Never Provoke a Dominatrix

That?s one of the maxims I live by, and so far it?s spared me ever so much soothing ointment.

But not everybody follows this piece of peasant wisdom?perhaps they like to live dangerously, or consider themselves invulnerable, who knows?and one journalistic rogue has now invited the sting of mistress?s lash. Cue the whipcrack from Frankie Laine?s theme song for Rawhide:

Chancellor was targeted by News of the World's hacker, says dominatrix

I hasten to mention that the Chancellor in question is not Alexander Chancellor, the former editor of The Spectator (UK) and Talk of the Town editor at The New Yorker. Very nice chap, as I recall.

No, this is the Chancellor of the Exchequer of which we speak.

A former dominatrix was targeted by the News of the World's phone hacker Glenn Mulcaire in a tabloid scramble to publish a picture of her posing with George Osborne in front of an alleged line of cocaine, The Independentcan reveal.

Natalie Rowe, 47, a former madam who supplied prostitutes to a moneyed clientele, has been shown documents by Scotland Yard detectives showing that the hacker obtained details of her mobile phone number and information about at least one of Mr Osborne's circle of close friends, as newspapers investigated claims of drug use at the height of David Cameron's Conservative leadership bid in 2005.

Mark Lewis, the lawyer acting for Ms Rowe who now works as a writer and has completed an autobiography which she says will make incendiary revelations about former clients in the upper echelons of the Conservative Party, is preparing a damages claims against News International after it became clear that she was targeted by Mr Mulcaire at a time when she was co-operating with the NOTW's chief rival, the Sunday Mirror.

Ms. Rowe?s book sounds like it will be quite a stocking stuffer and reading the details of her story I was reminded of a new novel set in our own fallen country in which politics and sadomasochism interlace like a leather restrainer (unless, of course, it incorporates a zipper): The Knot Artist, whose heroine is dominatrix who runs a dungeon for wealthy, powerful masochists for whom vanilla is not enough. If you?ve ever wanted to enter a dungeon without having foreign objects inserted up your butt, here is a novel that will give you a virtual tour.
