Jacqui Smith on FiveLive

[NetworkGuy]

Did anyone else listen to Porn Again (1 hour documentary by Jacqui Smith on Thursday evening).

Have to say they could have found a more flattering photo, at least one with a smile, perhaps, unless they felt it would go against her after the MP's expenses trouble...

I have listened to the broadcast, and am part way through the Tony Livesey phone-in afterwards, and talk about 'never letting go' - she had enough made of this issue (caused by her husband) at the time, but Tony is like a broken record, dragging up the history again and again.

I feel sorry for her, actually, both because she is under the spotlight where someone else would not get such attention, and because as a former Home Secretary, her admission to have never seen any porn makes her sound as if she was wrong for the job (though I take the point, you don't have to have dabbled with class 'A' drugs to legislate against them).

I just looked on Wikipedia and see she says the job was a headache (she intimated being out of her depth) and then found a BBC photo with her smiling - much nicer!
