"Publicist Max Clifford is to represent the anti-bullying charity boss who said Downing Street staff contacted her organisation's helpline.
Mr Clifford told the BBC that Christine Pratt, chief executive of the National Bullying Helpline, had told him she had e-mail evidence to back up her claims. "
Mandelson v Clifford - this could be a seriously heavyweight bout and I am not sure who the winner will be. The only fly in the ointment may be that the BBC quote Max Clifford as saying that 'he was a "very big fan" of Prime Minister Gordon Brown.'
In the spirit of Harry Hill, I hate Max Clifford but I also hate Gordon Brown. But who's worse? There's only one way to find out. FIGHT!!!!
ReplyDeleteGiven that she has now admitted that the complaints about bullying in Downing Street did not relate to Gordon Brown - and, indeed, that at least two of the four pre-date him taking over from Blair - I wonder what it is she intends to prove. This is a shambles - the Tory smear machine used to be world-class, but these days it just takes a couple of enterprising bloggers to pull its efforts apart.
ReplyDeleteEven the BBC's loyalty to Cameron is looking a bit shakey - it only took it a day and a half to admit the links between the NBH and the Tories, and the questions about the NBH's "charity" credentials. And the right-wing press isn't buying it either. If the Tories are losing control of the media, somehow even the BBC, then might they actually manage to lose the election?
One thing Clifford and Mandelson have in common, other than being equally repulsive, is they will do anything for money.
