Galento 24 Posted July 20, 2014 I have picked Chapman Pincheras my candidate on another thread, but before he goes, should he not be asked as to his knowledge of events in Westminster currently under scrutiny. I seem to remember that when it came to espionage, his contacts were impeccable, or so they seemed, so why not check with him as to his knowledge about the likes of Keith Joseph, Boyson and the like. I'm sure he could be useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a thread on politicians misdeamenours, a political frailty thread, a general purpose pedo-babbling thread in Jimmy Savile, a thread for journalists, a thread for spies and a thread on Chapman Pincher and you still managed to find the wrong thread for your ramblings?
