My thanks,as ever,to Rantin Rab for bringing this story to my attention;feel free to access the story in full on his page,17 Feb,also on Canadian Content Forum on the same day.
Now,I was living in London at the time of the Dunblane massacre,but soon after,I moved back to Ayrshire for 5 years. During this time,I heard various mutterings about cover-up,links to high places,etc.
I confess that I put it down,at the time,to the usual conspiracy theorists with tinfoil helmets.
You know the type.
But now to read this story,and the level to which the cover-up has ALLEGEDLY reached,and the length of time that this cover-up has been going on,the lengths that those in authority are seemingly going to to keep it quiet,it all makes me wonder why I ever take anything at face-value anymore.
I thought I was by nature a cynic;now I know my instincts were correct all along.
TRUST NO-ONE,ESPECIALLY IF IN A PROFESSION WHICH MEANS THEY SHOULD BE ABOVE REPROACH,AND DON'T BELIEVE A BLOODY WORD FROM ANY OFFICIAL ORGANISATION.
MOST OF ALL,READ THE ORIGINAL STORY,AND BE RIGHTEOUSLY OUTRAGED AT EVERYONE INVOLVED.
AND LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT-IT'S STILL SUBJECT TO D-NOTICE IN THE UK,SO IT WON'T BE IN THE SUN ANY TIME SOON!

BOYS DON'T CRY-THE CURE
Aye,Boys Don't Cry,by The Cure. Those hazy days of the eighties when men were men,and so was our bloody Prime Minister! Can you imagine ole Maggie breaking down on national TV-all right,she did when Mark,the boy blunder,got lost in the desert,but I'm sure there was an onion or three involved-no,not a chance,and Robin Day and his ilk would never have allowed it.
Or Bernard Ingham? Tears on TV? Only from the unfortunate interviewer on receiving a pair of sore plums from Maggie's favourite bluff Yorkshireman.
So we move forward to 2010,with a more touchy-feely form of government-more answerable to the people,don't you know,so much more inclusive-and at virtually one and the same time,Gordon Brown and Alastair Campbell are putting on the waterworks. Coincidence? I think not....
With the PM,however,the subject is a very sensitive one,and I would defy any man in his position not to shed a tear;however,to have allowed the subject to be raised is at best an error of judgement. Campbell,on the other hand,I smell a rat.
This man would face down a charging elephant without blinking,take your best shot,and ask if that was the best you can do. In 16 years in frontline politics,and many years in the tabloids,he never flinched.So why now?
Why ask?
