Politicians in tears

Although I have sympathy for Gordon and Sarah Brown on the loss of their child a few years ago I am against celebrity style interview shows trying to bring out their human side to the potential voter.

Maybe it was also the sight of Alistair Campbell (someone I have reasonable respect for as he often would tell it as he saw it) almost blubbing during an interview. But the country faces serious issues, I want to hear policies, I want to hear choices, I do not need to hear personal things no matter how tragic.

It's something I do not think does Brown too many favours, maybe cynically it is a jibe at Cameron who now would feel obliged to do something similar.
