Thankfully the other voices managed to cast Enfield back to the pit of my subconscious and I was able to read on and see Blunkett was maintaining that his diaries were an accurate account of the time.
With that I recalled Sir Humphrey Appleby's observation that any statement in a politician's memoir represents six levels of reality:
- What happened.
- What he believed happened.
- What he would have liked to have happened.
- What he wants to believe happened.
- What he wants other people to believe happened.
- What he wants other people to believe he believed happened.

If Lord Rooker has his way you southerners will all soon be northerners. By then you will have wished that Blunkett had turned his machine guns on Rooker.

Remember,
It wasn't a comedy it was a training video!
I had to turn Radio 4 off this morning as I could no longer bear the self pitying drone of his voice reading his diaries.
Blunkers is a perfect politician his memory only lasts till bedtime.
