Let’s get emotional!
Craving attention? Get emotional – preferably on TV. Admit to some illness, show some fallibility.
Oh sorry, Alistair Campbell already did that. So this time he was shedding a very public tear about the Iraq Inquiry.
“I don’t think people care about the truth any more” blubbed Blair’s former spin-doctor. Indeed not, Alistair.
Of course Campbell’s spinning served primarily his own career and did more than anything to hang new Labour out to dry – remember that No.10 documentary which presented the spinner as the true master and Blair his flunky?
“I’ve been through a lot on this” wailed Campbell.
We all have, mate. Not least the parents and wives of dead soldiers and airmen who don’t have the luxurious consolation of celebrity interviews.
Oh, I should add that Cambell has just launched a new novel.
