The demon drink
It is likely that the current vilification of Ken Livingstone, and in particular the suggestion that he has a drink problem, is part of a general smear campaign designed to derail his mayoral campaign, however his excuses do give rise to further questions.
In this Guardian article, Mr. Livingstone says that he was drinking whisky at 10am during a GLA scrutiny session, so as to help him 'fend off a cold'. Would this excuse be considered acceptable if an ordinary GLA employee was caught drinking whisky at 10am whilst in the office?
Just thought I would ask.
