The Sunday Mirror & The Sunday Mail have both outed old slippery Vaseline Vaz for using Polish & Romanian rent boys.Having unprotected buggery and using drugs to enhance the experience.What an enormous hypocrite he is considering he was on one of the committees looking into drug abuse that banned poppers.It also brings into question The Elm Guest House scandal in Richmond in the 80s because Mr. Vaz was the official solicitor for Richmond during this period and he would have liaised with the police about shutting it down or shutting people up !
He has resigned all of his parliamentary positions and it brings into mind now what was his relationship with Churchill Alemao , considering CA was his official guest here in the UK, although i dont think CA was involved in this sort of seediness, money laundering comes to mind though......

Please note that these are only allegations, if true then, having gay sex isn't illegal, not sure about the use of prostitutes and paying for their services, but it does seem as though the papers in Question were suffering a bit from a lack of serious news, ohh well it's the Sun, Mirror and Mail, what is serious real news to them. There are much more important things going on in the world, and he has resigned, so really a bit of a non story in fact.

We still have attacks on people for their private sex lives, this day and age?

It's all bread and butter to the tabloids, biggest problem that the tabloids have in this story is that none of the participants were underage.

Its on BBC.com too and now he alleges he was drugged and it was a tabloid sting.The men came to his house as decorators and seduced him ! Wow what an excuse. When Goan Expats where losing their properties to bent Goan politicians Vaz did nothing but ignore ex-pats pleading for help in fact he completely ignored them and brown-nosed instead dodgy politicians like The Alemaos. Poetic justice if you ask me and its been in the pipe line for years.The serious bit though Is The Elm Guest House affair.This will re-ignite interest for sure because its a direct line to Westminster now from Vaz to Jenner and his mates.

If there is any permanent suffering it will be had by his wife and family. One can only pity them.

Novocastrian

Quite.

Return of Santan

What utter rubbish ! He is in a postion of power AND responsibilty never mind his former postion as chair of Home Affairs. Would the same "sympathy" be shown to the foreign secretary who could be open to blackmail? These people in their ivory towers lording it over us peasants need to be accountable. Vaz has slipped the net for years and now been "alledgedly" caught with his pants down

Nothing he has done is, in fact, illegal, so he doesn't hold himself open to blackmail, unlike years ago when homosexuality WAS illegal, there are plenty of people in the House of Commons who are gay, in same sex relationships, have mistresses/indulge in threesomes and all sorts of other unusual setups, but the media isn't interested in them, it's just because of the position of chair of a committee that he was targeted.

I think it is the possible supplying of cocaine aspect which the police are interested in.

(He has a long history of getting himself in and 'out' of trouble--that is why he is known as 'vaseline' Vaz.)

Return of Santan

I have nothing whatsover against Anyones LEGAL sexual desires or preferences , but when it comes to Poppers & Coke ? Next we will have sympathy for the suppliers as they were only trying to earn some money ! Sympathy for his wife and family yes for sticking by the multi millionaire MP, but I personally feel if Mrs Vaz genuinely had no idea what he has been "up"to - either she aint a good lawyer or he is a bloomin good liar
