Alastair Campbell

I went to the Champions League final in Budapest.

And two things to report, Roy.

The first is, it is amazing how many working-class North London Arsenal fans listen to our podcast.

I even went past a bar with a terrace where this group of fans started singing a song about the rest is Arsenal.

So there you go.

The second thing, the second thing, the second thing was they, quite a few, because this was happening around the, you know, just after the sort of Tony debate thing was fine.

So loads of them saying to me, what do you think of Tony Blair?

There is still a lot of people who are not in the so-called political bubble who think that Tony Blair was the best prime minister we ever had.

a lot of them.

And they think, so you've got to listen to him.

And I will always listen to him.

But I think your point is right.

So I had, as I was walking through the airport and you always get advised in the days when, you know, we used to have the police around the house all the time, they'd always say, if somebody attacks you in the public, just ignore it and walk on.

Okay.

So walking through the airport, this guy starts shouting from about 50 yards away, Alistair.

And I ignored him, Campbell, Campbell.

And he's shouting at me.

And I look around and I thought, well, he's with a little group of friends.

I better just walk on.

He then starts saying, I fucking hate you.
