Finally, writes Fraser Nelson, "the Labour confession we've been waiting for". And indeed an opus no doubt although the dirt flinging spin cycle certainly won't be washing the dirty laundry that much whiter because by McBride's own confession the vast majority of the lies, deceit and mud-raking remains crusted and ingrained in his head. However, there is one glaring error: FN says "He hardly ever turned his formidable firepower on Tories. His battles were red-on-red." hmmm, what about the infamous Smeargate, which led to his downfall and when, hilariously, a spokesman for Number 10 (with Crash Gordon) said: "Neither the prime minister nor anybody else in Downing Street, except the author, knew anything about any of these private emails." PAH! Linked from the article above (the 'writes' link) is another piece by FN seven years ago (!!!) about 'The eight who know Britain’s future' (the octet of this blog-post title): "get ready for a government in which Cabinet truly has been replaced by cabal." Ed Miliband and Balls (£) et al will no doubt have a more interesting conference season now: how much was known by whom of this evil, snide, lethal, bastard, focused, loyal, Machiavelian, vile, thuggishness, McPoison, McPrick palaver? [delete as applicable]...it started with Blairites but it finished with Brownites. Cunts. "I am reckless what I do to spite the world." [Independent].

Perception is everything isn't it? From McBride to Campbell, Ian Dale to Guido to biasedBBC to the BBC itself, it's all about telling people what they want to hear. The difference is that people like McBride have the ear of the people who have the real power, not the power to run the country but the power to ruin lives beyond the very insular world of British politics.
We should be very angry, not surprised, but disappointed and angry.
Yes indeed. disappointed is a long time ago now, today people say they expect it, even sadder!
