"Honey Traps" And Other Cold War Strategies

A British MP has had his Russian 'Parliamentary Aide', Katia Zatuliveter, age 25, arrested over claims she is a Russian spy.

Katia Zatuliveter

Of course he says she isn't a spy, but as the KGB (FSB, or whatever they call themselves these days), have used Russian ingenue's, to beguile older western males into loosening their tongues (if nothing else), over sensitive information for decades, so its rather odd that she should gravitate towards an old minor leftie MP just 'for love', and for no other reason.

Must be his good looks ...... err, or something.The MP concerned, Lib Dem Mike Hancock has an 'interesting' CV according to the Wiki page entries for him.

Mike Hancock

He has been a member of both the defence select committee's of the British Parliament and he is the vice chairman of the all party groups on Russia and Croatia ....... but perhaps more 'interesting' is that according to the same wiki pages "Hancock has said that he will act to defend the government of Azerbaijan in the British Parliament. He says that he disapproves of criticism of President Ilham Aliyev's regime, and has stated that, in particular, he disapproves of the democratic opposition movement within Azerbaijan"  ....  a country whose last elections (which his mate won with 76% of the vote), "fell short of international standards and were accompanied by voter intimidation, unequal campaign opportunities for the candidates, and widespread violations of the electoral laws and process." so a real supporter of democracy world wide then?    

He is also a 'Armenia holocaust' denier, "Hancock has stated that he does not believe the Armenian Genocide actually happened, describing it as a "so-called genocide" based on "dubious historical" claims; in March 2010, he said: "Armenia is like a headless chicken that runs around in circles. They really do not know where to run." ...... maybe one or two million Christians murdered by Muslim Turks is only a dubious historical claim to him, even though its accepted by many civilised countries.

Finally, "On 12 October 2010 Hancock was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault and released on police bail until January 2011. The case relates to allegations that he made sexual advances to a vulnerable constituent after she had contacted him seeking assistance with noisy neighbour."

I don't know what his constituents think of all this, but I know he would be joining the dole queues come the next elections if he was my MP ..... not that he would care what I thought.

Update: 

As we all suspected she has now admitted having sex with this MP in a four-year relationship ..... and Jonathan Glasson, lawyer for the home secretary said that 'Mr Hancock was known to have had extra-marital affairs' ..... Back in the day, an MP would have stood down for either of those statements, but nowadays such is the low morality, and high arrogance of our political 'ruling elites', that he's actually trying to stop his spy mistress from being deported.

No doubt her 'Human Rights' would be impacted if her spying caused her to suffer any penalties, much less be deported.

2nd Update: As I guessed she won her right to remain here .... a lot of old men on a tribunal thought it wasn't slightly odd that a 20 something year old blonde Russian girl would 'fall in love' with a 60+ year old British MP ... happens all the time!

Although no longer an MP. he still has access to Parliament, and a MP's pension, despite settling out of court on sexual harassment claims by a constituent.
