In a gorgeous interview with Hello Magazine Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik has opened his beating heart to reveal that his relationship with Cheeky Girl Gabriela Irimia is...
"... a meeting of minds. Gabi is insightful, bright, sharp, challenging, very funny and pretty strong-minded. She challenges me intellectually, and she demands respect as a person just because of who she is. Our relationship is not based on lust - it's primarily a relationship of intellect, a meeting of minds, and that I find really interesting and attractive."
So many things to say, so little time...
PS At 9pm I'm interviewing Lance Price on 18 Doughty Street and at 10pm it's a Scottish evening with David Mundell MP, SNP MP Angus MacNeil, Steven Uncles from the English Democrats and Tory PPC Harriett Baldwin.
Is there no end to Opik's pathetic attention-seeking?
ReplyDeletewhy the hell have you been reading Hello!
ReplyDeleteIt's not that I don't believe him - but you just KNOW those kind of comments are going to come back and bit him in the arse at some point in the future. It's only a matter of time, surely!
ReplyDeleteAlso, they seem to have very similar chins.
ReplyDeleteLance Price..I remember him well from Oxford...he went a bit off the rails after graduating...I gather he wasted his life at the BBC and with the Labour Party...
ReplyDeletePull the other one...
ReplyDeletePull the other one...
ReplyDeleteTragic. From Lembit Opik to Limpet Opaque. And destined, of course, to end up on Celebrity Big Brother.
ReplyDeleteCan't you get one of the cheeky girls on the show?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you persist in treating the English Democrats as a mainstream voice - they are a front for the Third Way, a peculiar strand of fascist thought that split from the National Front.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you have made that up?
ReplyDeleteIts a pretty good piece of satire if you have.
"Lembit and Gabriella open their hearts to Hello magazine about their struggle to cope with the media"
"Lembit tells Heat magazine all about his wonky jaw misery"
"OK exclusive , lembit and his battle with anorexia"
"Gabriella reveals her steamy bedroom secrets and how to keep a stud like Lembit happy"

ReplyDeleteI hope the girl Gabi has more about her than the idiot Lembit ... he is underselling her surely?
she should sue
It won't last. She'll dump him for a younger model within 18 mths.
ReplyDeleteI think the Cheeky mother will dump him when he is banned from doing more celeb stunts....
ReplyDeleteShe does look very intellectual, agreed, but has she read Proust in the original French?
ReplyDeleteShe should be careful, he has a history of dumping women for younger models ;-)
But what a pair!
Bitem, Pilok
Why doesn't he get one sister pregnant so he can go out with the other ?
ReplyDeleteOh come on lets not be too beastly...hearing about Lembik's antics is better than hearing about Prescott's cocktail sausage's travails!
ReplyDeleteLembit - I used to like you, now I just think you are a laughable twat.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to think a career in media and PR beckons....think again!
Don't know how the good people of Montgomery are going to react to this after the comments of locally popular Sian Lloyd.The jobcentre beckons after the next election,methinks.
ReplyDeleteanyonebutblair,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. (Wouldn't use the "t" word though.)
Any politician in the press for his/her love life comes a cropper in the end. You're supposed to be serving your constituents after all.
tom_r "bit him in the arse "
ReplyDeletewell he did say 'a meeting of minds' and it's prety obvious where he keeps his brain!
I'm not sure how rude I can be on Iain's blog and still pass the moderation. It's not Guido Fawkes.
ReplyDeleteBut I bet it was another part of his body he was thinking of "meeting" with hers when they first dated.
God knows what she was thinking. Unless, of course, Lembit has a very big er.. "mind".
Lembit: Don't insult our intelligence.
Much as I'd like to jump on the Lembit-bashing bandwagon, I just can't bring myself to do it....
ReplyDeleteYou see, people were saying very similar things to those appearing on this blog when he started going out with Sian 'I'm just a thick S4C continuity announcer that wears red leather trousers' Lloyd. And over a period of time she metamorphosed into a Carol 'more brains than beauty' Vorderman-type intellectual.
You see, she may be a 'cheeky girl' today, but a few months exposure to the relentless dullness of Lembit world and she may well be the next one to acquire a maths/ metereology degree and be presenting Countdown.
The point is, it will be like those 'controlled experiments' as we have a twin sister not being subjected to Opik, so that we can identify what hideous side-effects exposure to Lemsip can have..Watch this space..
