Profumo dies
 

John Profumo dies

thing is, these days they would probably not bat an eyelid to such things :rolleyes:

Re: Profumo dies
 

It seems he has long been forgiven though, no less than by his wife - who died in 1998 - who supported him in the immediate aftermath and through the remainder of their lives, which seem to have been well spent.

It is a shame that they still only refer to the scandal - even though, as you said, these days they don't bat an eye at much worse.

Dunno - I bet Stephen Milligans family would probably argue the toss about that one (if you'll excuse the phrase!).

Re: Profumo dies
 

Explain - I can't see the relevance.

Re: Profumo dies
 

I didn't say that it's particularly relevant to Profumo - jus that 'sex scandals' can still serve to shock.

Re: Profumo dies
 

True. But what IS the shock - the 'weird' sexual practices or the fact that the people are stupid enough to kill themselves doing it?

And do people really find it so 'shocking' or are they just excited by the salaciousness of it all...

Re: Profumo dies
 

Well, that surely depends on the person...

Re: Profumo dies
 

He sounds like a bit of a lad to me. What do he do wrong :D

Re: Profumo dies
 

Stephen Milligan died in rather unfortunate circumstances ...

Is this the Guy who had an Orange in his mouth which led to the" You`ve been Tango`d" jokes.?

Re: Profumo dies
 

I found out what that orange was all about ;)
