Well quite.
But I'm not sure Hague is one, or if he is, nothing has ever been confirmed. So best steer clear of that sort of thing I dare say

Well, if ever you were to be trapped in a lift with him you would probably come out unscathed.

It was indeed our very own William, though it was a twin room, apparently he did it to save money!

Afterwards the researcher said 'William, William, it was really nothing'.........or was that Morrissey?

Ah ok. Well I do like to see our elected representatives thinking about saving the taxpayer money.
There's still another one I'm thinking of though. Can't recall the name. Was definitely a Tory, & also wanted to save money by having his close friend/ advisor sharing his hotel room. Can anyone refresh my memory?
Alan B'Stard? As played by the late Rik Mayall.

Statesman of quality....you must be joking
One day his double life will be revealed, and will be seen for the hypocrite that he is

I've just remembered. It was Liam Fox.
Who, it should be stated quite clearly on here, is a happily married man to Mrs Fox, and whose good friend Adam- who accompanied him and shared his hotel room on a number of parliamentary, taxpayer-funded research trips to luxury overseas resorts- is nothing more than a close, platonic male friend and business advisor.
Don't know why it even stuck in my mind, frankly. Nothing to report there at all.

Oh Bozza, why did you have to say that after this previous faux pas ?

I'm sorry, but not even in that low-brow low-intellect piece of "journalism" does it back up the "fact" Ernest stated and you're suggesting it corroborates. Or am I missing something?
Sorry, what?
Hague is a career politician who has (a bit like Prince Edward) had his sexuality questioned for a long time. Apart from bigots and morons, no one holds this against him. Hague shared a bedroom with his friend, whether that also involved sharing a bed is something only two people know.
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01702/Hague_1702434c.jpg
Given that he is aware of the question marks over his sexuality, it was a pretty dumb decision to share a bedroom with his 25 year £30,000 a year aide, just as it would have been the case had it been Boris Johnson and she had been female.
To then bring his wife's miscarriages into the equation when discussing the incident smacks of the mawkish exploitation of personal tragedy that other politicians, including the likes of Cameron and Brown, have been guilty of when it suited their needs. It also questions his decision making abilities.
The Now Show on Radio on 4 recently featured Jon Culshaw doing an impression of William Hague saying "Reeta Chakribarti."
How every time Hague appears on TV I can't help myself sitting there, saying "ah-Rrreeeetah Chakriiiii-Baaarteee..." in a soft Yorkshire accent. I shall miss that.

Regardless of personal issues, he failed as Foreign Secretary because of his gullible enthusiasm for the so-called "Arab Spring."

Loses a general election to a landslide then becomes Foreign Secretary and First Secretary of State a few years later. There's always jobs for the boys in the Conservative party.

Scary little f*ck, even in 1977. Always thought that over-exaggerated deep voice was fake. No kid speaks like that outside of a Harry Enfield Tory Boy sketch.
This, this, this.
Whenever I've seen him speak he's seemed a reasonable and intelligent politician, no knee jerk sounds bites ( unlike both your posts ). I rate him as a politician. All parties have those decent politicians like him - Alan Johnson, Danny Alexander, Emily Thornberry, David Davies, Anne Widdecombe, Andy Burnham, Menzies Campbell to name but a few.
The problem is too many people eff and blind about politicians because they hate that politicians party rather than the politician being a bad person. Sadly there are too many thick people who can't see past party politics.
