Title: Re: What do people think of Alastair Campbell and why? Post by: nirvana on August 14, 2011, 02:22:37 AM I didn't like him at all in his role with New Labour, though I kind of admired him a bit for overcoming some serious issues in his life.
Now, whenever I see him I like him, might have the wrong readz but he seems to speak intelligently, interestingly, honestly and openly these days. Title: Re: What do people think of Alastair Campbell and why? Post by: leethefish on August 14, 2011, 12:26:57 PM who?

Don't like the major role he played in the movement of British Politics away from substance to presentation. In addition it often appeared to me that he over-did his communications role to actually really being at the heart of policy setting, without being elected to do so Still a good opportunity to re-post this classic YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gkHwU4DRA8 and this one YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85RXPnXDkrc Title: Re: What do people think of Alastair Campbell and why?

An incredibly valid point - that show did an amazing job of making politicians recognisable. It used to be a topic of conversation at school on a Monday. Nowadays they're largely faceless nobodies! As for Campbell, I attended a dinner where he was a guest speaker a few years ago and found him to be very entertaining as an after-dinner speaker, recounting stories of his government days. Other than that I have no particular feelings either way. Title: Re: What do people think of Alastair Campbell and why?
