Despite not being on Liam Fox’s Register of Staff Interests, this is the business card that Adam Werritty, the Defence Secretary’s former flatmate, best man and trip companion has been touting round Westminster:
Fox has said it is unacceptable for Werritty to say he is an advisor, but he needs to clear up whether his office had anything to do with the cards. Like paying for them out the stationery budget…

Oh er.
The fox has been out foxed.
Is it legal to put parliaments logo? If a minister takes someone every where he goes people will think its his partner or staff.
I lad, or bum boy as we say up in that there North.
Is Fox batting for both sides?
In an interview for the London Evening Standard he claimed that his impending marriage to Jesme Baird should mean an end to any gossip about his private life. However, he refused to deny that he might have had a gay relationship in the past.
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-134.html/
does it matter?
Jesme Beard?
Looks like Fox like Hague is also married but no kids!
It matters when you say you are marring a women to end gossip.
So you lose sleep not knowing whether he ever experimented in homosexuality?
When approaching punctuation, please remember you have both colons, and semicolons to help you out.
What about you Billy, experimented with cocaine and another man? You brain seems to be damaged. Did you do these in your country or in UK?
so rather than have a debate about fox, you just want to chuck smears and abuse at people?
I think you may be better off a t the Guardian (Comment is Free), you should fit it quite well there.
How am I smearing?
1) He spends a lot of time with a “friend”.
2) He has ordered an inquiry on himself.
3) Repeated what he said about the gossip.
Just putting every thing together, including things about his follow minister.
This is all about Su–ing C–k isn’t it?
Dr Cock Jockey ???
My bum is on fire.
Cabinet reshuffle anybody?
I don’t think Cameron is powerful enough to do it.
Guido, give young Harry a clip round the ear. and get him to write out ‘stationery, not ‘stationary’ a hundred times.
Just you watch sunshine. Osborne is going sooner than you think.
Osborne has some thing on Cameron, so Osborne will only go with Cameron.
Shouldn’t her surname be spelt “Beard”?
P4k1st4n, the West’s enemy.

Yep, they are a disgrace (see Southarwk crown court).
Problem is though Bill, why exactly is Camoron still giving hundreds of Millions of tax payers cash away to a state sponsor of terror (Pakistan) ?
Dave as a poplticon has only 3 options, To talk to them, to bribe them with cash or bomb them.
They wont listen to just words and if Dave decided to bomb them i am sure you and all the lefties will be complaining about invading a soverign country.
Would have no problem with bombing them, About time some nuked the arseholes…
Problem is though Bill. Why exactly is Camoron still giving away hundreds of millions of tax payers cash to a state sponsor of terror? (Pakistan)
We will keep paying them vast bundles of aid!
Danegeld…
It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now. The more you give ‘em, the faster they come back for more. Even Imran Khan, he of the fast bowling, has made that point.
Sod the money. The latest rumor is they are selling the Red Cross tents on Ebay!
I like the way you substituted numbers for letters to bypass the m0der4t10n f1lt3r5. Would it work for the work bl4ck?
Yes!
And why has Guido filtered P4k1st4n? is he joining the PC brigade who thinks the sun shines out of their arseholes?
You can always e-mail and ask him?
You can always fuck off.

Or even the stationery budget
That’s not an official MoD card. Different logo, colour and placement. Is it a House of Commons card (portcullis logo)?
But would the guy be able to add the portculis logo without permission
Maybe he got it of an old thruppeny bit
Maybe the budget is standing still … there again it’s in the HOC, not the real world, so maybe not
Neo-Guido got his education under Labour. It shows.
He’s sort of right. The budget won’t move much unless it’s picked up and carried, so for a large part of the time it is stationary.
Public sector budgets are never stationary.
Don’t really think it is a big deal. Foxy should just stop hanging around with this guy and pick better friends.
Or he could just keep it hush hush like and just meet up in random hotel rooms on the snide.
Benghazi!!!
Maybe we could arrange a dating system to hook up in-closet gay Government Ministers with each other. This would remove security concerns over pillow talk, as they would all hold appropriate clearances.
Is that Arabic for bend over?
“..stationery…”
E for envelope. D minus.
A for arse stuck in a traffic jam
Pedant
Can you comment on the logo NISA TUESDAY’S . I can’t see what they are trying to say ( Google for More )
M for minus
StationAry budget Guido? – is that the one where the envelopes don’t move very fast?
