Remember Patrick Rock, the aide of David Cameron who was arrested early last year over possession of pornographic images of children? He’s currently on bail until February 27, having denied making an indecent image of a child and possessing a further 56 such images.

Well, it seems lightning can strike the same place twice (if only metaphorical lightning), as another Cameron aide has now been charged with indecency in relation to the under-aged.

His name is Doug Richard, and he has been arrested on suspicion of raping a girl aged 13. He is currently on bail, after being questioned by police.

The married 56-year-old, who was born in America, has strenuously denied the charges. He has been a policy advisor to George Osborne and David Cameron and has travelled with the prime minister on an official government trip to Africa.

Further details are available on the Daily Mirror website.

    I don’t think its coincidence. Cameron is a corrupt and lightweight politician who surrounds himself with corrupt people.

    “In the 90s Richard made his fortune buying and selling ­software firms in California”
    In other words he didn’t make anything he can sell, merely profiting from others’ labour. Let me guess, is Richard a Tory?

      Well he is an advisor to Tories, so…

      The Famous Pig Song

      The Famous Pig Song
      (Clarke Van Ness, music by F. Henri Klickmann)

      ‘Twas an evening in October, I’ll confess I wasn’t sober,
      I was carting home a load with manly pride,
      When my feet began to stutter and I fell into the gutter,
      And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
      Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter,
      Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say:
      “You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses,”
      Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

      Walked away, walked away,
      He was really too particular to stay.
      “You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses,”
      Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

        I know a version set in November.
        It was early last November, as far as I remember,
        And I was walking home in tipsy pride.
        No-one was I disturbing when I laid down on the kerbing
        And a pig came by and laid down at my side.
        As we lay there in the gutter thinking thoughts I shall not utter
        A lady passing by was heard to say
        “You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses”
        And the pig got up, and slowly walked away.

        It’s interesting how these things change.

      Who’s being judgemental? This article simply reports what has happened.

        I would suggest that bızzıelızzıe, phılıpburdekın and Neıl Mac’s comments leave lıttle doubt on that score….
