      Observing the career trajectory of Campbell, from pornographer to podcaster, it’s hard to believe that showbiz success rather than public service wasn’t what he craved all along – even if seeing him gauntly entreating us to let him entertain us is like seeing Beria attempting to join The Great British Bake-Off. He is everywhere and has been ever since he hung up his wet wipes after his stint as Tony Blair’s Groom of the Stool. He is on television more than the weather symbol for rain. He’s certainly ‘driven’ – though no wordsmith (it was I who coined the phrase ‘The People’s Princess’) last year he published his 18th book (poignantly, his 2015 publication Winners And How They Succeed was swiftly available from Amazon for 98 pence) heroically entitled But What Can I Do? – ‘a call to arms to people to get more engaged in politics and to fight back against the wave of populism, polarisation and post-truth.’ What a joke. Every institution in this country has been captured by critical race theory and gender woo-woo, and this clown’s bitching about populism. Is he aware that he is the disease, not the cure? Populism exists because elitists like Campbell really believe that they know better than the rest of us; this from a fool who has made more bad calls than an Amish-targeting get-rich-quick phone-scammer.

      He will apparently work for anyone; see his years ‘advising’ the governments of countries such as Albania. To his credit, Campbell turned down the chance to work for Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad – on the grounds that he was ‘a bit dull’. He is a fine example of what I coined the Cry-Bully – a hideous hybrid of victim and victor, weeper and walloper – who will not hesitate to remind us about his Mental Elf the moment criticism hits him in a soft spot. Even this aspect of his personality he has found a way of merching, being a client of something called The Mental Health Speakers Agency, alongside Alex from Love Island and Chico from The X Factor; I’m sure it’s a lovely little earner, rolling in the greens by singing the blues. Furthermore, a man who plays the bagpipes in his spare time is obviously not a friend to humanity.

      @HebrideanHecate @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Blair and his familiars need to be in prison for war crimes.
