some very dodgy things going on there.
Makes people lose trust in politicians and the government in general, he has to go

If anyone of us brought one of our mates to work wouldn't someone say, "What's going on FFS?"
Cameron boasts having created thousands of jobs in the private sector. Only four of them were, in fact, not Adam Werritty's.

Dead man walking. And we are all lucky for that, Mr Fox is a very dangerous politician.

Ican't remember the exact phrase, but during the fiasco that was the M.P.,s expenses scandal, one of the lines spouted by some miscreants was that the system was at fault. I,m sure Fox said something along the same lines yesterday, that the system had a glitch in it, and needed looking at so that the mistakes he may have made can not be made again.
NNNNOOOOOOO. There is nothing wrong with the systems, rules, whatever, they are as plain as plain. The fault lies with those that cheat and bend the rules to their own advantage.
I think that Fox is heading for the door marked exit.

He's the DEFENCE secretary for gods sake. Possibly one of the most sensitive roles in government and he's inviting his 'mate/lover' to meetings with overseas agencies where one can only imagine very sensitive topics were being discussed. We must be a laughing stock amongst other governments who must be wondering why Cameron is doing his utmost to keep this bomb scare of a minister.
What other defence agency would want to sit around a table with him knowing that he had invited a member of the public along (posing as an advisor) to previous meetings they've had. Simply insane.

Agreed Mark, but "mate/lover" Where does that come from. Lets stick to facts, not assumptions at this stage. And anyway, i thought he was married.

According to the BBC, Cameron will do everything he can to save the Fox. First it was Coulson now it's Fox should we really trust a Prime Minster with such poor judgement.

''because – and I am not making this up – he has a pet cat”
I plagarised this from a letter in The Guardian but it made me laugh.

i can't see how fox can possibly stay in that job, i'm amazed he hasn't had the decency to resign let alone be sacked.
taking in an unauthorised person into the mod and other secure places is bad enough, but when it happens multiple times and then the person makes money off the back of it is just ridiculous
how can he be taken seriously after this??

Perhaps we'll have to wait until the hunting ban is revoked.

Google Liam Fox, Adam Werritty, MOD, Atlantic Bridge, fake charity, tax breaks and I'm sure you'll find the story being covered over a multidue of media outlets more to your liking.

Was of course alluding the allegations of hotel room sharing which perplexed quite a few of us. Find it difficult to stick to the facts when Fox's version of events seem rather devoid of these. Married he is, but given how reckless Fox has been in relation to his post it is quite easy to assume he could apply the same misjudgement to his private life. Either way he'll not only have some explaining to do to his peers but also his poor family.

Are Liam Fox and this bloke an item? Is that what the media is trying to say without actually saying it?

"The Times claims a money trail links Mr Werritty to a private intelligence company with strong interests in Sri Lanka and a property investor who lobbies the UK government on behalf of Israel"
Lobbies the government on behalf of israel?

Just resigned - increasing looks like having Cameron's full support means your out of a job by the end of the week

Why has it taken him over a week to resign? Very weak leadership from Cameron.

Currently the British political arena is bereft of anything close to inspirational.

Currently the British political arena is bereft of anything close to inspirational. Sadly, i agree. Regardless of the rights or wrongs, whose fault the economic crisis is, ect, Labour arnt in a good place at the moment and Miliband seems incapable of taking along even die hard Labourites like me, so **** knows how he thinks he will convince the rest of the population.

You know when the Tories and their supporters are rattled they resort to the antics of the playground and start name calling.

"I wholly support X" = "I'll not be seen to turn on my ministers without giving them chance to quit first". Sacking a party member whilst giving David Laws a chance to quit first wouldn't have gone down well at Blue HQ.

I heard Fox has already reapplied for the post in a remarkable political/cultural/spiritual turnaround.
