THE LAST DITCH

Mandelson attacks 'extreme rightwing figures' for Gordon Brown pill 'smears' | Politics | guardian.co.uk.

I don't like or trust Andrew Marr, Labour's proctologist-in-chief, but when Grand Pooh-Bah Mandelson utters the words…

"I'm sure Andrew would agree that
everyone has certain areas of their life that they'd prefer not to be
asked about live on TV."

…I can't help but feel sorry for him. Watch your back, Marr. New Labour's smear machine has always mainly targeted its own.

    On reading it, I decided that Marr had either shifted target and philosophy or else he no longer needs the money, as both position and salary will ow be denied him and soon.
    Let the one-eyed GramscoFabiaNazi take all the pills he wants to. Who cares? The damage has been done by him. It does not alter either his status as an Enemy-Class-General-Staff-Officer, or as a personification of purposeful wickedness in the face of reality.

    “I’m sure Andrew would agree that everyone has certain areas of their life that they’d prefer not to be asked about live on TV.”

    The brass neck! Yes. Just as there are many aspects of our lives which we’d prefer Labour to butt out of. Reap the ill wind, Mandy.

    Politicians always seem to avoid answering questions they don’t want to answer. It looks like Mr Brown avoided answering that one.
    I guess they must fool some people.
    I always figured they avoid answering because what they were asked is true, or damning, and they are trying to avoid being caught lying on record.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
