Well, of course they don't, when they still act as though Jo Moore is running their media operation.
The timing of the release of this information is shameful.
"I wonder what proportion of the anonymous pro-Blair choir take the NuLab shilling in some form or another?"
Indeed. They make sure they get the 'astroturf' laid down and then all other posts have to follow on.
I wonder if they are paid from labour party coffers or from the public purse?

What's the Ipswich rape story? I think Suffolk Constabulary should be informed. The last that I heard (via the mainstream media) was that the Ipswich story was a murder case, not rape. Does Number 10 know something?

i for one get sick and tired of these fuckwits such as those nadders points out.
so,it's a non story,well tell me then why the fuck is it still running.
If it was to be a whitewash,it could have been left to lie earlier in the year when most peoploe were saying 'nothing will come of it ' etc.if done then noone would have been any the wiser and the deadtree press would have carried on asd before.

The reference was to the interview taking place from 11 to 1 - that would surely refer to TODAY ? Please can we clarify, since if the interview didn't take place today, then this is the most shameless media manipulation since the Jo Moore / Byersgate incident.

It is quite interesting to see a couple of political journalists spinning the line that they had "heard" rumours that Blair would be interviewed under caution, so their verdict now is that the fact he has not been means he is in the clear? Rumours they did not share with us which they have now followed with a "verdict" that Blair is in the clear because these "rumours" did not prove correct.???? How many days and weeks of planning and negotiation went into this supposed non story coming out today? Was this the ultimate good day to bury bad news for No10?

Guido & Anonymous 4.01 I'll happily stand corrected. But there does seem to be some confusion on the web about exactly when he was interviewed. Which Thursday? Today or last week? Either way, they are still burying bad news. If the interview was today, Blair and Co. scheduled it with Yates to clash with the bad news to be buried....

Interesting that Number 10 are saying that they are not going to go into why it was scheduled today. I would have expected "it was all up to yates" but as they are not saying that one has to suspect the opposite.....
Nothing, but nothing, the dear leader does would amaze me and most all of what he had done depresses me. Let's hope his trip to the middle east is a one way excursion, and that he and Lord Cashpoint get the warm, loving welcome his policies deserve.
