The more power they think they have, the lower standards seem to drop.

May I remind you what paper you read this in. Why would you believe what is in the Sun on Sunday??

And if it is true, it's an unattached bloke dating an unnattached lady isn't it? Controversial indeed

Personally, I don't give a rats *** about it. But, if it is true, then no. The lady is *not* unattached, she is married. Which IMHO is wrong.

But knowing the sun/notw, they've not told to whole story.

So she's married but she could have been separated for donkeys years for all we know and had never gotten round to sorting a divorce out. We just don't know. And given the publication in question, we probably been fed much iffy info and probably crucial info witheld. I'd ignore the whole charade until more reliable sources inform us.

In any case, I don't think anyone really cares that much.

I think if Blunkett was still "happily married", and he was seeing a single woman, it'd be viewed differently....

...as it is, given the man is single and the lady is "married", some see that as 'ok'.

Both immoral.

What does it matter - even if it's true it's none of our business and it hardly affects his ability to do his job.

As an aside it's laughable how people believe everything they read in the press when it suits them.

It may open the way for someone to blackmail him.

I see Leslie and UB are taking their usual chance to take cheap shots at the gov't.

Free country i guess,but it does become rather boring.

Boring? Perhaps. Necessary? Absolutely!!

Every opportunity to remind people of how poorly New Labour administer our country needs to be exploited to the full.

Well I for one am much better off under new labour than ever I can remember under the tories. There is no way I could have afforded to move to this house three years ago under their regime. Unfortunately I do not agree with the war on Iraq.

So, massively inflated house prices and rising interest rates are not a problem then?

You should realise that the apparent economic stability we have is an illusion to which the many currently subscribe.

It's a New Labour creation that's designed to make people 'feel good'. It seems to work - apparently.

Personally, I prefer to be told the truth. But then again, maybe I'm just weird?

So what happened under the tories? Massive house price increases AND mahoosive interest rates causing negative equity. I do not think the very small rises we have had can be blamed for any of that do you? And I am not sure any government is directly responsible for house prices, that will be the I'm all right Jack estate agents (agents of free enterprise) that Maggie created. "Down with Communities"

Ah, the good old 'Thatcher' get out clause.

Don't get me started....

Suffice it to say, the first person 'darling Tony' visited when he took office *was* Thatcher.
