The secretary discovered the envelope on her first day in the job, after taking over from the previous secretary who left on grounds of having a nervous breakdown. When you\u2019re guarding these sorts of state secrets, we guess stress goes hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n<p>As for the discoverer of the envelope, imagine what fanciful notions swarmed her mind as she discovered a mysterious brown envelope kept hidden in a well-bolted safe. State documents? The plans to some maniacal master plan? The prime minister\u2019s penis pictures that they hold onto \u2018just in case\u2019? Surely, the last thing she expected was essentially a receipt for prostitution, an expense form neatly signed off by the appropriate authorities. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xescorts.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000046015310_Small-e1426675840138.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xescorts.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000046015310_Small-300x237.jpg\" alt=\"woman having orgasm\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1683\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A lot of stuff has been revealed over the last few years about the nefarious behaviour occurring at the BBC within the 70s and 80s. <strong>And this is just another piece to that decadent jigsaw \u2013 not necessarily because the man choose to hire a prostitute (train journeys are boring as hell), but because it got signed off as a business expense. <\/strong>After all, how could a BBC executive possibly function in the 80s without partaking in some wild sexual abandon, or guarding the secrets of some probable paedophile? <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"inline\">Protecting Those in Power<\/h2>\n<p>And apparently this sort of behaviour was very much acknowledged.<strong> According to Ms Seaton, the envelope wasn\u2019t accidentally left there, but was intentionally placed as a warning to the new secretary about the sorts of behaviours she would have to keep secret to protect the mighty men of the BBC.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cIt had been left by the previous secretary \u2026 as a warning to this secretary that she would have to deal with expenses and would have to deal with the chairman of the BBC who \u2026 just had to be managed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For England, gone are the days of the ever-fraudulent precept about the wholesomeness of high society. They might sit on gilded office chairs in their ivory (read: grey concrete) towers, but they\u2019re just as victim to the same basic needs as we all are.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The need for company knows no bounds.
