Conspiracy Special: Did Alistair Campbell Secretly Crunch Down On A Fisherman's Friend In The Andrew Marr Interview To Give The Impression He Was About To Cry?
Did Alistair Campbell fake his almost-starting-to-cry incident on the BBC yesterday, by hiding under his tongue a Fisherman's Friend sweet, and then secretly crunching down on it in the interview to give him a shortness of breath so that he would look emotional?
This apparent conclusion follows our close examination of the video recording of the Andrew Marr interview, below.
Campbell appears to chew down on something in his mouth shortly before losing it, and then becomes short of breath, just as he would have done had he crunched down on one of those pungent Fisherman's Friends.

Video evidence
It is a well known PR trick that if you want to put some apparent emotion in your voice you crunch down on a Fisherman's Friend and it takes your breath away giving the impression you are about to cry. Many cry anyway if they are not used to the strong taste, which has been described as like a 'menthol Marmite'.
Of course, we may never know what happened, unless Andrew Marr can testify what Campbell's breath smelt like.
But if this has happened then how shameful that it's come to this.
It's a bleedin disgrace.

Campbell Cries Plan B
An all media, Labour tear warning has been put in place for all Labour interviews up until the next election, following a series of tear filled interviews yesterday.
Halting speech, shriveled chins, wonky voices as if they are about to cry, tears dripping from the eyes dapped ten seconds after to ensure a good picture, are all now forecast.
This follows years of almost chin punching and interviews on the telly which some say turned award winning host of Channel 4 News, Jon Snow, grey before his time.
An email intercepted in our offices told Labour supporters:
"When appearing on the telly, now is the time to show your emotion. We are real people. Real people cry when they are asked awkward questions they don't know how to answer."

Why Is Everyone So Cynical About My Tears, Alistair Campbell Breaks Down Second Time In A Day
Alistair Campbell broke down a second time in 24 hours today after he was told that in a phone poll that nobody thought his tears were genuine.
"It was more like he had just eaten something hot like horseradish, I was expecting him to burp," said one observer.
Conspiracy claims that the spin doctor's spin doctor had a horseradish tablet under his tongue and he crunched it to make it look like he was emotional, were dismissed as ridiculous last night, but still rumours persist.
But looking closer at the video it looks like Campbell chews down on something, and then after taking a deep breath starts to splutter, as if he had eaten something really hot.
