BLUNKETT
Says the Economist, "The British are no longer prudish about sex, but we still hate a queue jumper", which seems to capture the matter quite succinctly.
It's difficult to know what to make of a left-wing politician getting along so well (or, um, not) with a right-wing reactionary. Where is their integrity? Did their principles and convictions desert them over coffee? Now, a headline in today's Observer quotes Blunket as saying something along the lines of "I'm a working-class victim of the rich". Eh?! I haven't read this yet but I'm curious that this has come from a man who knowingly had an affair with a married woman for a number of years (and who he also made pregnant on at least one occasion, despite having three children from a previous marriage).
