    There is some suggestion that she married him to dispell the rumour that he was gay.

    No no! It was for his wit, humour, good looks & penomenal skills in the sack!

    Catching a few clips on Newsnight now. I never thought I'd say this but Broon makes Murdoch seem like a saint. Personally I would believe Murdoch's testimony over Broon's. I don't think there is anything the one-eyed git wouldn't do or lie about if he thought it helped his position.

    Also, I really can believe that Brown gave permission for this story to be ran about his kid. Anything to manufacture public sympathy/affection.

    A bit like appearing on a chat show with Piers Moron and crying for the cameras. In the same week a book was published revealing that he was a violent loon and had practically assaulted his civil servants.

    I see he was asked why his wife kept socialising with Rebekah Brooks after this story was published, to which his answer (under oath) is "[my wife] is one of the most forgiving people I know". Rather than what it should have been, which was: "I forced the poor bitch to go because I thought cosying up to News International might be my only salvation come election time."

    I really don't know how he has the balls to say on oath that he never authorised his subordinates to brief against Blair! What a lying sack of shit! Also he didn't explicitly deny that they did it, just that he "hoped not" and "had no evidence of it".

    Theory;
    Parent at hospital has child with same disease as Brown junior.
    Meets the Browns at the hospital during clinic, treatment whatever.
    They discuss children.
    Parent runs to Sun in a cheque book journalism deal????

    It's a phenomenon called "Blair's Shredder".

    I don't recall coupled with a distinct lack of documentary evidence.

    Sadly we don't have proper impeachment processes here.
