The Anonymous Widower

Gategate

We have had a lot of scandals lately in the UK.  Two major sporting ones; Bloodgate involving Harlequins Rugby Club and Crashgate involving Renault have come to light in the last few months. There’s even a list of “Gate” scandals in Wikipedia. I haven’t counted, but there are a lot that occurred in the UK.

We need a Gategate!  It’s a pity an MP didn’t guy a set of ornamental gates and stick them on his or her expenses.

I just wonder how many people who use the suffix ‘gate’ with impunity, even know the story of the original Watergate scandal.  The burglary that started it all was on June 17th, 1972.
