Another unbelievable excuse

PravdaThe BBC loyally "report" that

" A spokesman for Downing Street said: "Neither the prime minister nor anybody else in Downing Street, except the author, knew anything about any of these private emails.

"The author of these emails has apologised for their juvenile and inappropriate nature and for the embarrassment caused.

"All staff will be reminded of the appropriate use of Number 10 resources." "

It's just a shame that the preceding line reads:

"He (Damian McBride) stayed on in Number 10, and was given responsibility for strategy and planning."

So neither Gordon Brown nor anybody else in Downing Street knew anything about a smear campaign set-up by the man given responsibility for Labour strategy and planning; well it's a theory I suppose.
