Now a general word of abuse, but originally more especially for politicians. However, I'm fairly sure its first meaning was something rather more specific.
"The Wombles" was a children's TV programme about little creatures who lived in Wimbledon Common and picked up trash.
Also at one time Wimble Common was known as a place homosexual men would go in the evening in search of anonymous casual sex.
There was a scandal once regarding a politician who was seen there one evening and who insisted he was, "Taking his dog for a walk".
So a "cockwomble" was someone (especially a politician) whose interests include anonymous casual homosexual sex acts with strangers.
