From todays Live Feed on the BBC website Libya coverage...
1248: UK Prime Minister David Cameron will chair another meeting of the government's emergency management committee Cobra later on Sunday, Downing Street says.
1246: Celebrity book reader Richard Madeley tweets: "Humanitarian aspect of Libya intervention clear, but am still v unsure about this.Why is this our fight?And if Libya,why not Zimbabwe,etc?" 1243: The Libyan state news agency has announced that the government will distribute weapons to more than one million men and women within hours, Reuters reports.
So the tweeted views of one Richard Madeley 'Celebrity Book Reader' are now the news?
I guess it's his celebrity status, his astounding skill of being able to read a book and his ability to pose questions in 140 characters or less that elevate his virtual view to this exalted status.
Or is it his understanding of the nuances of international political diplomacy, combined with a deep knowledge of Britain's position in the modern world and responsibilities as a former colonial power?
