My Autobiography By Menzies Campbell

Posted at 5:52PM Thursday 13 Mar 2008



My Autobiography By Menzies Campbell
ISBN: 9780340898666

Politicians are peculiar people. Somewhere in the middle of this imaginatively titled autobiography, Menzies Campbell tells us of the day the News of the World rang to tell him his highborn foxy wife, Elspeth, was having an affair with the then leader of the Liberal party, the boyish and charming David Steel. He then informs us, in some detail, of the various legal mechanisms put into place in order to sue News International (successfully) and prevent other papers from carrying the story, including the names of lawyers and the like.
