It's a dirty old World
Article Abstract:
The News of the World has not had the response it expected to its revelation that UK Agriculture Minister Nick Brown is gay. This fact had already been known for some time in the Labour party and in media circles, but Brown felt that there was no reason for him to come out publicly. The media response to Brown's admission of homosexuality but denial that he had paid for sex was not homophobic, and there seemed to be a recognition that Brown had done nothing wrong. This therefore forced the News of the World to take a defensive stance.

Wodehouse secretly in pay of the Nazis, say MI5 files
Article Abstract:
Newly released MI5 files indicate that author P.G. Wodehouse secretly received financial support from the Nazis during the second world war. He was living in France when the war broke out, and was interned by the Germans until 1941. He was then released and made five broadcasts on German radio, greatly damaging his reputation in the UK because he implied that he anticipated a German victory. MI5 information indicates that he was able to spend several years living in a hotel in Berlin, Germany, probably supported by the Nazis.
