...middle aged men here? The lesson being, if you're going to be posting potentially embarrassing pictures, at least wear a gimp mask and don't use your real name.

no sympathy .. what is a minister for civil society ?

[sandyRoe]

Perhaps he has responsibilities for advising on matters of etiquette on social media?

[anneasquith]

not anymore though :)

Especially those charged with running the country, not a wrinkly porn site.

The best of the best, eh? Hell mend him and as to his family's privacy, he should have thought of that himself.

[sandyRoe]

From now on he could stand as an example of what not to do.

[Prudie]

why why why do people want to post those kind of pictures anyway?

[sandyRoe]

Maybe the reporters posing as a young woman asked, with the promise, 'You show me yours, I'll show you mine.'

[Baldric]

It doesn't say it was a Female Reporter!

[Mamyalynne]

//It is alleged the reporter was posing as a young female activist//

[sandyRoe]

It does. :-)

[Mamyalynne]

If anyone should be on the alert for traps,if that is what this was- it should be exactly those in his sort of position.

[Baldric]

Oops, missed that bit! . .

[Svejk]

[janbee]

I doubt if anyone will feel any sympathy. Silly old phart !!

Thanks, Svejk. I'd have missed that.

[Svejk]

I thought it would interest you. ;-)

So why is the BBC tying this story in with Mr. Reckless' defection to UKIP ?
Surely not some hidden agenda ?
