I can remember as a child if Prince Charles broke wind it was front page news, and the leader on Pathe world news. Tony Blair and his like are only minnows compared with the great politicians West Ender has mentioned, they risked prison for treason for their then 'radical' views, the things that all of us now take for granted.
