Monkey of a mayor falls into sex trap

Hartlepool, England - Yet another sex scandal has erupted in British politics - and this time it's H'Angus the Monkey in the trap.
The furry Hartlepool United soccer club mascot - elected mayor of the northern English town last May on a prank platform - has been sighted at a local lesbian strip show, the Hartlepool Mail newspaper reported on Wednesday.
"I wouldn't have thought a man of his standing would have turned up in a place like that," buxom blond Keri Mockler, 19, who stripped and kissed with an 18-year-old girl at the Office pub, was quoted as saying.
H'Angus - real name: Stuart Drummond, 28 - confessed: "I did go to the pub (with friends after a county soccer match), but was not taking any great interest in what was happening on stage."
"Nevertheless, it was an error of judgment and I apologise if I offended anyone," he said, echoing former prime minister John Major's expression of shame for his just-exposed four-year fling with Edwina Currie.
H'Angus is the namesake of a real monkey reputedly hanged in Hartlepool as a French spy during the Napoleonic wars.
He ditched his colourful campaign promise - "free bananas for children" - after his surprise victory over establishment rivals to focus on education and youth issues. - Sapa-AFP
