Brit PM caught in No 10 sex scandal
Source: Fairfax NZ News (stuff.co.nz)
Speculation is rife about an illicit affair in the halls of 10 Downing St, which it's feared could bring down the British Prime Minister.
According to British media, Cameron has held crisis talks after a story on the mysterious liaison ran in The Mail on Sunday.
Those involved in the affair apparently can't be named for legal reasons, but the Telegraph reported Cameron was "shocked" to hear the news.
It was understood neither party was a senior government official, but the Daily Mail said Cameron was "stunned" by the news, the importance of which he realised "immediately".

Mind you, most of those rumours appear to be based on little more then guesswork.

(101,310 posts)The story says it's not a cabinet minister having the affair (and that, on its own, wouldn't be enough to 'bring down the PM' - it would depend on who the other person was). If it was, say, the wife of a senior cabinet minister and a senior No. 10 adviser, then it'd be embarrassing, and the adviser might have to resign. But Cameron has survived having an adviser, Andy Coulson, caught up in phone hacking (now charged with both hacking in that case, and perjury in the Tommy Sheridan case).

Perhaps they are trying to take the heat off of Murdoch by destabilizing HMG?
muriel_volestrangler
(101,310 posts)Neither the Mail nor the Telegraph are owned by Murdoch. The Times and The Sun, which both are, have no sign of it at all on their web front pages.
Whether that's linked with Rebekah Brooks, mentioned below as a possibility, being a close friend of Murdoch, and ex executive of News International, the publishers of the Sun and Times (as was Coulson), who knows?

(42,239 posts)That is somewhat more than "apparently" and after a significant Twitter related prosecution recently the name/names are staying off there too. Its possible that a super injunction is already in place anyway.
If you search "guido fawkes No.10 secret love affair" on Yahoo and read the links you'll come across some likely suggestions within the blogs with regard to which you can make whatever you want.
Whoever grassed to the Mail on this subject I consider to be a real rat.
muriel_volestrangler
(101,310 posts)because they've counted a rather dubious site as 'news', which directly names the 2 people it thinks had the affair in its headline. If those 2 are the correct people, I would say "doesn't surprise me at all, and it won't bring down the government in any way".

muriel_volestrangler
(101,310 posts)You did see the Sally Bercow story, didn't you? It's less likely that talking about an affair, rather than an accusation of paedophilia, will cause trouble, it's true, but, as it is, we have 2 completely different rumours in the thread now. At least one is therefore completely made up. Which shows no-one has a decent basis for the rumours. In which case, there's not much point in stating them, if there's a chance, however small, of people starting to say "you must take down these scurrilous rumours". All we're doing it throwing out names at random, whether picked by us, or by someone else.

As I said before, entire idea is totally moronic and laughable in this day and age.

(101,310 posts)Our posts have frequently made clear we post from Britain, so IP addresses aren't really needed. They could prove our origin just from what's in Google caches, without any cooperation from DU at all.
If this were an important story, or if there was only one suggested pairing behind this (presumably the real one is covered by an injunction), then it might be a different matter - at least we'd be saying "this is what everyone is saying". But, as it is, we're just putting out random names, so not informing any DUer of 'the truth', just "what might be juicy".

(42,239 posts)that our laws here cover re-distribution too.
Nye Bevan
(25,406 posts)Or is a libel lawsuit the concern?
dipsydoodle
(42,239 posts)which there may be , it would actually be illegal for the media to report it. That's the nature of super injunctions.
Nye Bevan
(25,406 posts)that nobody is allowed to know about?
Not much freedom of speech in the UK these days, is there?

(5,113 posts)did not realise one can't force the Internet to shut up. The moment they start a crackdown everyone will know which particular rumour is true. Obviously if there IS a Super Injunction in place it did not cover reporting about existence of 'an affair' and involvement of #10 in it.

This video provides part of the proof that Boris Johnson and Samantha Cameron are the names relating to the Downing Street affair mystery. It has now been proven that Boris Johnson and Samantha Cameron had an affair resulting in a love child, maybe two. Nancy Cameron is Boris Johnsons biological daughter, only paternity tests could prove otherwise. Cameron has so far failed to release a statement if the affair, a sign of guilt. With a number of viral videos outing the lies, I am awaiting a statement from Downing Street confirming my accusations, or further confirmation from the gutless mainstream media.
Comments are better on YouTube in these type cases as everyone wants to prove a troll wrong---

IMPORTANT IDEA: Did David Cameron allow Boris Johnson to make a lovechild after his son Ivan's disability led to the decision of Cameron not to pass his genetics on?. Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy do have genetic inheritance links. Maybe other genetic diseases and conditions are also prevalent in Camerons bloodline. Was Boris infact a sperm donor? or did Samantha go behind Davids back to get pregnant without his knowledge, trying to do the right thing? Did this lead to the affair?

Peter, I really do hope that you have other evidence, at least something you can validate your wild accusations with. I'm not attacking you in anyway but you aren't doing yourself any favours with your replies. As it stands today, the names are not the ones you claim them to be. Not sure how true this is but the initials AC/RB have been released on twitter, think of the NOTW scandal few months back. You're barking up the wrong tree mate
Peter Nunn (57 minutes ago)
Well the Mail people are talking about Boris/Sam, Andy Coulson/Rebekka Brookes as you suggest, could be another affair, or a false flag to direct away. Remember this is the Mayor of London and the PM's wife, it is a big scandal, endlessly embarrassing. Everything will be done to cover it up.

Mr Nunn, you sound like a very sad individual. Much as I despise the tories, I despise even more those who make unfounded allegations in a pathetic attempt at self-aggrandisement
Peter Nunn (15 hours ago)
It is known as freedom of speech, and I believe we should all use it. The fact is that the public are being denied the information, and only by research and freely speaking can we uncover the truth. All evidence points to my conclusion, I will release further evidence shortly.

wheres the sex tape you have claimed to have seen!
Peter Nunn (16 hours ago)
Legal issues, plus I rather like keeping it to myself at the moment. I will release it if Cameron does not admit the truth before tomorrow evening.
spud v (21 hours ago)
There is nothing in this vid to suggest they are the two involved. Basing your argument on the colour of the child's hair is a weak argument. Dark haired couples can have blonde kids, try researching that before making such accusations!! More evidence is needed before you can out the pair in question.

(14,737 posts)Media consultant Julian Cook said: The ultra-secretive nature of injunctions means that its impossible to prove they dont exist.
Injunctions have therefore allowed newspapers much freer rein to make things up, as long as they dont use any names. But personally, Im tweeting that it is true and involves Nadine Dorries and a Great Dane.
Bill McKay, from Stevenage, said: When I heard a senior Tory had been having an affair, I automatically assumed, like everyone else, that Iain Duncan Smith had been fucking a jackal in a bid to conceive the Dark Lord who will terrorise mankind in a Thousand Year Reign of Fire and Blood.
