Sun demands inquiry into whether Fox does it with men
AS defence secretary Liam Fox faced fresh accusations of helping a friend’s business interests, the Sun has demanded to know if he does gay sex.
The flat where the Sun claims the gayness may have happened
The News International tabloid playfully tossed aside claims Dr Fox used Britain’s armed forces as a marketing strategy for friend Adam Werrity’s vague commercial ventures and instead made a bee-line for his anus.
Now Labour MPs say the paper’s investigation raises important questions over whether or not a man had slept in Dr Fox’s London flat and whether or not that man had been burgled.
They were backed by voters across the country who stressed they did not care about Mr Werrity’s business interests but did always like to find out if someone is gay.
Tom Logan, from Hatfield, said: “All I know is that Liam Fox has a close male friend and is therefore a homosexual.
“I do think he should resign. Not because I think he’s gay or because I understand the Adam Werrity thing – which I don’t – but because he’s a Tory and I’m not. And surely that’s how it supposed to work?”
But despite any obvious connection between Mr Werrity’s business interests and Dr Fox’s anus, the Sun‘s investigation became politically significant after it was given a ringing endorsement by the BBC.
Media analyst Julian Cook said: “Because the BBC is always right I cannot wait for them to explain the relevance of this.”
Bookies now expect Dr Fox to resign by the weekend based on the journalistic principle that if enough newspapers print enough stories then he will not have enough time to be defence secretary and will therefore have to stop doing it, what with it being quite an important job.
Meanwhile, as Labour MPs said the controversy exposed typical Tory attitudes to government, Peter Mandelson perused the latest instalment of Dr Fox’s troubles, mumbled ‘fucking amateur’ and then checked his appointments diary.
