Liam Fox man friend

[mrmcfister]

What with the foreign secretary sharing a bedroom with a man now this Somerset GP swans off with his friend to Sri Lanka etc etc .The friend has bsuiness cards embossed saying 'Personal adviser to Dr Liam Fox MP'....problem is he has no govt connection and is not security cleared.Fox is head of Defence remember.Also remember he had to repay ?22K in 'expenses' with his other bent colleagues.Where's the trough?

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

"I have met Mr Werritty 14 times at the Ministry of Defence main building over the last 16 months but not in an official capacity," he (Fox) said.

You wouldn't expect anyone to be able to access any MOD facility without necessary clearances and there would be serious consequences if there was a breach. However it seems some people can and there aren't the consequences one would expect.

Jonone:

I think being a guest of the Secretary of State will get you into the MoD building, that's not really the issue here. What is questionable is why this man was holding himself out as an adviser to Fox, when Fox says he wasn't, he was just a personal friend. How come he got himself on an official trip to Sri Lanks and who paid for it? What is going on?

And you really expect politicians to be ethical?? Dream on.

Look what I woke up to this morning from the Independent..

''Adam Werritty, a self-styled adviser and former flatmate of Liam Fox, arranged a meeting with the Defence Secretary for a company interested in selling technology to the Ministry of Defence, The Independent has been told.


The meeting, which took place in a Dubai hotel without any officials present, apparently centred on voice encryption technology which the company, the Porton Group, was interested in demonstrating to the MoD.

The alleged subject of the meeting suggests that Mr Werritty, who was Mr Fox's best man, was able to arrange access to the minister for private companies on matters where they could gain commercially. It also seems to contradict statements by the Ministry of Defence which suggested Mr Werritty had never been involved in official MoD business''

It is alleged that Fox had aims for high office.He is a closet gay and this bloke is his partner.Fox got married but it is a sham and she is rarely seen.He knew the blue rinsers would not appreciate a gay man as head of the party.The boyfriend has been ponsing off Fox for years and they both seem to have got too big for their boots.Problem for Fox is he has Defence questions in the House tomorrow so a weekend resignation was not an option.Pretty sure he will be a back bencher by Tuesday.Cameron wants him gone.

Couldn't care less about Fox's sexuality but I find it unlikely that he will still be in the Cabinet next week.

Having a mate who is not security cleared along at a discussion with the Sri Lankan President and Defence Minister is asking for bother.

It would also appear that Dr. Fox has been rather economical with the truth in a number of his responses on this matter.

Toast I think.

There seems to be about a 14 year age gap between the two. It was said on the radio that the two have been friends for 14 years which would mean that Fox was about 36/37 and his 'friend' about 20 ? Seems a bit dubious.

[mrmcfister]

Jonone..not dubious if he was out.Read today that business people pay lobbyists ?10K a month to get access to Fox.Trough anyone?
