Lord Laidlaw:
Tory donor sex with hookers, orgies, admits addiction
Things
are just not looking good in the capital of online gambling,
where the leading Tory donor, Lord Laidlaw, 64, has been exposed
for holding orgies with £3,000-a-night hookers, later admitting
to the expensive orgies. According to The News of the World, he
was flying in prostitutes who charged thousands of pounds a
night for the orgies in his Monaco mention. Lord (Irvine)
Laidlaw later admitted the accusations in a letter to the
tabloid, which revealed he had been struggling with sex
addiction for decades. "I have been fighting sexual addiction
for my whole adult life. Sexual addiction is comparable to the
other, better known addictions such as drug, alcohol and
gambling. Many people suffer different types of this disease.
There is no cure for it, and self-help is rarely successful. But
having an addiction is no excuse for my behaviour. I have been
in therapy a number of times, but I have not worked hard enough
or continuously enough on this. I should have been stronger in
resisting the temptations. I hope that, in time, people will be
able to understand and forgive me as I fight this difficult
personal battle," read the Lord Laidlaw letter.
According to The News of the World, Lord
Laidlaw was one of the VIP clients for a few madams, , one drug
and champagne-fuelled party with four prostitutes and a male
gigolo in an exclusive Monte Carlo hotel is said to have cost
him £27,000. It's said that the hookers drank champagne and fine
wines before taking part in lesbian and bondage sex acts. The
Monaco-based Scotsman is set to undergo six weeks of therapy in
South Africa, his spokesman confirmed. He will also contribute
£1m to an as yet undecided clinic to help others fighting
similar addictions.
Lord Laidlaw made his fortune after
establishing the world's biggest conference organizing company,
the Institute for International Research which he sold in 2005
for £768 million, and currently his fortune is estimated at £730
million. He became a Tory peer in 2004 and agreed to renounce
his status as a tax exile but four years on, he is still not a
UK resident and does not pay British taxes. The peer is the
Tories' biggest donor and has given £6 million to the party
under David Cameron's leadership alone. He has also given money
to Boris Johnson's campaign to become London mayor. Despite the
scandal, Boris Johnson remains the favorite to become the next
Mayor of London with odds 8/13 at the British bookmaker
Bet 365, followed by Ken
Livingstone at 6/5 and underdog Brian Paddick at 80/1.
