians and people of power the world over.

We dont have the monopoly on luridness.

I've always been rather entertained by the sexual proclivities of those in power . . . Richard Coeur de lion, Giles de Raïs (Bluebeard) . . . one of the most hilarious such incidents was Nell Gwynn, who became peeved that her bastard son had not been given a title by Charles Stuart, so she took to seriously addressing him as "you little bastard" until Charles objected, at which point she remarked that he had no other name--Charles thereupon created him Duke of something or other. When the anti-Catholic riots were warming up, her coach was stopped as it left Whitehall, so she leaned out and said: "Gentle, good people, this is the Protestant whore." Old Nell, ya gotta love her . . .

Its commonly known among political reporters that one of our government ministers (at least in the 94-02 governments) was into SM, the M side ... but the media wont ever say who it was/is (I think I can guess tho).

What was about that Tory guy in some sexual affair with the Chelsea shirt (I mean, not an affair with a Chelsea shirt, and it might not have been Chelsea, but you (might) know what I mean).

Besides, everyone knows Brits are pervs.

Then there was Tsarina Catherine the Great, whose insatiable sexual appetite is said to have let to a tragic death when the chains that held the horse up from the ceiling in her Imperial bedroom (to be lowered down over her Imperial bed), broke and it crashed down upon her ... apocryphical, of course.

Yeah, she was too busy turnin' the little Nicholas into a reactionary, religious perv at the time . . . she had no time for sex . . .

However, it is reported in the private journals of the chamberlain to Augustus the Strong, Duke of Saxony and elected King of Poland, that Augustus once asked him how many bastards he was supporting at that time (it was common to pay royal bastards a pension), and the chamberlain replied that he believed the figure was 355.

This is all great fun ... and I am serious here ... (Catherine & a horse?!) but does this really help the spin doctors create the image of Mr. Galloway as an honest, law-abiding family guy who'd never attempt "the deed" without godly hopes of procreation?

I mean, when you have to import average German nobilty to keep monarchy running - that's really pervers! (I see Queen Emma's rooms quite often [go to the library there frequently], nimh, and the Princes of the Netherlands equal a bit towards Britain, too Laughing )

What surprises me is that no such myths attach to her predecessor, the Empress Elizabeth, who truly was a minx. Her father was Petr Alexeevitch, who had a healthy sexual appetite, but sadly, a dull middle class propensity for monogamy--not at all the sort of fun guy his ally Augustus was.

Many people have speculated that Frederick the Great was homosexual. There isn't any good evidence for it, but because he hated his wife, and kept her at arm's length, the stories persist. One particular story (which very likely is true) has it that when he met Augustus the Strong, accompanying his father on a state visit, Augustus attempted to introduce him to the sexual delights of one of his current mistresses--but that Frederick fled the room. Augustus also sent his most notorious mistress, Maria Aurora Königsmark (the mother of his oldest and bastard son, Maurice de Saxe--Moritz von Saxe--who became France's greatest soldier in the 1740's) in an attempt to seduce the ascetic and puritanical military lunatic, Charles XII of Sweden. She failed, to her eternal humiliation. One does come to wonder about "Warrior Kings," who don't want a little nooky, but are content to see people slaughtered in the their thousands.

No, of course not, as FreeRepublic posted on 05/06/2005

LURID....HERE'S LURID !!

Candidate for Senate Jack Ryan :-


Details released from divorce papers between Jack and Jeri Ryan.

http://www.moveleft.com/moveleft_essay_2004_06_26_jack_ryan_family_values_hypocrite.asp

Snippet:- "In her 2000 filing, Jeri Ryan alleged that after she and Jack Ryan left the first sex club they entered in New York, he asked her to go to another. She said he told her that he had gone out to dinner with her that night even though he didn't want to and "the least I could do in return was go to the club he wanted me to go."
She described the second place as "a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling."

"Respondent wanted me to have sex with him there with another couple watching. I refused," Jeri Ryan continued. "Respondent asked me to perform a sexual activity upon him and he specifically asked other people to watch. I was very upset."

He must have British Ancestry somewhere. Sound Irish though, but lurid enough to be a Brit, all the same.

Anyone who had Jeri Ryan as a companion, and were not satisfied with the old in-n-out, would be a perv, indeed . . .

Edited as required re. Jacky boy....my apologies....bloody websites...cant trust any of 'em. Thanks, Tico...you look so smug when you do this sort of thing. Bloody cigar chomping correctionist.

It is now my sworn duty to compile a list of all politicians from around the world, who have at one time, fallen foul of luridness.

See you back here in about ten years or so.

If you guys are finished?

Poor horse. Not standing at stud, was he?

Set..
Are you pondering a relationship (positive or negative) between nooky and the desire to slaughter vast numbers? Sex as the great tranquilizer or pressure cooker release valve?
