Liam Fox
Looks like he may have been caught breaching ministerial codes regarding favors for his 'male best friend' who pimps weapons out.
Still at least he hasn't been caught sharing hotel beds with him.
What do you reckon?
All looks a bit dodgy.

Very dodgy, but are we surprised?
I thought the Tories were bad in '97, but were totally out sleazed by NL since.
Hopefully this lot won't try to set new lows, but who knows what else is being kept under wraps?
Still pales compared to Brussels, IMO.
Shoot the lot of them!

Wasn't there a chap called Mark Thatcher who made millions out of contacts because I seem to remember him knowing someone quite senior in Gov't

Can't think why such a possibility was even hinted at since there is no proof of that, just a scurrilous bit of reporting.

Fox must be one arrogant man if he thinks he can just brush this off. His 'mate' set up health companies when his was shadow health secretary, then defense companies now he is defense minister. Had dozens of 'meetings' at the MOD, gone around the world together on trips...all despite having no official position.
This is the sort of thing you expect in 3rd world ....he's quite obviously been sorting his mate out with access to this and that for financial gain.

So where the **** is it coming from ....???? 
As with 99% of these "issues" follow the money trail from source to destination and the whole thing becomes clear. And no, I don't know the trail in this case. I do know that several papers and TV channels are on the case though... 
So, whatever they're out to get him or not, at least we'll get most of the truth.

It's pretty obvious Leslie, but anyway being a gayer isn't the problem.

I can make no pronouncement on what was going on as far as his"advisorship" is concerned, but I think it is wrong to accuse them of a homosexual relationship unless there is a positive reason to do so.

The burglar said they were in separate bedrooms!
Anyway - who cares if he was gay - having an unofficial adviser paid for by Isreal and some defence companies was enough to topple him!

The Good Old Tory Sleeze ...
.... is well and truly back again ......... as usual .......
Fox resigns amid inappropriate actions .... oiling the Bank Account of one of his friends ...
It's a shame, as I did respect Fox more than most in the Tory party .....
I'm not claiming that Labour MP's are any better, they aren't - they're all at it!!

Mandy is, was, and will remain an outstanding Polictical animal .... he is what we need at the moment. He as the backroom master, Blair as the Charismatic Leader, Brown and Darling who are the rulers on Financial subjects.
Instead, sadly, we have Laurel and Hardy in charge (Osborne and Cameron) and, as such, will be the laughing stock of the world .......
Anyway, this is to do with MP's sleeze .... not the current Governments destruction of the UK.

Dr. Starkey: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) on how many occasions Israel Defence Forces personnel have been invited to the UK for discussions with (a) Ministers or officials of his Department and (b) members of the armed forces since 2005; and what topics were discussed; [311032] (2) what areas of expertise of the Israel Defence Forces that have been shared with (a) his Department and (b) members of the armed forces. [311033]
Bill Rammell: This information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Israel is an important strategic partner of the UK and, as part of that relationship, the MOD has an ongoing and wide ranging dialogue with the Israeli Defence Force and Israeli Ministry of Defence. This engagement is in line with HMG's policy of supporting the Middle East Peace Process by having a balanced relationship with the Israelis and the Palestinians. Recent areas of discussion have included regional defence issues, the Middle East Peace Process, and the UK's role in training Palestinian Authority security forces. However, detailed information is withheld as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice relations between the United Kingdom and Israel.

All the military H and S posters will have to be changed to reflect the change of Defence Sec.
