That's an odd question to ask

A small article in The Telegraph catches my eye, I repeat it in full first:

'Martin Popplewell, quizzing Gordon Brown for GT magazine, put it to the Prime Minister that, if he had to have a homosexual relationship, would it be with Will Young, Brad Pitt (who happens to be heterosexual) or Lord Mandelson?

"Oh, come on," Brown told the journalist, laughing. "You're not going to expect me to answer the question, given what Peter would say, whatever I said."

"Don't tell Peter," Popplewell responded.

"Well, he'll know," Brown replied, plaintively. "You know what Peter's like."'

That's an odd question to ask Gordon Brown unless you bear in mind the rumours that have been circulating for many years about Gordon Brown, Peter 'outed by Matthew Parris' Mandelson and Tony 'Miranda' Blair.
