Twin rooms - William Hague

[Mick Mac]

Apparently its enough to make you resign.

Surely until recently, on all boys weekends away, twin rooms were compulsory. They were a lot cheaper than single rooms and you could chat and have a late whiskey.

Is there more to this story....

[womanofdulwich]

i think this is a really sad that someone thinks it is a story.

[Mick Mac]

I agree completely. But why resign.

And it is always a lot more convenient for the bumming.

Yes Brendan - very funny - I'm tempted to swear. But I'll turn the other cheek. :)

[Brendan]

In the chap's defence only a straight guy would think that hat and those sunglasses are a good combination.

[Brendan]

Billy Hague's wearing an odd hat too come to think of it.

[Mick Mac]

Yep......we get it.

Hats off to you brenda.

[KidKruger]

who cares who William Hague, his staff or anybody else f*cks

'ooh he's gay' / 'ooh he's straight'

[SeanMacGabhann]

exactly right KK

(unless of course he has supported any ant-gay legisltion in the past? In which case?)

[RosieH]

I'll tell you who cares - bloody Daily Mail readers (see the gay vicar marriage thread) who are core tory voters.

Wankers.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Good point, well made Rosie

[Mick Mac]

My point was why on earth there should be anything wrong with sharing twin rooms.

I have always thought William Hague was a good guy - It would be a great shame if he had an affair of any type esp since he and his wife have been trying unsuccessfully for a baby.

Yes who cares ( other than the woman he's married to ) really

OKAY an analysis of his attire

Black "wrap" sunnies, often sported by "rugger buggers " ( you know "rugger" lots of butch men bashing into each other, then sharing a bath )

Or glasses worn on beach by "voyeurs" as the wrap around shape hides the swiveling eye technique

Next we have the hat: one size to small, brown with "sphincter" logo

I mean, it's not looking good as individual pieces or as a combo, is it ?

Fellas. Whenever you visit a pub (or a hotel) with a male friend, wear a passport-sized photograph of your wife, cut into the shape of a heart, on your lapel in order to dispel any rumours that you might be homosexual.

[*Bob*]

If I was Hague, I'd be telling everyone I was a homosexual.

The alternative - someone who actively chooses sharing a twin room over having his own comfy double - makes him a complete weirdo. One assumes some of the ?40Bn defence spend could have stretched to a double - for the foreign secretary.

[expat]

Is Hague not a millionaire? If I was I would certainly not share a twin room but that is perhaps why I am not a millionaire.

Did Hague not vote aginst gay rights?

not sure about chats and late Whiskeys, more like 'come upstairs I'd like 2 liqueurs'

Anyway don't the England team still share rooms? it'd not like anyone is accusing any of them being gay is it? Oh hold on.

I guess at the end of the day it's none of our business unless they get up to something that can lead to blackmail etc

[Mick Mac]

Usually on weekends away for rugby etc, as if you have not had enough to drink already, someone always seems to have a hip flask....

Personally I think it is the norm for golf trips/rugby etc. I guess it is sometimes a cost issue.

What is obviously different here is that Hague was on work rather than social. In which case it may seem a bit odd.

[david_carnell]

Except that you're all missing the point.

No-one cares (or at least they shouldn't) whether Hague is gay or not. Except for Ffion, maybe. What is a problem is that the Foreign Secretary has hired someone palpably unqualified for the job as a Special Adviser. Now if he did this as an act of nepotism because the boy gave good head then it's a clear breach of both parliamentary rules and morality.

Hague can sleep with animal, mineral or vegetable, I don't care as long as he's good at his job. But he's shown a stunning lack of judgement in this appointment and the idea that a prominent member of the opposition, a married millionaire, would "share" a room with his aide merely reinforces this lack of judgement. If his aide was female everyone would be on him like a flash - why not now?

Number 10 have quelled the flames by making Hague issue a statement, and his personal bereavements are undoubtably tragic, but it doesn't excuse hiring a 25 year old, who's experience amounts to being a driver, as a political adviser on foreign relations.

The millionaire thing is a red herring, he won't be using his own money to pay for hotels when attending conferences, etc.

I disagree. Even if the coalition forced the Foreign Secretary to share a room on trips if I could afford it I would upgrade myself to a single.

No-one apart from possible his wife care who he f**** but if he has voted anti-gay before it is an issue

[woofmarkthedog]

Do other big industries, like banks or trading rooms make (or suggest) that Directors & staff share a room while on company business, even as a cost saving drive ?

I don't know for sure

But.....

[Keef]

At this time of expences in the news, they may have thought it was a top idea.

[Mick Mac]

Surely if they were "up to something" they would have booked two rooms (and used one.....).

I would hope its a storm in a tea cup.
