William Hague and Georgina Baillie

Foreign Secretary William Hague and Satanic Slut Georgina Baillie aka Voluptua do not seem like natural bedmates but on this blog they are. Because despite all the excellent deeply incisive blogging that I have done over the years, the only days on which I have exceeded 1500 hits have been when I blogged about Andrew Sachs' granddaughter being the subject of Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross's "humour" back in 2008 and yesterday when I blogged about the peculiar willingness of the mainstream media to report claims about William Hague's sexuality, in stark contrast to their silencing of all rumours of the sexuality of leading Labour politicians in the recent past.

I find it interesting that just as in 2008 my piece from yesterday was for a time number two in the relevant Google search, although it has now dropped to position nine. The piece being returned at position two for the Google search 'is William Hague Gay' is rather odd as the page summary (as reported by Google) says:

'William Hague is the leader of the opposition parties in Britain, ... but a couple of years ago he announced that he was gay - or at least had 'had ...'

That's odd and not right I thought and indeed if you examine the page referred to, you will see that between the first and second part of that passage there is a fair amount of writing and that the politician who 'announced that he was gay - or at least had 'had...' was Michael Portillo not William Hague. Odd things search engines!
