That surprises me - I'd have thought the UK would be more accepting of that sort of activity than the US.

UK is more understand on the whole I believe, becca - but I think that the new UK pressure is also a kickback from the US 2257.  You know how pally bush and blair are.

 

Peace and Rapture

 ....Keeler told the court: "We were like brother and sister. My life really used to revolve around Stephen. He had full control of my mind. I used to do more or less everything that he said. I thought I could never stand on my feet unless he was there and supporting me mentally." Ward courted the prominent and the powerful, and made friends easily - in fact, Roger Hollis, the then head of MI5, was said to be a frequent visitor to his flat.

Ward was also known for introducing women to men and there are lurid stories told of parties held at his home, involving two-way mirrors, sado-masochism and orgies.

The most infamous tale is that of the "man in the mask", a high-ranking member of the establishment, who served guests at Ward's dinner parties, naked, except for a mask and who ate his dinner from a dog bowl. Despite rumours he was a Cabinet minister, he has never been identified.