A stationary budget is presumably a budget which doesn’t allow you get to go on tax-payer funded trips – like to Sri Lanka for example.
It’s within the rules.
Ooh the stationery budget?! That’s the topic on everyone’s lips at the Dog and Duck tonight. Can’t stand Fox, and I assume that he along with the rest of them are corrupt as fuck, but find something better than the stationery budget before posting?
Ouch. Fox-hunting appears to be back on the menu.
You mean stationEry budget!Education, education, education!
Liam Fox, the chicken’s better than the beef.
There, I’ve just given him some advice, I’m off to print some business cards.
Stationery Budget methinks.
Probably got them off Vistaprint in one of their myriad of special offers.
Their myriad special offers methinks.
The Fox has been shot. It’s no longer moving, it’s stationary.
The only way Tory MP’s can guarantee people won’t think that they’re gay is to remain single!
I’m single!
I thought you were a two-way bet Simon old man.
Better get the shreders ready.
I’d be surprised if it was paid for from the stationary budget. Though he could possibly have paid for them from the stationery budget…
Thee lad are talking utter bollocks.
Can he be done for image theft, unauthorised use, forgery of a instrument or something?
He needs slapping down.
Who will be his slapper ?
Any one up for a bit of fisting this afternoon?
I blame the finacial crisis on whoever decided to stop dispensing £5 notes at cash points.
Bring back the farthing, I say. Money was worth more when we had farthings.
And threpenny bits. And tanners.
Eee when I wer’a lad you’d get sixpence from the gentlemen down the dark alley.
I was being semi serious Eng.
Say if you just want to buy a pack of 10 fags, they cost about £3 but you have to withdraw £10 cash from cashpoint, leaving more money in your pocket than required.
Even tho it is down to personal responsabilty i do think the move from dispensing £5 was a sign that it was ok to spend more than you needed.
Or maybe i am looking to deep into it.
I was only being a little bit tongue-in -cheek myself. The effects of inflation during the ’70s and early ’80s were pretty dire for some people, and if it’s allowed to let rip again, it’ll be dire again. Look at what sixpence would but in 1970 and compare with what you can get for 2 1/2p today.
I vaguely recall seeing somewhere that there’s a shortage of £5 in circulation (maybe it’s a plot to replace them with coins), so banks are having to keep quite old and scruffy ones in issue rather than replacing them with new. The scruffy ones tend to clog up cashpoints, so they don’t put ‘em in. That may just be a rumour, but it’s what someone suggested to me.
70s inflation was a great present to mortgage holders.
Get your flares on, weer all crazee again.
To be fair, mortgage holders are not doing so bad in today’s crisis – inflation is eroding the size of their debt, too. They have the added bonus of low interest rates, as well.
“not doing so bad” … the inflation means that the house price crash that would have left many people (everyone?) in deep shit hasn’t happened.
“not doing so bad” … the inflation means that the house priffsce crash that would have left many people (everyone?) in deep shit hasn’t happened.
We should never have abandoned the gold standard. Consign the euro to the dustbin of history and bring back the gold dubloon !
buy 3 packs of fags, then you can use the cash machine less often.
Halfpennies as big as 10p pieces with a ship on the front, thrupenny bits with jaggedy edges, brown ten-bob notes inside a birthday card, book vouchers for WH Smith at Christmas… god, I wish it was the 1960′s again.
In a Paxo voice.
Yerrrsss. Next.
I personally blame it on the lack of a credit license.
People who can’t work out the total-cost of a compound interest loan, shouldn’t be allowed to borrow money.
People who think houses getting less affordable is a good thing should have their breathing license revoked…
For a hell of a lot of us, even if we didn’t do it on purpose, less affordable housing gave us real or theoretical money (that most of can, or already have, cashed in).
One can disagree and disaprove, but what do you do when a country full of knobheads stuffs many many thousands of quid in your pocket for no good reason.
Did anyone think RBS buying ABN Amro was a good idea apart from him?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1140982/Ex-RBS-boss-holds-hands-ABN-takeover–admitting-bad-mistake.html
Same with HSBC buying Houshold.
To an ordinary member of the public like me, it sounds like more of the same misfeasance we all hoped would go with the fall of New Labour.
Get rid of Fox now, before the rot spreads throughout the barrel.
