[Politics] The Trial of Christine Keeler

[Official Old Man]

Interview on BBC Breakfast with Emilia Fox who said that Christine was on the wrong end of a raw deal. I'm not quite old enough to remember the scandal at the time but am addicted to this series.

Indeed, but compare her to Mandy Rice Davies at 70. I'm 51 and I probably would. View attachment 119362

But what would MRD have looked like without the cosmetic surgery? Quite a lot of work done judging by that photo. Her chin's a bit of a giveaway and also just around the lower eyelid there's a definite border line. At least CK's a total natural.

I don't like the look of yours much.

I kept meaning to start a thread myself although I did make reference to it in the thread that I started on the paedophile former Bishop of Lewes Peter Ball, and I drew parallels of how the establishment have always gone to particular lengths to protect their own, an attitude which still prevailed in the case of Ball over 30 years later.

I was too young to remember the Keeler affair at the time but it was something I became aware of later in life and the 1989 film "Scandal" brought it to the public's attention again.

Keeler has always come across with a lot of dignity in the few times I have seen her interviewed.

One was an uncomfortable interview with Sue "f*** me till I fart" Lawley (standing in for Wogan) at the time of the film's release who conducted the interview with an undertone of unnecessary hostility towards Keeler and showing more sympathy for the Profumos, even asking Keeler in an accusatory tone, "haven't they been through enough?" Keeler remained admirably composed and dignified in the face of Lawley's line of questioning.

God what a pompous stuck up condescending bitch (Sue Lawley). It would be like someone saying to Virginia Roberts "Haven't the Windsors suffered enough"

Quite. Just watching that interview really made me want to believe the "f*** me till I fart" rumour surrounding Lawley was true.

Just knocked this out on I-Player - so to speak.

"Do you want to play the part of John Profumo" has to be the easiest casting question ever.

But chance would have been a fine thing, eh?
