Sex or Money

Reading about the Fox  & Werritty affair one begins to wonder quite what the connection is between them is. They seem to have met when Werritty was a student at Edinburgh and he was studying politics and policy. So  that they met was not surprising  what is surprising is their continued relationship.

   If it was just the case of Fox taking him under his wing as a young man with potential one would be less surprised, but by now we would expect Werritty to be a Tory MP, not apparently hanging on to Fox's coattails in the is strange way. Je could have been appointed as a special adviser. Many ministers appoint young people as their gofers. But Fox did not do that so what is going on?


 My suspicious mind thinks of only two possibilities, one is that Werritty and Fox are involved in some complex financial scam and that Werritty does Fox's dirty work so that Fox can appear to be uninvolved for political purposes. The other scenario and one that seems more likely to me, is that they are lovers. It is probably still true that within the Tory party such behaviour is frowned on, at least if it is public. Fox is a darling of the right wing and that section of the Tory party is more given to homophobia that the more Liberal wing.

  If this were a novel the reality would be that Werritty is the love child of Fox whom he fathered when he was 16 but that is definitely life in a novel but it would make a great story and Fox might even come out of it with some credit!
