[cite]Posted By: MuttleyCAFC[/cite]Trying to be politically neutral, I think the fact that he shared a room with his aide doesn't mean much. If he wanted to hide it as he surely would have, you would have thought they would have booked 2 rooms and used 1. Footballers still share rooms, that doesn't mean anything. He should have answered as above, but the way he has reacted has fuelled the story and it does make you question his judgement. Still, I don't think it is something he should resign over. Blunkett and Prescott had affairs as I seem to remember and the gay nature should be neither here nor there.
It's not the affair - true or not - that will cause him the problem. It's giving his room-mate a 30K government job over better qualified candidates that could bite him on the arse. Excuse the pun.
[cite]Posted By: Goonerhater[/cite]You have to laugh how long ago is it the Guardianistas on here were screaming their heads off defending Sol Campbell for taking out court cases against people who slagged him off on a footie field for being gay---- but the very same people are now "outing" Hague for being Gay.
Eh? This all started with a Tory blogger, Guido and was taken up by the Mail and the Telegraph. Nothing in the Grauniad until after Hague made his statement and then it's all been pretty supportive of Hague.
Yes, the story has developed because he handled it poorly. Think it shows we were fortunate he was never prime minister. Still, reading Blair's recent interviews, it is frightening to think he was once prime minister (and I voted for him).

You have to laugh at people who can't understand the difference between a single footballer and a married elected MP and who is foreign secretary.
Personally I hope none of it's true and that he and his wife can get on with their lives.
Yes. it isn't about being gay but cheating on his relationship which I think he is probably innocent of btw. If the aide was female, we wouldn't even be speculating that he was having an affair but as I said before he would have booked 2 rooms wouldn't he. He clearly didn't think he had anything to hide and the room he booked was a twin, not a double I think I have read. Now it has become about much more than that - namely favouritsm, mis use of public funds and lack of judgement.

Dude, if he had been sharing a room with a 25 year-old female then he would be in very hot water too, no doubt about that.
The point is not the reality of whether he shagged him/her but the perception that he might have done.
[cite]Posted By: Goonerhater[/cite]He cant be gay -- he dosnt have at least two chat shows, presented a BAFTA award and been voted sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny .

Saga. Without wanting to continue a pointless arguement with you, my lame attempt at humour has obviously irked you. I Apologise unreservedly.
I rest my case.
sits back
puts feet up
Yeah, that makese sense???
I don't see how most of this is anyones business, if he's gay, so what? If he's unfaithful to his wife, so what, thats between them as well.
Surely the only thing that has anything to do with the public is the employment of the aide. Anything more than that is prying, imo.
i think there's a fairly healthy mixture of both left and right. But wish BOTH sets would go and get a room.
As mentioned by most its not his political leanings we are talking about here anyway.
Fair point but I'd have to be bloody curious to rim another fella (or woman for that matter!!!!)
that's what I thought. If rimming is just being "curious" I've let a very sheltered life
: - )
How about slick legging? That's bound to get this thread sunk
Each to their own I guess ;-)
We must have the most Guardian readers of any football club in the country especially on this board.
I would probably rather vote Taliban than Labour but got to laugh at some of the lefties talking about wasting public money etc etc....
Seriously Labour last 5 years LOL...
It should.
We'd be allowed to say it if were part of the clique but cos we're not they will sink this thread.
does string of pearls count?
no but a Taco Fondue does
and the term red wings should
I'm blushing.
Fisting anyone?
I've seen your hands so no thinks but gerbilling?
Eye balled
and the pillsbury doughgirl
You ********* sicko
