Funny Honey Trap
Hilarious stuff from Guido today. Over the weekend, papers carried the story of a "top government adviser" and "senior Downing Street aide" who was picked up by a sultry Chinese girl in a nightclub while part of the official visit to China in January.
The hapless aid fell for the oriental temptress and she accompanied him back to his hotel. The following morning, he discovered that the lady had vanished - and made off with his BlackBerry. "Sensitive official information" and access to Downing Street email servers could mean that British security was compromised. "A senior official said... that the incident had all the hallmarks of a suspected honeytrap by Chinese intelligence", the Times reported.
Yeah, right, says Guido. Honeytrap? As he says, it's a classic good-time girl sting. Pissed-up westerner goes back with hooker who helps herself to a second tip. And, besides, the Chinese were hardly cracking James Bond's BlackBerry: "Why on earth would Chinese intelligence agents care what **** ****** the right-on former secretary-general of the Fabians, hero of Hampstead, fully paid-up Guardianista and now Gordon's environmental adviser, had on his Blackberry? Laughable," writes Guido (who publishes the "high-flyer's" name - go there if you're interested).
