More on the Oaten Affair

Disgraced LibDem Mark Oaten broke his silence this week over the scandal that engulfed his career.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Oaten reveals he has been receiving psychiatric treatment for several years. He says he was constantly depressed in his job as LibDem home affairs spokesman and thought about quitting daily.
He says that losing his hair and a general feeling of losing his youth led him to repeatedly have sex with a male prostitute.
Oaten also says that he now does not think that sexuality is a 'black and white issue' and claims that he was trying to sabotage his career subconsciously by taking risks.
The interview is being praised for its candour - is that a JOKE?
He had a six month affair with a rent boy - because he felt a bit sad about losing his hair? See, cos I thought what men did when they had a mid-life crisis was buy a motorbike. Not indulge in acts of coprophilia with eastern european prostitutes.
