This exhibitionism asserted itself somewhat differently in one of the most controversial incidents of his life. In the early hours of 21 October 1977, three days after his thirty-sixth birthday and close to the peak of his advertising career, Bell stood naked in the bathroom of his second-floor flat at 13c West Heath Road overlooking Hampstead Heath, and exposed himself to several women while masturbating. At 8.35 a.m. he was arrested and a month later, on 19 November 1977, appeared at Hampstead Magistrates Court. According to the official conviction certificate, he was charged with ‘wilfully, openly, lewdly and obscenely’ exposing himself ‘with intent to insult a female’ under Section 4 of the 1824 Vagrancy Act. He was found guilty and fined £50 with seven days to pay. Curiously, this newsworthy case was never reported in the local newspaper, the Hampstead and Highgate Express and only his close colleagues at Saatchi’s knew of it. To his credit, Bell never flinched when the incident, which later assumed an importance of some magnitude, was raised. He admitted the conviction but denied that the event took place. He confided to a colleague that his lawyers, Butcher Brooks and Co. advised him to plead guilty to avoid a scandal.

Tim Bell – rogues and vagabonds and bare… oh my!

Life's just a fascinating journey of knowledge isn't it.

Probably during their back to basics spasm

 

[JimW]

Pleaded guilty to multiple indecent exposure charges to avoid a scandal, pull the other one - no, not like that Tim.

 

[danny la rouge]

I’m always admitting to scandals I’m not guilty of in order to avoid scandals.

No, wait. That’s not right.

 

[Sprocket.]

I hope the gravediggers go on strike!

Frack Tim Bell

Makes you wonder what he was _actually_ doing that this was the better option to admit to.

Wonderful skin tones in that photo, really captures both the ruddy Tory wanker complexion and the vampiric pallor.

Is he demonstrating his famous grip as well?

Frack Tim Bell

A dose of the tremors perhaps.

"In the 80s the Left said that policies to create mass unemployment was a way to weaken the bargaining power of trade unions. Of course, they were absolutely right." Tim Bell on The Secret State, 2002.

Tim Bell isn't breathing might have worked too.

Never knew about the wanking thing. Has there ever been a tory who wasn't a massive sex case?

Thing is, the cunt wasn’t even really responsible in any way for that ‘Labour isn’t working’ poster, he was just a higher up at S&S who took credit for it.

The poster itself was produced by another cunt called Martyn Walsh who hoped for 100 Hendon Young Conservatives to bring along their parents for a photo shoot. He got only about 20 and spent the day photographing them (out of focus) again and again to create the image of hundreds of people when he stapled the pictures together.

The picture went to the bottom of the list at S&S out of all the choices they had and presumably Bell takes credit for picking it out and saying “how about this one?”

Wanker.

It is pretty bad. They were all pretty bad. There's this idea that goes round that S&S was some sort of evil genius agency that produced amazing works of propaganda whereas in fact their Tory ads were all just rubbish. I wasn't old enough to really remember "Labour Isn't Working" the first time round, though I've seen it a lot since then, but it's just as bad as their other highly lauded ads like "Labour's Tax Bombshell" and the "demon eyes" one (which I definitely remember). "Demon eyes" won an award apparently which shows the sort of useless tossers who populate the ad industry.

Bank Holiday Monday, few beers in and a bit caned and all that but fuck me; the horror. That photo's freaked me right out. She's clearly hungry and needs to feed, he's all ripe from the blood of the poor.

The best was the one that asked ‘Do you want socialism by the backdoor?’ for some euro election. Widely graffitied with the words ‘yes please’

Ah! Thanks. I thought the story was something like that. I'm sure the BBC meant to say that the poster *purported* to show a snaking line of unemployed people, rather than that it did so.
