How Low Will Alastair Campbell Fall?

It’s a new low in terms of hypocrisy and barefaced lies when Alastair Campbell

has a go at the media

for giving Cameron an easy ride. He says the media are being mean to Gordon Brown and won’t ask Dave about drugs. Which leads to TB to wonder if Campbell is back on the sauce? He cannot be serious.

This is coming from the man whose ruthless stance as media Pied Piper drove a man to suicide. But hey! You know, some diaries here, a “v-log” there and he’s everyone’s favourite insta-pundit now. How can Campbell dare suggest that the media are going too hard on Gordon when he devoted years in opposition to systematically trashing Major’s reputation and undermining him at every turn, something his credibility as a politician has taken more than a decade to recover from.

And the media going soft on Cameron? Oh please, he has been tried and tested and has passed the test. Accept that people want him to lead; the media know Brown is on the way out, they know he is useless and frankly they know he is toast. Was it any different when Campbell was harassing hacks, making and breaking careers, dominating the tabloids? No of course it wasn’t. Blair didn’t get his early holier-than-though, check me out, nice guy image by accident did he! Just this week Campbell admitted to a group of students at Glasgow University that the only flaw in the Malcolm Tucker portrayal of him was the fact he didn’t swear as much, so forgive TB if he calls this bullshit out in no uncertain terms.

The entire rant by Campbell smacks of desperation, smacks of bitter resentment that his mortal enemies have learnt from his mistakes and he is clearly finding it hard to accept that frankly some new kids came along who are better than him.

Time to go back to the porno novels mate.