My Investigation of myself will exonarate me of any allegations that me and my best man were sharing a bed on my wedding night.
As much as we all despise Alky Ada, would anyone really be that bothered if they took out the whole sordid den of traitors, liars, thieves & small time opportunists in Westminster?
I would rather it done via the ballot box (Cheaper)
Gas please. I like the building.
Silly boys. Foxs’ pal is an opportunist.
An opportunist?
An absolute requirement for anyone associated with uk politics in the present time.
No doubt he’ll go far,
Fings ain’t wot they used to be. Once upon a time, we had a Secretary for War (whose job was defence) called John Profumo who was caught out swyving with two genuinely stunning young women. Now we have a mere Defence Secretary (whose job is to make war) and some sweaty bloke whom he might, just possible, have a crush on.
Well, you would say that, wouldn’t you?
I hope Dr Fox is able to remain in the Cabinet. It will be a great loss if he has to resign. He has my complete support.
Will you stop laughing at the back.
hmm – cameron will no doubt be thinking abour a reshuffle soon – what’s the betting liamfox and kenclarke might be stepping down to spend more time with their families.
More time with his friend in Foxy Foxy’s case.
Well we all know that this is not really a business card, as such but merely a statement of intent. So what’s the problem?
I thought it was illegal to use that portcullis logo on anything except official stationery and official government business.
Didn’t margaret moran and baronessuddin both try something similar for their own personal use only to find they got their wrists slapped?
I dunno. Was it just the “logo” or using fully headed notepaper etc.?
I do like to splash out on Adam
Werritty should at once be barred from entrance to all government buildings, and restrained from any further use of bogus visiting cards.
If Mr Fox knew of this card…..he will resign by the weekend.
Resign?!
You are joking! The days of mp’s and ministers honorably resigning when they find themselves disgraced or embarrassed are long gone!
And thanks to the last government , even when they did resign (mandy for instance) , they were brought back a bit later in another job. Bad precedence.
I think I hear the words, I’m like a cab for hire, my rate… Oh say £5000 a day..
i think when he leaked defence cuts to newspapers was his downfall
long memories
They should no longer be called honourable
While studying medicine at Glasgow University in the early 1980s, Fox resigned his position on the university’s Students Representative Council (SRC) in protest at the council passing a motion condemning the decision of the university’s Glasgow University Union (GUU) not to allow a gay students society to join the union. The SRC motion called both the union’s decision and the explanations given for it “bigoted”. The GUU maintained its stance regardless and the controversy was reported in the national media while leading to many other university student unions up and down the country, including Edinburgh, cutting ties with their Glasgow counterparts. Explaining his decision to resign from the SRC and support the GUU’s position, Fox was quoted as saying “I’m actually quite liberal when it comes to sexual matters. I just don’t want the gays flaunting it in front of me, ( He likes his Iron Hoovery to be discreet) which is what they would do.” When asked about the controversy in 2008, Fox remarked that “fortunately most of us have progressed from the days when we were students more than a quarter of a century ago (I havent shagged a bloke in 25 years)
There is our answer , he was a shirt lifter at university and was twerrified at the prospect of being outed if the queers formed a formal society and had a good bitchy gossip about Leanora Fox
All this talk of stationary/stationery takes me back to a Russ Abbott sketch.
Abbott (as Connery) “The name’s Bond, Basildon Bond, MI 6 and three quarters”
Pussy galore “Are you a roving agent?”
Abbott “No i’m stationery”
I’ll get me coat.
++ claps ++
Yes, I wonder who wrote that. I also used to love the ‘Miss Marbles’ sketches too.
It was reported in June 2009 that Fox claimed expenses of more than £19,000 over the last four years for his mobile phone. Fox claimed the high bill was due to regular trips overseas, in his capacity as Shadow Defence Secretary and said he was looking for a cheaper tariff.
So our defence secretary uses a stardard carphone warehouse style line for top secret telephone calls?
Why is it that politicians’ catamites all seem to have unusual surnames?
Verritty with a lithp?
Are men like Fox really the best that Dave could find?
As I have said before, what he does with his bottom (or with others) is entirely his own business but if it involves shafting us as taxpayers by way of offering favours to reward his best friends or incurring costs/expenses, then he can piss off. His lack of candor in answering simple questions as regards his relationship with his ‘best man’ spoke volumes. He’s toast.
