oh dear Gayle i suppose an extra covering of tough skin would be useful when you go into the line of politics - sleaze, gossip & scandal are very much a part of it - ask your heirarchy in the labour party!
These threads were of joking speculation & surely not meant in any defamination to yourself or to your character intentionally, but as being this forum is great public info & ad campaign for your polital efforts you will also have your sceptics as well as supporters, so you've put yourself in the situ of these threads by being here - surely you have to take the rough with the smooth, but if these claims were meant then well justified in taking a stand Gayle but judging on what is read & seen nobody took it at all seriously other than yourself.
Lets hope it keeps out of the telegraph & observer
