The nation seems to think they have a right to know about the man’s private life re: use of anti-depressants. Why? Because he is running the country so naturally, it is their duty to know. Andrew Marr, has opened Pandora’s Box with a most unnecessary question causing debate and opinion everywhere. Are people not allowed private lives anymore or does being Prime Minister mean that he is no longer human and that his life is your life and your business??
Hasn’t the Prime Minister got enough on his plate and mind without having to now deal with gossip which most likely has and if not, shall become the nucleus of his political suicide.
The justification that ‘the public has the right to know’ is plain silly – how will the taking (or not) of anti-depressants affect the way he runs the country? AS IF the man at the top actually runs a country: its those around him that do. Let’s look across the very large pond – AS IF George Bush was running Amreeka… It was the Neo-Cons around and behind him that were!
Honestly, there are more important issues to give attention to like … Alistair Darling’s eyebrows, for example.
(*Just a thought*: Hope Andrew Marr and those who insist it is their right to know, have never taken St. John’s Wort or such to that effect, in their life)
