It is the longest day, the summer Solstice. A year ago I was in West London and I recalled my interview with King Arthur, who I used to have the odd drink with at The Bollo. I have left West London to live by the sea.
In fact… I plan, in time, to wonder around various parts of Britain’s coast and live by the sea. It seems like a good plan – and will allow me to indulge my new hobby of clearing British coastal waters of prawns… by eating them. Prawns may well be at the heart of the world’s global warming problem and if it transpires that they are, I shall probably get an award from Greenpeace for doing this important work.
Regular readers will know that I peruse the News of the World each Sunday morning; a public service I carry out for readers of a more aesthetic disposition who do not indulge in my grubby habit of reading the tabloids. Sure enough… another story exposing the lurid goings on in some parts of the judiciary
The News of the World reports:
A SENIOR married judge had a secret nine-month fling with a £250-a-night RENT BOY, the News of the World can reveal.
Judge Gerald Price QC, 60, was so besotted with 25-year-old Christopher Williams he set him up with a FLAT, paid him a monthly ALLOWANCE and let him sit on the bench in court as he presided over TRIALS.
Williams said: “His business is truth but he’s been living a lie.”
Apparently Judge Price let his rent boy sit on the bench with him ‘while he jailed criminals’.
The Ministry of Justice is investigating… but it looks as if Judge Price will have more time to spend with his friend and get value from his £420 ‘sex season ticket’. (Full story in NOTW)
As usual… Guido Fawkes gets his man: +++ Jim Devine MP Referred to Met Police +++
Guido writes: “Hopefully Jim will have got his story straight by the time they ask him to explain the fake invoice from a fake company with a fake VAT number. He has given the Scottish press various explanations involving pubs and cash. That should work Jim… Not.”
The saga continues… John Gummer pays £10,oo0 in expenses claims to a company he owns. Gummer, alread in some diffoiculty over claims to clear moles from his garden may now be considering his position. Plod is closing in and there may well be prosecutions. Plod has changed his mind about investigating MPs.
Ah well….time for a spot of breakfast and a shower! Back later…
Well at least he wasn’t claiming it on expenses..or was he?
And have you seen the picture of the rent boy?? I’m not sure he would even be worth paying! Let alone subsidising a whole lifestyle only later to ring up his wife and tell her the gory details, and then sell it to the tabloids..
Could the judge not have been slightly more inventive in preventing this and chained him to the walls a la Boy George?
Brings a whole new meaning to marshalling a judge:-)
Awfully nice lightly brushed with sewage sludge, I believe.
Outrageous. £420 pm, that’s not even national minimum wage.

Well there was the flat next to the Marina, plus use of his credit card and the other perks which all add up for an unemplyed bum.
Let’s be honest, this is one gormless looking rent boy who was otherwise living in a pretty dire and depressing coal mining town.
I would say it was bloody good deal for him.
As for the Judge, I feel badly for him, I’m gay myself and its really difficult to live two lives, which many have to.
When you get the chance to flex the other side of you, it can cause real problems because its a side of you which is so inexpereinced to things can run away with you.
Its not funny guys, the Judge was a good man, you would be surprised what goes on behind closed doors, and he’s still a good person, all I’m saying is if you’re lucky enough to be 100% percent straight, you’ll never know the conflicts that some of us have to deal with.
The judge is a human being before anyone else, and perhaps if society was not so horrible to such people it would not have been this way.
Some of the things you take for granted are a complete dilema for others. Its something you’re born with and its that simple.
That piece of dirt rent boy will never be trusted by anyone.
He’s assured himself of a lonely life, no one could ever trust that gormless “Jack Duckworth” lookalike again.
I feel bad for his parents, they must have done a rubbish job. To wreck this poor mans life, hurt his wife, his kids, plus all the people linked to them and all for a quick buck.
Christopher Williams, you have sealed your own fate and when the money runs out within the next 12 months, you’ll soon realise what a terrible mistake you’ve made.
