In the pre internet 1950s Eden's abusive relationship with Benzedrine was common knowledge in Westminster & Fleet Street -the rest of us only got to know about it years later. <br /><br />Having said that, Jug- Ears's attempts at airing the rumours about Broon in a Sunday breakfast TV chat with him does seem inappropriate- and 'ironic', given his record of keeping mum when it suits himself.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-90310055880958457362009-10-01T08:47:18.819+00:002009-10-01T08:47:18.819+00:00Occasional depression in a government leader is pr...Occasional depression in a government leader is probably common enough, under the circumstances. What worries me far more about Brown is his reputed party tribalism and temper tantrums, both of which should disqualify anyone from running a country IMO.<br /><br />Oh, and the real irony here is that Marr got a court injunction not so long ago to stop anyone from reporting some rumour about himself.

Whenever a journalist's uses the phrase 'public interest', they mean whatever is in their propretors' interests, or their desire for higher ratings, or what they want the people to know - not what they don't want them to know.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219870920638914624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-73254153289500583462009-10-01T04:40:15.666+00:002009-10-01T04:40:15.666+00:00I'd say so.I'd say so.JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-74235098178887396152009-09-30T22:09:42.623+00:002009-09-30T22:09:42.623+00:00The question could have been phrased a little more...The question could have been phrased a little more felicitously, but isn't the health (mental or otherwise) of a Prime Minister at least worthy of some discussion?
