I disagree. I didn't like Hague. To me he came over as being insincere even by politician standards.

I believe that a lot of us of a certain age will never forget the image of him feeding his daughter a burger at the time of the BSE in the foodchain scandal.

Or the look of disgust on the kid's face.

Probably the fact that he's a politician.

..... and an ex-cokehead:

Cocaine 'mistake' a 'deep regret'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48564722



Tory leadership candidate Michael Gove has said he "deeply regrets" taking cocaine more than 20 years ago.

He told the Daily Mail that he had taken the drug at several "social events" while working as a journalist.

The environment secretary said he believed the "mistake" should not be held against him in his bid to become prime minister.
In some circles, coke-sniffing would be a qualification but for PM ......

Nowadays, perhaps .....

Yes I agree, just seeing his face gets all sorts of alarm bells ringing in my mind. I don't know why, but I trust my gut feelings they are usually right.
