How surprising this all isn't.

If our glorious leaders can so easily be undone by hacks and bimbos, how much more likely are they to be vulnerable to the likes of the KGB I wonder. I doubt they average MP is much of a target but what about those higher up the parliamentary food chain? :shrug:

Makes you wonder.

I imagine MI5 take a much keener interest in the personal lives of those who progress up that good chain.

Yes I'd like to think they've seen Scandal too... ;)

I reckon Corbyn's sudden rise has caused a few sleepless nights for our spooks.

Don't get that reference. :confused:

Maybe. It's probably harder for an elected leader out of nowhere to be stopped. A minister or shadow minister? MI5 could have a quiet word with the PM/Leader of the opposition. They can make sure no one with issues makes it high enough but if the membership just elects someone then what can they do?

The image Chris posted is of John Profumo

Quote:

Although Profumo held an increasingly responsible series of political posts in the 1950s, his career ended after he had a sexual relationship with the 19-year-old model Christine Keeler in 1963. The scandal, which became known as the Profumo affair, led to his resignation and withdrawal from politics, and it may have helped to topple the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan.

Ah ok. I knew who Profumo was but haven't seen the film.

It was certainly before l was born but sadly 50 odd years later some grubby MP's are still at it.

The French admire the politicians' sexual dalliances....

I would have been three years old so some of the nuances might have been lost on me.

That man redeemed himself totally in the years that followed imo. It'd be good to see the others follow his example

I assume you're referring to the affair as opposed to the film 'Scandal' made in 1989 which is what I was referring to. ;)

They're not all which would have been lost on you at that age. Not so much now I suspect though... ;)
