Boris on Blunkett
Considering the media storm that surrounded his own recent exit from front bench politics, it's possibly not very surprising to learn that Boris Johnson - Tory MP, Spectator editor and occasional host of Have I Got News For You? - has some sympathy for David Blunkett over his resignation. Unfortunately, it's not for the more obvious reasons. Here's an excerpt of what Boris had to say about the whole affair on his :
"... I can't help wondering whether I am alone in feeling melancholy at the ruin of Blunkett. Whatever you think of his conduct of the Home Office - and I am not a fan - it is astonishing that a blind man could begin to manage a job like that."
Yes, it's astonishing, isn't it? Maybe he should have just accepted his lot in life and pursued a career as a piano tuner, eh?
