I know that no harm was meant, and that such rumours exist elsewhere on the net. However when I 'Googled' key words relating to it, Atlas Forum popped up. So I deleted the thread. Attention should be kept away from here as much as possible Tongue

Why delete something that has become mainstream news? If it is the Foreign secretary story...

I'm still confused if this is the story- it is on the Mirror, Independent, Telegraph and Daily Mail websites.  Why would Atlas forum be held to a higher standard?  It would be news because said person would be on government payroll.

It is all over the interweb (indeed the rumour predates the interweb), that....er.....Hang on I can word this within the law.....

In terms which won't upset the lawyers, an elected figure within British politics is alleged to be homosexual.

In terms which will upset the lawyers, MP for █████████████████████████████████████ is rumoured to be ███████████████ ███████████ ███ ██████████ ███████████ ██████████ ██████ with ████ and █████████ ███████. The █████ ████████ on the blog of ███████████████████████ ██ ███████████ with pictures relating to ██████████████████ ██████ █████████. The fact that ███████ █████████████ ███████ █████ ███████ without ███████ ██████████ ████████████████ ██ ██████ although someone writing for █████████████████████ claims they once saw █████████████ ████ ██████ ██████ throught the streets of ███████████████ with another ██████.

Ah, the member for Richmond that rather bald man who is known for looking bad in baseball caps.

Why, though?  While it is a rumour, it has also become news and Hague has addressed it.

Mr Hague has released the below statement about this story which exists/does not exist/should not exist/should be ignored/must be censored [delete as appropriate]...

The special advisor has resigned.

Twitter is on some kind of anti-Guido binge.

It is appropriate question if he was giving government jobs to lovers regardless of orientation.

I take a great deal of pleasure in the fact that this thread has become a thread concerning more and more news on the previously deleted thread's subject. Deleting the other thread in the first place was just stupid. Good work, gentlemen.

He can be attracted to anything he likes for all I care, I'm more concerned about how he and his party are f-cking this country up.

Well, the Coalition are doing no such thing, but that's a separate issue.

I have blogged about this whole matter, follow the link in my sig Smiley
