Convicted child abuser Jonathan King defends Ted Heath:

“The moment Edward Heath sat down in the first class seat next to me on the flight from Scotland to London, shook my hand and said ‘Jonathan, it is a pleasure to meet you’ I determined to flirt with him in order to find out whether the rumours that he was gay were true… He could not have been nicer. Of course, I may not have been ‘his type’ – I was hardly an athletic sailor. But we queens can spot the signs. I knew hundreds of gay men and women, still do. Heath was, quite clearly, non sexual. Whether he had been in the past – who can tell? But there was not the slightest indication of it in the man I sat next to on the plane. And I got no invitation of any kind whatsoever.”
