Tony Blair LIED!

Yes, you read the headline correctly - Tony Blair LIED! He was around five years old when the ‘lying incident’ happened and he told his mum it ‘wasn’t him wot done it’ when patently he had.

This is where the current idiocy surrounding the David Cameron ‘once smoked a spliff when he was fifteen’ poo-pile in the media belongs. What a load of utter drivel! Who cares?


How can such a big issue be made out of such a non-event? He was fifteen, for goodness sake!

Why not have real stories in the media for a change instead of this inane dribble? What’s next? Tony Blair pooped his pants? David Cameron did a wee-wee in his nappy? Menzies Campbell kicked his mother from inside her womb?

How about the civilian bodies littering Iraq? The soldiers blown to pieces by roadside bombs? People like this guy, Ty Ziegel, a US Marine Sergeant who took the full blast of a roadside bomb and survived, horribly mutilated, to reach his wedding day.

Maybe the petition digitally signed by over a million motorists who are opposed to the “pay as you drive” system planned by the Government to further penalise the beleaguered motorist is more fitting for headline news? Sign it here!

Perhaps the gun crime currently sweeping the inner cities would be a better expose? After all, one of the latest victims of gun crime, Michael Dosunmu, was the same age as David Cameron was when the so-called, ’spliff incident’ happened. Mind you, Michael Dosunmu, was poor, didn’t attend Eton and he was black so maybe he doesn’t deserve more than a byline? After all, he was in his own bedroom - maybe that’s classed as “a domestic” in the parallel media universe and isn’t worth bothering about?

Maybe the H5N1 bird-flu virus possibly being shipped to every supermarket from the Bernard Matthews processing plant? That in itself isn’t such a worry as the possibility that Bernard Matthews may have imported bird flu from Hungary and introduced it to UK wild bird population thanks to the scraps of meat that often litter a large scale processing plant.

But no, David Cameron might have smoked a spliff when he was fifteen. Thank goodness we have our priorities right!

Time to forgive and embrace Jo O’Meara

Jo O’Meara needs our forgiveness, our warmth and our help. She has been vilified more than enough.

Her breakdown and disheveled appearance on GMTV was not an act for our benefit - she’s a lost soul who can’t understand what’s happened to her in the few short weeks she was in Celebrity Big Brother.

This would be bad enough for her if she had emerged to the overall hostility with a support team around her but for her agent, Tony Fox, to die of a heart attack - and for O’Meara to hold herself to blame - is beyond endurance.

After all, her ‘crime’ was a few harsh words.

Even the most despicable criminals are less vilified. She doesn’t deserve what is now being heaped upon her by us, the public.

I was outraged at the bullying in the Celebrtiy Big Brother house - I even complained to Ofcom at the way the bullying was allowed to go unchecked. The catalyst was Jade Goody - of that, there is no doubt.

To keep this nonsense sense of outrage going beyond the confines of the Big Brother house is ridiculous. Not only that but it consigns the viewing public - those that want their pound of flesh - to the same category of bully that provoked such outrage in the first place.

Jo O’Meara has already paid a high emotional price for her harsh words - let’s not ask that she be completely destroyed or heap even more misery on her. She should be embraced, forgiven and helped through this extremely difficult time by the people who objected to the bullying in the first place - we, the viewers and the public.
