Former aspiring US presidential candidate John Edwards has finally admitted that he has a ‘love child’ after having an affair with an aide during his attempt to be nominated. Not only did he initially lie – even though he was supporting the child – but the affair occurred whilst his wife was fighting cancer. How appropriate, therefore, that Edwards works as an adviser to the Fortress Investment Group which is currently propping up Huntingdon Life Sciences and is a top target for Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty.
