Chris Huhne...........

.........claimed £119 in expenses for a trouser press

Methinks it was probably for his Bisexual lover by the look of her!

looks like huhne has been putting his/her/it head in it

[123everton]

If he's comfortable with her sexual appetites I don't see the need to mention it, is bi-sexuality illegal?
Or is it just the Daily Mail.

[joeluke]

Whoooooosh, that's obviously gone right over your head everton!

[jake-the-peg]

Wow this is a seriously homophobic piece of trash journalism from the Mail isn't it?

[OrcadianOil]

Suits you, sir!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joeluke]

jtp......which part(s) of the article is/are homophobic?

[jake-the-peg]

Well the immediate jumping to stereotypes of Doc Martins for a start

Then we have the nice bit about her promoting (not supporting you see but promoting) gay policeman Brian Paddock

I'm sure she's supported many causes but they pick this one out to give the sly impression that she supported his candidacy because he was gay - great advantage is they don't have to say it and risk being sued.

And lets face it by now the Mail should have had quite enough experience of the Libel courts

I enjoyed the last bit best, "the loyal wife", what's he doing with a butch trollope like that?
Affairs used to be resigning matters, not anymore it seems, if that's the case it's a non-story and I wish all parties all the happiness they deserve.

jtp
But these are only homophobic comments to certain people, the ones who comb articles, pick things out and try to MAKE them homophobic

I wore DM's for years as a teenage lad but I'm straight

and if you look in any thesaurus the words promote and support are linked

"what's he doing with a butch trollope like that?"

Who are you refering to, his wife or his mistress?

[jake-the-peg]

Yes

Thing is he rather heavilly played the familly life card during the election.

There's a bit of a difference when they do that.

Thats why this sort of thing tends to be a bigger problem for right wing politicians than left wingers - they tend to make a big thing of "familly values"
