Joan Collins and Louis Theroux interview

*HPQ*, Johnson’s hungover appearance was indeed well documented. His behaviour less so, hence FP’s great desire to see party guests interviewed. To say that ‘it very likely led to blackmail’ is pure surmise and, as I have already said, libellous.

I suppose that you can only use blackmail if someone has a reputation that they don’t want to tarnish or a wife that would be horrified/surprised to find her husband had been unfaithful.

It was Joan Collins that some allege was there.

But perhaps Percy was there too, Maybee?

The bottom line is, we don't know.

Or care.

I hope you’re referring to Joan’s husband? 🤣

Or care.

I care not a jot who was there, but I am very concerned that the man who was then Foreign Secretary was the guest of an ex KGB agent, without his security detail.

I sounds like a ghastly evening; Johnson, Katie Price, Joan Collins.....how fortunate that I was not invited washing my hair that day.

I declined my invitation 😁

I watched it last night. It was good fun albeit being a bit lightweight. He was very gentle and reverential by his standards. She does look good for her age. I’ve never thought of her as a good actress and I never watched Dynasty. To me she’s more in the canny survivor category of celebs. Her wig must make her hot. It’s why I never wear mine: that and the fact it makes me itchy.

The ex KGB agent was there though and BJ met him.
He said he met Mr Lebedev senior at the event in Italy and said it "was not a formal meeting, nor something that was pre-arranged".

Agree MayBee70 a very lightweight interview, but she is 90 so hardly surprising.
I didn’t find out anything I didn’t already know, but she looks amazing & always speaks sense.

I haven’t seen it and I don’t suppose I will but in my book anyone who is 90 and still lively and entertaining is a real star. Good for her.

At a villa owned by the Lebedev family. Lebedev senior, the "ex" KGB agent was there. Italian security services expressed concern. It is all there, in the public domain. As most intelligent people know, there is no such thing as an "ex" KGB agent who is alive.

She's a survivor and what we might call a real trouper! The eternal optimist, whatever life threw at her.

Apart from this cheerful chappie who served 15 years as a foreign intelligence officer for the KGB (Committee for State Security), including six years in Dresden, East Germany. In 1990 he retired from active KGB service with the rank of lieutenant colonel and returned to Russia to become prorector of Leningrad State University with responsibility for the institution’s external relations. Soon afterward Putin became an adviser to Sobchak, the first democratically elected mayor of St. Petersburg. He quickly won Sobchak’s confidence and became known for his ability to get things done; by 1994 he had risen to the post of first deputy mayor.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
