Alistair Campbell makes me laugh

Post by LordBob » Fri Jun 09, 2017 2:13 am

I know he is the self appointed number 1 Burnley fan and his passion for the Clarets is as great as any other but when you look at his career I see shady bits. Did he write made up horny stories in a magazine called Forum in the early seventies before he got a bit part on a lefty paper and then through his natural charisma, don't like saying it but he does have it, started reviewing the papers on the BBC early news prog years ago in fact the morning after beating York, super Johnny Francis, he was doing the review and he really did us proud, all sorts of **** going on on the world but he stunned the studio when he said that the biggest story overnight was Burnley's rise from the fourth division. So here I am I love him and hate him, can't do with Blair the Mass Murderer and Alistair's political anchor but he is so BURNLEY, he's on the telly right now and that's prompted this, bit of a Sophie's Choice.

But we MUST like him, he's a Burnley fan. The same as we have to like Prince Charles because he likes Burnley too.

All the people who protect him on here are the same people that would rip him to pieces if his shirt was of blue and white halves.

No doubting his passion for BFC but he was implicit in the Iraq affair. I would prefer he wasn't associated with us and he should be keeping a low profile not constantly trying to raise it.

He's got a single redeeming feature, he's a Burnley supporter.

Unfortunately, even that doesn't redeem him. The guy is a massive prick.

With every job he's had there has been trouble. Even the Rugby Lions Tour of 2015 that he was involved with was shrouded in controversy and was one of the most troublesome tours in history with plenty of back stabbing!

He is a Claret.

He is Labour

He can play bagpipes

He hates Tories.

Good enough for me.

He might hate Tories and be a Burnley fan but he was certainly involved in the lies and the subsequent death of UK troops and Iraqi civilians

I don't like him but he was good at his job. If labour could play the media bullshit game with someone like him around (obvs definitely not him) who knows what the result would have been

What's all this bullshit about hating Tories?
A lot need to grow up on here. Strong word hate. Unless your own Civic duties match I don't think your qualified to use the term.

He has made it pretty clear, over many years, that he despises Tory politicians and all they subject on the ordinary person.

He likes Foxes too!

Can't stand the guy, at least that's one thing that unites the left and right.
