Alastair Campbell: was Vernon Kay busy?
Look who’s back. Alastair Campbell, blood still dripping from his hands returns once more to stink up British politics with his filth like a walking, talking dirty protest. Talk about rubbing our noses in it. Just one more reminder to thousands that we’ll never vote for this revolting bunch ever again.
Someone really should tell Gordon Brown that it’s not the political equivalent of The Beatles he’s putting back together here. New Labour’s greatest hits were on downtown Baghdad and Basra when their bombs were pulverising children. Bringing back Bomb Aimer (First Class) Campbell only reminds us of that, doesn’t it? Shall we run a book on who’ll be first to wander into the woods with their painkillers and pocketknife?
No, it’s not The Beatles Brown’s reforming. Far, far, far from it. It’s empty chancers 5ive he’s putting back together. When 5ive decided to reform, the glorious drawback was they could only get four of them, one having gone on to ‘better’ things. Lack of interest and poor new material meant the relaunch died on its arse. The sense that politics could imitate ‘art’ at any moment is tantalising.

Of course, Brown was up to his neck in the New Labour Project all along. For a while there some of us thought he would come out and show his ‘real’ colours. He did and they were the colours of New Labour
He will do anything to stay in power and avoid utter humiliation. Unable to stand up to his critics on his own he’s brought back the scumbag bully boys who served Blair so well.
My nightmare prediction: A fourth Labour term with Brown as PM and Sarah Palin as US President. Arrrgh!
Lest we forget…

I remember watching that on the night and seeing Campbell’s face. All credit to Howard for calling him out. Why didn’t anyone ever just punch Campbell in the gob?
My favourite story about Campbell is the time he was out jogging and saved a man being mugged. His thanks? The bloke said, ‘Are you Alastair Campbell?’ I fucking hate you.’
You’ve got to be some kind of wanker when even someone you’ve just saved hasn’t got a good word to say about you
Howard nailed him that night. Even on YouTube, it’s spellbinding.
And the fact it’s Howard seems to add even more edge to it: it’s kinda like, yes, everyone knows I’m a bastard, but I’m still confident that when I pin the blame for the stench of the past few years on you, everyone at home - even those who’d never dream of nodding their heads at anything I say - are going to be doing exactly that.
