David Blunkett
« Alastair Campbell | Back to most recent briefing | North Korea »
Asked what would the Prime Minister say to those MPs who claimed that one reason that the prisons were in the current state of crisis was the mess left by David Blunkett who by his own admission was not concentrating fully on the job when he was Home Secretary, the PMOS said that was a clever way to try and get him to do something that he never did, which was called a book review. Therefore we would concentrate on what we were doing about the prisons now rather than given giving a commentary on a past Home Secretary.
Put that David Blunkett had said the Prime Minister knew about his problems whilst he was Home Secretary, yet he had left him in one of the top jobs in Government, the PMOS referred journalists to the lobby notes at the time of David Blunkett’s resignation where he had said at the time that the Prime Minister knew about the particular relationship.

Why didn’t he do something useful like other blind people, tune pianos for instance, instead of pretending that a man who wouldn’t know if it was Osamam bin Laden grabbing his dick and not bicycle Kimberly was fit to guard the security of the nation. The best of all was when he went to the French detention camp, to "have a look for himself." Talk about a waste of taxpayers’ money, sending a blind man to have a look. Blunkett is beyond parody. It is hard to give disabled people a bad name, but in that, if nothing else, he succeeded. Horrible prat.
