Unfortunately he won't be remembered for his formidable intellect or his biting Yorkshire wit, but for wearing that baseball cap at the Notting Hill Carnival, and his claim that he could sink 14 pints in a day.Foxy Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492883615536847926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-39136614684276382142011-01-20T12:18:54.466+00:002011-01-20T12:18:54.466+00:00Trouble is Hague has been invisible for months, ev...Trouble is Hague has been invisible for months, even before the SpAd/bedroom/hotel story. <br /><br />And I guess the visit from HoC is routine when certain names crop up.

He did not sound like the major international statesmen one would expect in a Foreign Secretary.<br /><br />Given that "Today" is a fairly safe environment for him, he was singularly unforthcoming, but in an unforthcoming way, not in a mirror flicking, cards to the chest way.<br /><br />He certainly sounds like somebody who is on the way out.Wrinkled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291551539649118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-76910017127693149572011-01-19T20:47:48.165+00:002011-01-19T20:47:48.165+00:00Thank you Foxy.

Fraser is a reliable cove so I guess he may be on to something. <br /><br />Interesting that you say Hague was a bit quiet on Today, hardly his usual form.

(May I point out, I picked up a discarded copy in a pub - I didn't actually purchase it!).<br /><br /> Hague sounded like a neutered bull mastiff when being interviewed by Sarah Montague on yesterday's edition of the Today Programme. The episode was obviously an ordeal for him, and I had the feeling that he had lost the testosterone that powers politicians.Foxy Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492883615536847926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-85411044222593458482011-01-19T18:52:30.369+00:002011-01-19T18:52:30.369+00:00Has William Hague been seen in Oxford Stret, Sydne...Has William Hague been seen in Oxford Stret, Sydney, though Newtown is perhaps more discreet.<br />And when he visits New Zealand, will William Hague be calling at Family Bar in K Rd, Auckland, or dining at SPQR in nearby Ponsonby?FAIRFACTS MEDIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278035907912171422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-40170830828277030072011-01-19T17:44:07.213+00:002011-01-19T17:44:07.213+00:00Supine is such a woody word.

Report this and we'll hand you some favours - tea at No 10, access to minsisters - bit like Mr Hague's friends come to think of it. Cross us and you'll never work in this town again. You're editor won't publish it anyway - he has his gong to consider, his dinner at Chequers, etc.<br /><br />It's patronage or exclusion. That's how our free press works.Jim Baxterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817293012642419524noreply@blogger.com
