Beware Weeping Politicians

Alastair Campbell, a man easily identifiable to the naked eye as an emissary of Satan, apparently broke down and wept on Andrew Marr's TV show this morning. It seemed that he was overcome with emotion when contemplating the awful things that have been said about his erstwhile boss Blair, but he later explained that it was about his (Campbell's) latest risible 'novel' being likened to the 'sexed-up' Iraq dossier - which is even more deplorable. I fear we're in for a lot more piping the eye from politicians as the election draws nearer. It's reported that G***** B**** is going to weep when he appears shortly on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, one of the most nauseating shows on TV - for which he was coached by none other than old gusher eyes Alastair. They probably think this is in line with the zeitgeist - all those lacrymose TV talent shows etc - but I very much hope they're wrong, and that all the other lot have to do now is to stay dry of eye and stiff of upper lip. Surely we don't want our politicians, after everything else they've done to us, embarrassing us by blubbing all over the place.

    I find the news that Piers Morgan has been given his own TV show - I'm an ex-pat, whose last memory of Morgan was when he was punched by Jeremy Clarkson - even more infuriating.

    Was it the death of Diana (go on, let it out...it's OK) that kicked it off? From there is seemed to spread like a particularly pernicious virus to all sectors of public life, politics aping sport. Woods, Federer and Murray in recent memory, the loathsome Terry a while ago, and then a slew of politicians, even including the stone-faced Hillary Clinton, jumping on the Kleenex bandwagon.
    I recently spotted a wonderful opposing view of how we should conduct ourselves in adversity, in the Storyville portrait of Tom Cholmondeley on trial for his life in Kenya. Ramrod straight of back, almost expressionless, and when the verdict came in, not a flicker. Could it be the blue blood and the Eton education?

    There ought to be a law about it.

    Dear, dear Alastair only five weeks in and such an Anis horribilis, fear not my boy, your suffering is almost over. Very soon the canker you helped create and now causes you much suffering is about to be erased from the British way of life. You can look forward to a retirement spent in the warm glow of reflection in the little sack marked 'morally bankrupt fifth raters, do not recycle'
    The British people may, in their magnanimity forgive you, there again, they may not.