As Labour’s Spud Murphy is so concerned about the company that Fox keeps perhaps he would like to explain why he shared a table at a party fundraiser with Glasgow gangster Louis Rodden.
Don’t hold your breath …
re this and Spank Sinatra at 117 above. Two points.
1. Whilst his sexuality is a matter for him can you really have a Minister, a Defence Minister, who is open to blackmail?
2. We have to stop “Partysysing” when it comes down to who has got their snouts in the trough. Guido is, commendably, willing to dig at anyone who is taking us for fools, whatever the Party. It only helps them all when we compare one party to another. It is like comparing two turds. While we are arguing about who are the biggest crooks they are lauging at us.
Don’t know why Guido has blanked out his mobile and email. Go to google, type in his name and add business card, then hit images.
Who is this Werrity anyhow? Some sort of bum boy, I take it?
Fox seems to have done far worse than speedy chris huhne. So if huhne’s got to go Guido, then so should Fox! A big reshuffle of this government is well overdue in any case. Bin cable, huhne, fox, spelman, warsi for a start.
The investigation is a smoke screen as it appears to be only looking into security matters and it is unlikely that his friend had access to any classified info. Also how ell qualified is his top MoD civial servant to undertake an investigation ? They will have no experience of undertaking such an investigation. It should surely be the MoD police who run the investigation. The real questions to be answered are:
First, if he was not under taking any MoD business what was he doing visiting at govt minister in his offices. Surely govt buildings should not be used for carrying out private business.
Second, when did Fox become aware of the business cards and did he do anything to stop them being handed out ?
Third, who paid for the cards ?
Fourth, was using the Portculis logo an infringement of govt copyright ?
Fifth, has Fox introduced his friend to anybody for commercial purposes ? Fox was very evasive on this point during his interview on BBC this morning. Just looking at potential security breaches will not answer this question which is why the current investigation could be a waste of time.
Sixth, who paid for his friend to go Sri Lanka ?
Seventh, in what capacity did his friend go to the High Com in Sri Lanka ? How was he introduced to guests at the High Com ?
Eigth, did his friend receive any UK govt hospitality in Sri Lanka ?
Ninth, has his friend recieved any UK govt hospitality in the UK or elsewhere ?
Tenth, what other trips has his friend been on, either in the UK or overseas, where Fox or the MOD was involved ? If there were any trips who piad for them ?
This is just the start but it is these type of questions that he should be answering. Anything less would be a white wash.
You are Tom Watson and and I claim two bob.
It’s unacceptable to spell it “advisor”.
Less damage will be done if Fox would step down gracefully, rather than that every sordid detail should have to be dragged out over weeks and months before Dave plucks up the courage to give him the boot.
So Foxy Knoxy got off scott free this week but in her place we now have Knoxy Foxy
While the MOD are investigating this one they would do well to have another look at Handycock’s ‘assistant’ Katya who had access to the Commons, to Handy’s computer and (apparently) to Defence matters as well.
Fox is fucked. He has ‘dug his own hole’ as he said of the MoD.
In another post he might have been able to wriggle out of it, but those of us who are in uniform, or who have served in the Armed Forces, expect some level of integrity. Plus, he is regarded as a something of a bad smell by Cameron’s core team.
In light of this example, shouldn’t Major Disaster or Wing Commander Biggles take the missus or a chum along to that next NATO meeting in Brussels, for some Christmas shopping and to fill up the car with booze at Calais. Or for some winter sun out in Saudi or Oman. Chuck it all on the 1771 or whatever the form is called now …
Why are defence ministers consistently the lowest of the low? I can only think of one half-decent one in the last decade and he didn’t even last long.
Is Liam Fox the love child of Ronnie Corbett? I see a certain resemblance…
Legalise Fox hunting…
Who cares what Fox and ‘Bosie’ Werritty get up to between the sheets? What needs to be investigated is the bogus Atlantic Bridge ‘charity’ and its recruitment of British politicians as Agents of Influence for foreign governments and corporations.
I dont get this
Fox met up with the “styled” Holy roman emperor the king of Spain and the pope, in Spain in the days leading up to the final push in Lybia. I thought they were going to make him an untouchable withing the malta order. Now theyre burning him, anyone wanna explain to me why?
Looks like treason to me. Off with his head.
