You so much make me laugh Paul. I can't say agree with everything David has done, but I always felt sorry for him because he is blind. I hate the way the papers draw him in cartoons as a sprawling blind monster and although I love political cartoons somehow I always felt it was offensive.
At work this blind chap comes in with his dog and she is the picture of perfection in dogs - lying silently waiting for the next command. What torture it must be for a Retriever to sit under a table in a restraunt, surrounded by tables of food and a kitchen and serving area meters away I can't imagine.
I believe Blunkett has his dog with him in the House of Commons too. Oh wait, I've turned this into doggy talk.

I actually never understood Blunkett as arrogant, but maybe I'm just being too compassionate.
That all said - this is political grounds and I have a rather bad reputation here for writing rot.
