Kennedy Drink Problems

Is this a historic occasion?

Will we tell our grandchildren we will always remember where we were when we heard the news of Kennedy's outing?
 
he decided that all the reports about Scotland having a drink problem had to be put right. he came out and addmit he was keeping the whiskey industry in profit on his own. He sought help after he was given assurances that there would be no job losses due to the largest customer going on the wagon.
 
What is amazing is that the entire parliamentary Lib-Dem party was fully aware of the extent of Kennedy's drink problem and so was much of the fourth estate; yet the Great British Public was kept in blissful ignorance, instead getting an occaisional snippet which referred to his health problems. Given the Lib-dem policies on government transparency and openness then this must be unparalled in the history of political hypocracy. I just hope that when it comes to the next elections, people will remember & vote away this entire bunch of slimeballs.
 
Like other people have said, and Tealeaf hinted at with the remark about transparency, it does seem quite shocking to hear on the news Charles Kennedy deny he had a problem with drink in recent interviews, only to finally admit it yesterday.

It's not the drink that's the main problem for me, it's the fibbing.

Nearly as good as Bill, I have never had sexual relations with this woman, Clinton.

Excuse me. I've never felt the need to dress up as a woman, and if I did I'd probably be gorgeous, so there would be no humiliation.;)

i think charles kennedy is just the latest victim of the ,,,,,,SEE WHAT DIRT WE CAN DIG UP BRIGADE,,,,,,,maybe they should just get rid of the free bar,, in westminster...
 
It really is absurd...we have a Prime Minister who is a stranger to truth.....and yet he is still in the driving seat.

I can understand why Charles Kennedy wanted to keep his alcohol dependence under wraps......and whether he was going to be exposed or not it was still brave to be up front about his problems.

A poll on ITV today showed that he still had the confidence of 91% of the people who phoned in.....and surely they are the people who voted for him.
 
The PM must suppress all bad bits about himself. We can only guess at what he is up to especially his relationship with GW Bush. ;)
 
I can't get over how absurd it is that everyone is so quick to get on Mr Kennedy's case.
The amount of past ministers that have had drink problems and NOT admitted it is astronomical; Mr Kennedy is an extremely gutsy man and I admire him.
People are so fickle; bringing him down because he is man enough to admit to the BRITISH PUBLIC that he has a problem.
These idiots should be very ashamed of themselves; especially the people in his own party.
