Priti 4 Witham

I have just come in from the blistering Gulf heat to catch a glimpse of Blair’s final PMQ’s. But before I could watch the final farewell, I had to endure what I can only describe as the over the top and somewhat ‘gushing’ coverage on Sky News’ of Blair’s departure. Clearly the British media has lost all sense of perspective over the Blair/Brown handover. I appreciate that we would expect to see an increase in media coverage of the back of a change in leader, but please! This type of coverage is down right excessive. With such back to back coverage, is it any wonder that Brown is allegedly considering an early election….
