I will listen later

Is this the same guy who sexed up the dossier that eventually took us to a war that has opened a real massive can of worms? Well we can believe him then can't we

Or is it the guy who ended up throwing punches at a fellow journo who dared to criticise his employer, Robert Maxwell ?
Or the chap who thought it appropriate to lecture British Lions players on the 2005 tour, accusing them of a lack of heart, and resulting in them wanting to " punch his f*****g lights out " or the fellow who talks openly about defying the democratic wishes of the British people, and now edits a Newspaper, devoted to that particular aim ?

Yep, that's him !

File him on the prick list.

His rise to unelected political power, plus a successful battle against alcoholism and depression, obviously qualifies him to rail against the vote of
the plebs.

On the subjcet of the Podcast - Sean Dyche would make a better PM, but wouldn't want the job.

Anyone good enough to be able to do it well wouldn't want to do it.

Worst sumariser/ co-commentator (on Claretsplayer) I have ever heard!

He does do something positive - he mentions Burnley FC pretty much wherever he goes. Not bad for publicity.

The guy Burnley FC seem willing to give a platform to promote himself on whenever he likes.....

Alastair Campbell is a prick. Simple really.

I echo most of the above statements. Alistair Campbell is a prick.

I never understood why he was never governed by the same travel restrictions placed on the rest of us when travelling to Ewood Park, but was allowed to drive and had a reserved parking space, its not like he's a director or similar, he still Sat in the Darwen end.....

I follow people on twitter, whose political, personal, whatever views I might disagree with.

I follow them because they are Burnley fans and there can never be enough of us in the media.

Knows his stuff about Burnley, clearly as bonkers about the club as we all are and he annoys the hell out of every single Brexiteer. Whats not to like?

Being a Burnley supporter is his only redeeming feature.

What's not to like ? It's easier to answer 'what's to like ?' He's a Burnley fan that's it. Not keen on this preferential treatment he's been given by the club. Not everyone likes him or agrees with his views or role in the Blair lies.

I think he’s great.

He plays the pipes and is a devoted Claret.
I forgive him being a Campbell (almost!)

He may be the best PR/Spin Man in the history of the UK Politics, but I'm not sure Darren Bentley would see him as an asset

His twitter feed is amusing to read.

Like someone mentioned above, his seemingly only redeeming feature is that he’s a claret.

He was also very good at his job. Whether you agree with what his job was is a different matter.
Interesting that Bernard Ingham was a Claret too, and he was an equally divisive character.

What has the lead singer of UB40 been up to now?

his name is Alastair. Try harder to get it right. He's a good bloke.
