Conservative Foreign Secretary Denies "Gay" Rumour

William Hague strongly denies any gossip that he is Gay.He and one of his Aides shared a Room at an Hotel
on occasion while on Official business but nothing should be read into this. He and Fiona have been trying
unsuccessfully for Years to start a Family, he let it be known that the latest attempt failed earlier this Year.

Wondered when a thread would get started on this. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Hague is gay and find it very odd and manipulative that he has used the sadness of his wife's miscarriage to try and suppress this rumour... What has their problem conceiving got to do with him being gay or not ? Now I don't care if he's homosexual , although I don't like the hypocrisy involved if he is, but he used public money to pay the salary of a man who was unnecessary and inexperienced.

The fact that the two of them chose to share a room at a different hotel from other campaign supporters is a bit strange. Is Hague prone to such lapses in judgement ? Is he naive ? Not very reassuring qualities in a Foreign Secretary!!

I used to think what a good debater he was in the Parliamentary Sessions and that he would have made a good PM. As they say, there is no smoke without Fire and his comments about Fiona"s miscarriage were rather a
childish attempt to prove his masculinity. What is it about Politicians?? How come we can"t elect decent
Candidates who are never going to rise above Backbencher status?

Those people who aspire to public life should live by higher moral standards than those that they are governing or passing judgement on. Instead they have over the years changed and manipulated the law not only of the nation but nature's law of same sex couples cohabiting as man and wife.

It looks very much as if Hague will resign, apparently the Weekend Press are going to give him a drubbing.
Those interviewed on the News last night said it is hardly the done thing for a high ranking Politician to share a room with an Aide, it certainly wasn"t to save money.

silly sod should have laughed it off along the lines of "...and how many men shared a tent at last weekends' rock festivals." give the story nowhere to go.

The whole Hague debacle is proof that you can't escape from the internet's ability to reveal things politicians would rather keep hidden. . How much longer can the McCanns keep the wool pulled over the public's eyes ?

I agree Panda that Hague is now politically a 'dead man walking', but no doubt some will blame Guido Fawkes rather than Hague's own lack of judgement and rampant hypocrisy!!

To quote a comment on Guido Fawkes..there is now some 'Dianafication' of Hague going on on the Mail website:' Poor Hague..how can anyone imply he's gay and ruin his life like this by forcing him to reveal details of his private struggle to conceive..' sums it up! Incredible how terminably naive some Mail readers are...

Christ same old stuff from these politicians isn't it, but Hague I thought was one of the "good Politicians" how wrong I was, them that shout the loudest always have the most to hide, if he had ignored it or had some silly coment then yer I would not have taken any notice of it, but them that go out of their way to deny it always end up been found out, the bloody papers will be digging the dirt now thats for sure.

By the way no I dont believe they needed to share a bedroom to save money, so why would they have done it?

Mr Hague.......

Hmm!! Miss judgement or what? I mean if Willie Hague wanted to get his rocks off, then surely he could have been a little more discreet? Why share a room to give rife to these rumours. I have no idea if he is gay/straight/bi, and I don't care, but if somone as high profile as he is on a campaign trail would be so misguided, then there will be trouble. IMO it is some dirt coughed up by the opposition.

Discreet fred, I dont think they want to be, all part of the thrill of it, but what a price to pay, not only his job but probably his wife as well.

As for his wife, surely she must have suspected something or perhaps it was a marriage of convenience on both sides? She provided the camouflage for his true sexuality, he gave her the status and money??

Status? Ffion wasn't a dumbo, she had a career and wasn't in any way his inferior? what would she gain by marrying a high profile puff?

Yes, but there's a difference between having a career and being the wife of a leader of the Tory party and potential prime minister.

EEEEe!!! Dunnnnnno!! Fed, I'm not disputing, but eekk!! She hasn't been in the news or highlights for years, well since she got married so why now? I like Ffion she is lovely looking so I ain't dissing her!!

