Alastair Campbell

Asked if the PMOS was aware Alastair Campbell had periods of depression whilst at Downing Street, the PMOS said that issue came under the heading of personnel matters. Therefore he would not comment.

Asked if the PMOS got depressed, the PMOS said it was his job not to get depressed even when confronted twice daily with the parliamentary lobby.

What a shame for poor Alastair. I bet David Kelly was feeling a bit depressed himself when he took his life, at least partly because of the pressure exerted by Campbell and Blair to spin the intelligence and its ramifications. Like the grotesquerie in Washington, our government and its consultants have crossed every line of ethical and political decency which exists. For Campbell to play for the sympathy vote on the grounds of depression in the light of the Kelly case is like Bernard Manning applying to the Race Equality Commission for a grant.

What should happen is that a fucking big cruise missile should come through his roof, blow his obnoxious "partner" and doubtless vile spoiled "kids" into pieces and while he’s shuffling about looking for pieces of liver and brain and eyeballs to bury Fuckwit Hoon should stroll past and simper to him that collateral damage is the price we pay for democracy. And then he should be put in prison for a very long time
