Goodballoon's paunch

Blair (and almost certainly Campbell) has made a speech attacking the press, and in particular The Independent, for lowering the standards of political discourse in this country. Apparently in modern day Britain the idea of doggedly following a story, reporting ministerial excess or asking questions of the government is a graver offence than unprovoked attacks on foreign countries, covering up billion pound bribes or selling voting positions in the House of Lords.

What a fucking arsehole.
