Newsnight Fri 2 Nov please watch v Important you know who is running the country

[MrsjREwing]

Tom Watkins tweeted a seniour politician will be outed tonight and Max Clifford said on Daybreak shocking news will be released by the BBC today.

I'm just totally bewildered

After I've read this thread and all the cryptic clues I barely remember my own name, let alone anyone elses

"politician" is different from "political figure" isn't it?

I didn't even spot that

claig I do hope you're right, but I fear it's all going to be covered up again and generally forgotten about by Joe Public, just like HLG was covered up and forgotten about..

misshilly i've just checked his wiki page

Who on earth in bb6 wS close to Thatcher. Are we talking celebrity bb..?

NigellasGuest, I think it depends if the media is really in competition or if it is all just a charade, and if some media want to gain advantage.

Viva just check the lust of contestants that year and it's pretty obvious.

We don't really understand how it all works and why the media seemed to protect Savile, but I think some media is in competition with others and will have lots of information.

Yes I remember the contestant, a v posh (ex) mp I think, black.

It is apparently linked to Peter Righton and Tom Watson's comment in the HoC the other week. Link to children's home in Jersey - Haut de la Garenne.

list not lust Fuck me, that was an unfortunate typo.

shutthefrontdoor yes it's him, he wasn't an MP but a political advisor and connected to The Lord who is being named tonight.

Didnt you watch channel 4!

Might as well have said the name.

The Spanish-sounding MP, the floral one and the one named after a country were all the subject of an awful lot of gossip in the 90s, when they were ministers (last one was minister under Thatch, the others under Major I think although may have been juniors under Thatch).

And openly gay.

He was a speech writer. The politician is ex Tory party treasurer and deputy chairman but before John Major was PM.

BB6 guy worked at a PR agency in Pimlico mentioned or linked to earlier in the thread

And openly gay

So?

Blimey

So he prefers boys to girls

Well connected if you believe the article.

The only possible connection whatsoever that I can imagine between being gay, and paedophilia, is that back in the shameful bad old days of it being illegal to be gay (certainly to act on it) there was scope for blackmail.

The very illegality of homosexuality could have created some dreadful conditions of coercion and manipulation.
