I always felt that story was more driven by tory homophobia than the press, who've rather had their hands burnt by public indifference to gay stuff of late. And judging by the way things have panned out, it looks like there was no there there which, if they'd wanted to shoot across the bows, they'd have picked something with a little more substance than one photo that tweaked one bloggers gaydar. keep to the Fen Causeway
Well its a story that has long legs, there have been rumours reaching back 15 years about Hagues sexuality. If there is more to it (and I'm not saying there is), it would be a reasonable way to send a message, Even if there isn't anything to it it shows the ammount of damage a malicious press could do Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
