    According to journalist Iain Overton a senior political figure is going to be revealed as a **** tonight on Newsnight.

    Who do you think it is and who do you hope it is?
    I'm going for Thatcher.

    I'm pretty sure it's a former PM <ok>

    an MP brought it up on PM's questions last week. Everyone was totally baffled including Davy C

    After he was exposed as currying Edwina's eggs it wouldn't surprise me.

    Ted Heath.

    I hope it's Jack Straw or Ian Paisley, though. That would be great.

    What's that all about? Not heard of it. (Excuse my ignorance.) I'll need to away and look it up.

    (I've read two Ian Paisley biographies, though, and the man seems less than impressive - to put it as kindly as possible. I wanted to like him, but couldn't.)

    Big Ian was approached and told what his friends were up to in Kincora and sat on it.

    If it's a PM, it'll be Heath.

    If it's just an old Thatcher cabinet minister, it'll be Leon Brittan.

    Aha. That does ring a bell, actually. Thanks, Ciaran.

    (I always imagined this was purely the realm of excitable conspiracy theorists, though, and didn't know that it had gone mainstream. There may be trouble ahead.....)

    Good call, although I like to imagine that Norman Lamont would be perfectly capable of such things, as well. He has the look.

    Lamont's originally from Orkney. Who knows what depravity they indulged in to pass the long, dark winter nights.

    Patrick Mayhew has a bit of 'the look' about him too.
