On behalf of my client Big Ears, I deny the libellous innuendo on these pages and shall sue immediately I am in funds. It's the innuendo that does for most defendants in libel actions, not the bold assertion of something as a fact but the hint in the words used.

[FredPuli43]

By the way, I never see what is defamatory in saying that someone has had sex nor even if that sex was outside their marriage. Does that lower them in the estimation of right thinking people nowadays? I bet the French don't think so, nor ever have.

[humbersloop]

Yeah, but laundry and camping gear on top of the wardrobe?? C'mon Fred, standards

[netibiza]

I think society is much more tolerant of extra-marital affairs than it used to be, hey half of Britian is having them allegedly. The Profumo case was such a big deal in the 60's, who is really bothered nowadays? It's the secrecy of it all that I like, I don not really care who did what to who (whom?)

[Ellipsis]

neti, when this comes out, and the implications are raked over, I think you will find it's a much bigger deal than the more sensational alternative suggestions ...

[emmie]

neti, the reason that Profumo case was shocking wasn't just the time, but that he denied it any number of times, not to mention that he was having an affair with someone who was also involved with a Russian, thought to be a spy, so a matter of national security.

Well, the Daily Mail has certainly achieved what they set out to do - cause people to speculate and probably buy their rag to get the next installment when it`s available.

[netibiza]

Ellipsis - you do not think she was at it with DC also you?

[ladybirder]

Ooops!

[netibiza]

but em these days russian spies and affairs just do not seem so bad, to me at least. My father-in-law worked for Special Branch, and he explained all about the lying, in fact the lying appeared to be the worst part of it.

[emmie]

yes it was, if he had admitted it none of what followed would likely have happened.

[chrisgel]

I have just watched the video referred to by several people in this thread and I am convinced that the maker of the video is a) a nutter and b) going to be in a lot of trouble.

[Ellipsis]

No neti. If you want to see why I think this is such a big deal, Google the following phrase:

site:dailymail.co.uk ""

for example, if it was Noddy and Big Ears, your search would be:

site:dailymail.co.uk "Noddy" "Big Ears"

Then take a look down all the results - at least the top 20 or so - and you'll see why this is going to be a big story, if these are the two people ...

[Ellipsis]

Oops, my search got filtered. You should search for:

site:dailymail.co.uk "[insert woman's name here]" "[insert man's name here]"

for example, if it was Noddy and Big Ears, your search would be:

site:dailymail.co.uk "Noddy" "Big Ears"

I also tried googling his name and the DM and there seems to be little connection.....strange for a journo. He should shortly expect a visit from MI5 or the men-in-white-jackets.

[askyourgran]

There was an 'outing' about someone 6-8 weeks ago when DC was 'shocked' and said he didn't know anything about it. Suddenly it's been hushed up. Can't for the life of me think who it was.
These things do happen, it's just the thought that the people who you voted for are behaving like that on your time. Picture John Prescott having a knee-trembler yuk.

[jno]

they're not on your time 24/7, ayg.

[netibiza]

gosh yes Ellipsis, see what you mean!

I like the parallels with Christine Keeler - 1962 - which I remember well at erm primary skool. I wasnt very good at reading at that time, but I think at one point her pimp set of a shot-gun outside the house of a love-rival

Harold MacM knew that the war mininster was lying in parliament
when he gave his speech and that did not stop H McM congratulating him on a great speech at the end.

John Profumo (dead and you can't libel a dead man) used at dinner parties thereafter say to teenagers - have you been to bed with a 70 yr old ? You should try it....

well really ! readers

Denning the judge appointed to carry out an inquiry was chosen because it was known he would be side lined by the sex bit and not the reds-in-the bed bit.

Dorothy McM was not er kissing Harold by this time and and was heard to boast: I am a one-man woman and its Bob Boothby

Lord Boothby according to wiki fathered at least three kids by various wives of other men but was also not a stranger to public lavatories, Krays etc
see wiki again and flush

Now readers, compared with what is available on the internet to night

I am one of the people who say ; 'who?'
