Ake, I read all that diatribe from "guest" and was amazed to find your name at the end of it. I didn't see the show, so can't comment on that specifically. But on the general principle, Paul's first post said it for me, entirely.

Giok mentioned John Profumo, and there could be no better example of a decent man and politician, nearly ruined by the hypocritical mores of his day - and of this day too, it sometimes seems. (He was at the opposite end of the political spectrum from me - apart from his courageous stand against the Hitler appeasers - but that's not the point.)
