I wonder if their MPs provide the services found at ours.

Our MPs get up to all sorts!  Well at least they used to in the Conservative government days.  Going on about 'family values' while they had mistresses etc.  I'm sure the Labour lot do it too, they just don't get caught as often as the Tories did!

Hi Carrie:

Labour gets caught just as often... its just that they are such known sleazers that it is really not that newsworthy.

P.S.  Carrie, did you notice the salutation at the top?  Didn't want to appear rude.

Unusually he was neither Labour or Tory but a Welsh Nationalist (Plaid Cymru) - and yes he was focussing his attention on the matters in hand when he suffered his (fatal) heart attack.

Hi Carrie,

I seem to recall reading that there was a junior minister in Mr. Major's last government who was found dead in a rather embarassing state: hog-tied with something stuffed in his mouth and wearing a ballet outfit? His portfolio was something like "family values."  My memory's really vague about this -- anyone recall it?

Stephen Milligan, Tory MP and junior secretary to the Arms Minister, died in early 1994.

His semi-nude body was discovered in his London apartment by his housekeeper, who stated she had not expected him to be at the apartment over the New Year period. He was wearing items of women’s underwear and had a chord tied from around his neck to his ankles.

A piece of orange was found in his mouth, fuelling speculation backed by Government press releases inferring the MP had been engaged in the bizarre solitary sexual escapade during which he used amyl nitrate poppers to heighten sexual release.

Makes dying in the arms (hands) of a girl at the massage parlour seem like a peaceful way to go.

How the heck does the latter lead to the former? :)

Thanks for the refresher course -- that story still makes me laugh years later.  (But then, I'm a fan of macabre humour) :)

puff, thanks for the spec on that unfortunate orange related death.  I remember that one.

As we both know, Welsh MPs have been caught doing far more newsworthy stuff than Scots MPs.  I just wonder if Welsh 'civilians' are as interesting as their elected members ;)

I've often had the impression (from Welsh nationalists, to be sure) that the Welsh are more lusty than their Scottish coutnerparts. :)

"most lusty than their Scottish counterparts" - present company excepted, I hope ;)

Yep - gotta agree with that one - and as the lesser known of the celtic nations - we're more than happy to prove the point on any occasion.

Of course saying that doesn't mean we'd denigrate the other celts - and certainly would make an exception for the lovely Carrie

BTW - Amyl Nitrate - Oranges - apparently to cover the bitter taste of AN - although none was found with the body - otherwise why an orange though?
