Norman Baker, ever the opportunist

[Curious Orange]

Channel 4 News covers John Prescott's affair with his secretary, and who is the first person to appear and denounce him - our friend Mr Baker, wouldn't he just LOVE it if Prescott resigns.

He has a letter in the Daily Telegraph today pointing out that since 1997 seven goverment ministers, including Clarke and Mullin, have given up their ministerial cars so why can't Cameron.

He could equally well have pointed out that seven government ministers have been shagging their secrateries or taking backhanders, so why won't Cameron?

He was on SCR this afternoon arguing with Jeremy Clarkson. What a busy lad.

Oi Baker!

Answer my f***ing Letter will you, instead of PONCING around having a go at other politicians - get your own SHODDY house in order first

Was Baker REALLY denouncing Prescott for shagging someone he shouldn't?



I may just have to tell a story.

If I were a cynic I would say that the Prescot story has only come out to deflect from Clarke and his inability to do his job. If you have a story about Baker then it is surely in the public interest. However, timing does seem to be everything doesn't it?

 

[Everest]

You haven't been seeing Baker in private, have you LB? Have you, have you, have you?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Having now found the item on the Channel 4 News page ...

... it would seem that Baker is asking whether it is reasonable for a Minister of the Crown to use public resources to support his nookie.

I would simply ask the following question:-

Is it reasonable for a Member of Parliament, caught in the act by a jealous husband, to call upon public resources to support his nookie, by phoning the police and getting Mr Plod to turn up and investigate the assault that inevitably occurs in these circumstances?

My thoughts exactly and I am a cynic.

I've never understood how Norman Baker has never been challenged on the contradiction of his transport policies. He attacks car usage, but when we try and build something based almost entirely on public transport access, he doesn't like it.

However, I don't want to interrupt Lord B, who was about to say...

... guess which MP I was talking about, 4 posts up?

Look at his face. Looks like liver spots from my point of view.

Gosh, Lord B. Are you suggesting that NORMAN BAKER is a SHAGGER of some kind?

(By the way I was at a dinner party about 5 years ago with what turned out to be some gay Lib Dems from Manchester. I mentioned Norman for some reason and one of them said: "Oh yes, Norman's got a LOT to offer."

I never managed to persuade him to elaborate, or get to -- ahem -- the bottom of the story.)

Is this going to be a story that's going to be revealed drip by drip.

I like it: NSC's very own soap opera.

Well, well, and there's me thinking he was a complete wanker.
