A celebrity lawyer has appeared in court accused of drug dealing after his teenage boyfriend died of an overdose.
Henry Hendron, 35, faces allegations of intending to supply ‘meow meow’ and GHB in the Temple – the collection of chambers where the country’s top lawyers are based.
Hendron, who had a flat at Pump Court in the Temple, has previously represented Nadine Dorries MP, the Earl of Cardigan and The Apprentice winner Stella English against Alan Sugar’s firm Viglen.
Police were called to the flat in the early hours of 20 January last year and found the body of his 18-year-old partner, waiter Miguel Jimenez.
No, not the death, obviously, but the general overall behaviour. The amusement is at two levels.
Firstly, confirmation that the taste for young flesh isn’t actually very much to do with women, the patriarchy or anti-feminism, seems to be a rather usual thing among men instead. And secondly, quite how much the new dispensation seems quite similar to the old. Who, having observed the London gay scene of the 80s, would think that when gay marriage was legalised there would be older, richer, men shaking up with younger, poorer, men? And taking party drugs with them?
Just not what you would expect at all, is it?
Then there was this bit which I have to say made me laugh out loud. Perhaps I am displaying prejudice but still:
As a 17-year-old schoolboy Hendron addressed the 1998 Conservative party conference calling for the re-introduction of corporal punishment.
One of those little details worthy of a Eulalie Soeurs comparison.
Well, yes. To all that.
“Hendron, who had a flat at Pump Court …”
*guilty SNORK!*
“the taste for young flesh isn’t actually very much to do with women, the patriarchy or anti-feminism, seems to be a rather usual thing among men instead”
But MIguel didn’t display a taste for young flesh, did he? He wanted a man with experience and money.
Who, having observed the London gay scene of the 80s
Frankie told people to relax and not do it.
Anyway, I bet the Norfolk gay scene is a lot friendlier on account of them all being related.
Theory: when corporal punishment was abolished in schools, the quality of teachers in the profession dropped. Especially but not only among the teachers of boys.
They don’t call it the Vice Anglais without good reason.
“As a 17-year-old schoolboy Hendron addressed the 1998 Conservative party conference calling for the re-introduction of corporal punishment.”
Whips and leatherboys….
Young men often prefer older but not too old women as well. Hot for teacher, and all that.
It doesn’t fit anybody’s pop sociobiology, but it happens. I still have very fond memories of my RE teacher, her boobs in particular.
Tel – “But MIguel didn’t display a taste for young flesh, did he? He wanted a man with experience and money.”
Yesterday’s story involved a 50-something man paying for a 30-something toyboy, who was running a ballet school for teenage ballet dancers.
We cannot be sure what Miguel displayed a taste for.
Eulalie Soeurs? Lord Sidcup, where are you when we need you? He wanted Gloucestershire to be given over to growing carrots as part of a grand national plan. At least it makes more sense of our current EU and UK planning. If only our present leaders had his stature and intellect.

And her nun’s habit?

So if your 35 and gay, an 18-year-old can be your ‘partner’. If you’re a 46-year straight opponent of Jeremy Corbyn and Ken Livingstone then 18-year-old women are children and “how could any man be attracted to a child?”
Consistency? Where did you get the idea of expecting that from?
Anyway, a lot of the bluster about Dankcock was that Little Miss Hideous didn’t wait till she was 18. Storm in an F cup.
It’s not as if he was one if the stars in the unbearably dim House, anyway. Even the ex-Mrs was more entertaining.

I don’t remember which side of that argument you were on but wouldn’t your track record be on the side of people who think an 18 year old is a child?
There is a double standard for Gays. We all know it. No one could get elected with a Thai mail order bride. But Brazilian rent boys seem entirely acceptable.
No, her tracksuit. She was actually a PE teacher who had to do RE lessons and was no more interested in religion than the class so far as I could tell.
Fabulous boobs she had.

No. Indeed I’ve said that 18 is definitely adult.
Whereas those Asian males in Rotherham and their 15-year-old girlfriends that they passed around- rapists.
Now there is someone on this blog who thinks 15-year-old girls are fair game. He has been remarkably quiet about Rotherham, haven’t you IanB.
I don’t think IanB has been remarkably quiet about anything
About Rotherham he has.