I agree that she's attractive, but how can she not have known about Hague's 'alleged' preferences ? IMO the proof is already in the photos, which were the media's way of 'outing' Hague before he scored the recent own goal with his ill-advised statement. Can't understand his reasoning behind the statement, especially as he had asked for a super injunction IMO.

With the Coulson phone hacking story in the news, I wonder if the press don't already have proof of the true nature of Hague's relationship with Myers? Wonder what they might have on the McCanns too??

Actually, I feel quite sorry for Hague, whatever his private life is, it is between he and his Family and what harm
is he doing to anyone else? I think he was one of the few who did not try to fiddle his expenses and there are
probably many Politicians who have skeletons in their cupboard. Why he was singled out to most certainly
now have to resign I don"t know, but it seems a spiteful thing to do, he"s not accused of selling State Secrets.,
being disloyal to his Party, failing in his duties, child molestation.

Jacqui Smith had to resign over the far less serious matter of a cheap porn video. Hague has employed Myers at a cost to the tax payer of about 33,000 pounds per annum. If the media can prove that Myers was his lover then Hague will have to go IMO.

As I've said, I don't care if Hague is gay or not, but this kind of nepotism in politics is not acceptable.

I agree anyone in Public life should set an example , but apparently, this Aide has credentials, he is not someone Hague picked up off the Street, Hague has been very stupid but also whoever outed him has been vindictive. IMO. We all know Politics in Britain and most Countries is corrupt, Blair boasts about his concept
of New Labour but he bankrupted Britain both morally and economically.

The SpAd has a history degree ( from Durham) and a further qualification in law. Hague already had two special advisors. At a time when the government is making spending cuts and telling everyone else to prepare for austerity, is it right that he has taken on extra, unnnecessary staff at the tax payers' expense ? Can politicians justify cracking down on benefit fraud etc and then give highly paid government jobs to their boyfriends and other cronies ?

I don"t know how much Departments are allowed to claim for Staff but the Foreign Office must be one of the
most important Departments in view of what"s going on in the World and Staff far more valuable than say Media. Is £33,000 that excessive with this Aides qualifications? Jacqui smith admitted when Gordon Brown gave her the job of Home Secretary she was totally inept. Fiddled her expenses to the ridiculous and greedy
point of claiming for a Blue DVD Rental.

How do we know that Hague was giving jobs for the boys.? This Graduate could have been appointed purely on
Merit and only afterwards a relationship developed with Hague, who as I have said has been outed more out
of spite than a dogooder trying to clean up Parliament.

I agree with you that the motives of the person who outed Hague are doubtless far from honourable.

As I said in my 1st post, I liked Hague he seemed tobe one of the "good honest " politicians, it will be a great shame that he goes, if he does? but I have to agree Fed if he is upto no good whether this been brought out of spite or not they imo have to go, for supposedly intelligent people, these politicians are still doing and making very stupid mistakes.
Panda not just Smith they all seem tobe very inept imo, why dont any of them learn from these mistakes, must be their arrogance, as Gerry will one day find out, arrogance comes at a cost.

In my London days I was an active member of the CND and we collected thousands of signatures to deliver to
an MP at the Houses of Parliament. He was one of these old Buffers who we knew was not in the slightest bit
interested in our Campaign . That was in the sixties and nothing has changed, in fact more Countries have
nuclear capabilities. The days of Government for the people by the people are long gone, my own MP being the
exception. That"s why I feel a bit sad for Haigh, he probably would have made a good Foreign Secretary.

The problem is that any clever person these days is not interested in Politics, they are Investment Analysts,
Advisers, Bankers, in fact , any job which will make them money.!!!! Most of those who do enter Politics are in
it for the Kudos, not like in the old days, to serve their Country. Sadly, it"s the few who make to Cabinet Positions and Prime Ministers who for the most part have climbed on the backs of others to get there. The Kinnocks are a prime example, not one achievement between them yet they have made Millions.
