Crybaby MPs
Ex-Downing Street communications chief Alastair Campbell has emotionally denied Tony Blair misled MPs over the intelligence ahead of the Iraq war. According to the BBC, apparently Campbell then either cried, or looked close to tears.
Campbell also said he did not think Gordon Brown had recorded a weekend interview with ITV "with the purpose of crying" when speaking of his daughter's death.
Campbell said: "I've been through a lot on this. And I've been through a lot of that inquiry... and... Tony Blair, I think, is a totally honourable man."
IMO: So was Brutus - perhaps. In Australia, it seems that MPs are supposed to cry occasionally, a matter of political correctness. Totally bizarre, especially when you bear in mind how much many MPs make in bribes and handouts, all money that taxpayers like you and I are obliged to pay. Honest people like the late Ben Chifley and Mamata Banerjee (the author of some 24 books as well as being a politician) should have more credit and respect. Instead, the media simply encourage people like Brown and Campbell to behave like spoilt children to amuse the multitude
