The Sunday Telegraph reports that James Purnell, the new Minister for Media and Tourism, wrote a sensible, if critical article, about the 2012 Olympic Games bid back in 2003 for The Times, See the Mayor of London Blog for more comments.
"It is a shame that there is not an Olympic event for "political backpedalling", as the Minister for Tourism seems to be a potential Gold medallist."
It is also very revealing, that the article critical of the London bid, was written for The Times in 2003. The Sunday Telegraph has put their report about this article at the top of their front page, but the Rupert Murdoch owned Times newspaper either did not notice the implications of their own article when the Ministerial appointments were announced, or there is some sort of Murdoch or NuLabour media manipulation going on.
Will the original article get censored from The Times online archive (paid subscription only) ?
