Alistair Campbell's New Blair Bio



(image via scotsman)

It is testament to the powers of free speech in the West that Alistair Campbell, the former Director of Communications and Strategy for the former Prime Minister gets to do a tell all on his time with Tony Blair. From The Economist's Bagehot:

".. We see Mr Blair, Mr Clinton, Romano Prodi, Helmut Kohl and Wim Kok all peeing together at a NATO summit; Fidel Castro praising Mr Blair's 'Third Way'; an African president pinching Mrs Blair's bottom; the Blair children teaching Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness to skateboard; Mr Brown locked in a toilet, during a row over whether he or Mr Blair should be Labour leader; Mr Campbell, Mr Clinton and Kevin Spacey visiting a McDonald's in Blackpool; Mr Blair borrowing a suit from a man on a runway in Bangladesh, because his own is too crumpled. This volume is 757 pages long—and Mr Campbell is threatening to publish more."

Oh.. do; Oh, please do.
