Who really cares?

So what is all the fuss about David Blunkett then? From what I can make out his detractors are hitting him from a couple of fronts, one being the fact that he had an affair with a married woman, Kimberley Quinn, although single himself, and the other that he influenced the speed that a Visa was issued to his lover’s Nanny because he is the Home Secretary. The biggest media whore MP in the country, the Tory wanker David Davies has been an almost constant presence on the news bulletins in his childlike eagerness to at last force a resignation from The Nanny Government. If you were to listen to this absolute tosser or read the shite bag right wing press such as The Scum, or The Daily Facist then you might be mistaken for thinking that our current Home Secretary had been buggering Cherie Blair in the back of one of John Prescott’s “two jags”, whilst snorting lines of Charlie from the Queens left bra cup, whilst toting an Uzi sub machine gun out of the rear window.

But he hadn’t.

He fell in love with a married woman and she apparently fell in love with him. So much so, that she had a child with him (paternity tests results pending). Anyone who has fallen in love knows one thing for sure……you don’t choose it…it chooses you and the harder you resist the worse it gets. And let’s not forget that no-one appears to making any moral judgements on Kimberly Quinn in all this, just hinting that perhaps a man in Blunkett’s position in the government shouldn’t be conducting affairs full stop, least of all with a married woman. Well why not? Surely this is a private matter between his conscience, his feelings and his lover? It has nothing to do with you or me, the press or anyone else, with the possible exception of the scorned husband, provided it doesn’t affect Blunkett’s ability to do his job. A few people have questioned how he could have conducted this clandestine affair without it affecting his judgement, but this is easily shot down by the “absurd consequences” argument. That is an argument which says that if his ability to conduct his job objectively and professionally is affected then the same principle would surely apply to everyone across the UK who has some sort of personal dilemma in their life. If this were the case then nobody would be able to do their job because we all have issues with some element of our life, be it domestic or professionally. I find the view that some of the press have that the fact he is blind and able to have an affair is even more disturbing. There has been an undercurrent of murmuring in some areas along the lines of “who’d have thought that he could do that, being blind and everything”. That is the more sinister view in my opinion.

As for the Visa application, well what is the issue if he did use his influence? Am I naïve here? Wouldn’t every one of us do the same? Don’t we do favours everyday for those we like above those we dislike? Isn’t this a normal facet of business daily life? Lets put it this way…if I was Pm, then I’d have my own private fucking jet…after all I am the leader of the country. I’d have a nice house; I’d accept large sums of money as gifts from companies…it doesn’t make me corrupt. I’d accept free tickets for Chelsea or the theatre and membership at Wentworth Golf Club etc. Why…because as the PM or a senior minister I can do that. But that’s me and not Blunkett, who seems to be the absolute model of probity and honesty. So if he did use his influence the Visa application, then good on him, because he’s only doing what me and many thousands of others would do everyday…use our influence to help someone we know. Especially if a shag is involved!
