William Hague

[thedarkman]

My solicitor, who is a notorious scandal monger, told me years ago
that William Hague bats for the opposition. Mind you, he said the same
thing about Gordon Brown.

I can't believe either of these men are in a lavender marriage but it
is rather, erm, embarrasssing.

And your solicitor's source of information is?

I'd have thought that someone in such a trade would have known that such a
comment is slanderous.

Is it slanderous? When was the last time someone in the UK
successfully sued over such an allegation? I was under the impression
that the legal system had more or less decided that calling someone
gay was not likely to lower their reputation in the eyes of
right-thinking persons, and therefore was not defamatory, regardless
of whether or not it was true.

We live in times when such comments can injure a person's reputation, hence
Hague is responding to them.

Is it slander if William Vague actually *IS* a bum chum?

Only if it's untrue.

Well my solicitor told me that the LibDems have got into bed with the
Tories - so it looks like they're all at it!

I think it highly unlikely Willy Hague is gay.

The whole story looks like a non-story created for a laugh by someone, then
perpetuated by the jolly old internet and anyone daft enough to fall for it.

I wouldn't care if he was gay: I just don't believe he is.
