Boris Johnson's deputy: 'I had sex with a Chinese spy'

EXCLUSIVE by Kate Mansey 29/11/2009

Beauty lures politician to bed then drugs him to take secrets

Boris Johnson's deputy was lured into a classic honeytrap by a beautiful Chinese agent in scenes which could have come straight out of a spy novel.

Ian Clement went up to his Beijing hotel room for sex with the secret service siren... but was drugged and came round hours later to find his room had been ransacked.

The London Mayor's No 2 discovered the woman had rifled through confidential documents and downloaded details about how the capital is run from his BlackBerry smartphone.

Clement hid the shameful episode from his boss but today he comes clean, admitting: "I fell for the oldest trick in the book."

The £127,000-a-year politician walked into the trap during the Beijing Olympics last year, when he was on a Government mission to build contacts with potential investors for the 2012 London Games.

Clement, who had a partner back in Britain at the time, said: "Before I went out I had to be briefed by MI6. They told me about honeytraps and warned me that the Chinese secret service often use women to entice men to bed to get information. I didn't think for one minute that I would fall for it."

The 44-year-old Tory met the girl at an official party on the opening night of the Olympics. He was accompanying Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell to China and was sitiing just a few rows from then US President George Bush.

Clement confessed: "I know I'm no George Clooney, so when lots of attractive women are being particularly friendly it's not normal.

"At the party a pretty Chinese woman came up to me, gave me her card and asked me to go for a drink. I thought nothing of it but when I got back to my hotel, she was in the reception."

After two glasses of wine, Clement invited the girl to his room. He woke to see all his documents strewn around - and the girl disappearing.

Clement said: "I wasn't thinking straight. I was thinking like a heterosexual bloke who is an 11-hour flight from home. I knew I shouldn't be doing it but by then I was drunk.

"The next thing I knew I was waking up and she was dressed and leaving the hotel room. My wallet was open. She had plainly gone through it but I knew she wasn't a simple thief because ≠nothing was missing. I think we had sex but in truth I can't remember. She must have drugged my drink.

"While I was in Beijing I was making planning decisions from my BlackBerry. We're talking major, major decisions.

"They wanted to know which businesses I was courting. I think she was looking to see my plans, who I was meeting and how the new Conservative administration was working in London."

Clement kept the squalid encounter secret from Boris Johnson. He said: "I didn't call the office in London to tell them. I have never had a conversation with Boris about this. It wasn't a breach of British security on a national level.

"What she had learned from me was economic information about how London is run - it wasn't something that would put the people of the UK at risk so that was why I kept it to myself.

"But it's right to stand up and say, 'I'm sorry, I messed up.'"

Clement lost his job a year later when he was found to have fiddled his expenses. He resigned as Deputy Mayor in June after it was revealed he claimed £156 on meals for his girlfriend.

He had been putting personal expenses on a credit card and paying it back, but tried to claim a date was a meeting with Tory officials.

Clement was convicted and ordered to do community service painting public toilets - and is still wearing a curfew tag. He said: "I'm not bitter. The only person I'm angry with is myself."

If it were Bill Clinton, he would have surrendered a lot more for a single blowjob. :-)

The elegance of China
They sent her to lie here on her back
But as she deeply moves me
She’d rather shoot me in my tracks

She was a Malaysian lady
She really came as no surprise
But I still did destroy her
And I will smash
Halo of flies

- Alice Cooper

When I was working as an Intelligence liason between the US Navy and the Royal Navy for Lord Mountbatten, an asian woman seduced me. However, I figured she was either working for the Kempeitai or the MGB.

“I think we had sex but in truth I can't remember.”

He does really stupid stuff, betrays his Friends and country, and doesn't even have a fond memory to show for it.

This is a classic example from the “Screwtape Letters”.

In the book, it is remarked that getting souls, while fine for Satan, is not the most pleasurable. The best is getting souls while giving nothing in return.

My favorite Warren Zevon verse while I was stationed in Germany:

I went home with a waitrees
The way I always do
How was I to know-oh-oh
She was with the Russians too?

Hmmm...I did have a relationship with a German waitress. I didn't see any Russian in any of the friends and family I was introduced to, and they never spoke Russian...only German. Whew!!!
