From the Independent, October 24, 1997:
"The Independent reveals the most damaging link yet to hit the Blair government. It will severely dent the Prime Minister's credibility in trying to relaunch the nation as 'cool Britannia'. Ian Burrell reveals that Tony Blair is a secret fan of Jonathan King, the man who brought the world 'Una Paloma Blanca'.
"... Mr Blair gushes: 'You [King] have made an important contribution to one of this country's great success stories and this award [BPI Man of the Year] is very well deserved.'
"...Told that he was to receive a message from the Prime Minister, King was clearly surprised.
"'If he says: 'I have smashed up my copy of Una Paloma Blanca and you are a man of no talent and even less charisma', then I would think:'Thank heavens we have someone who speaks his mind'," said the pundit."If he says: 'We consider you to be a great ambassador for the industry', then I shall be sneaking off to the toilets to be sick." |
