Darth Blunkett?

The big mystery about David Blunkett is why a blind man should be so unaware of the discriminaton faced by disabled people in the world of work. Perhaps he has simply been incredibly lucky and has not experienced any himself, which would put him in a tiny minority. However, I suspect that there is a more interesting story to be told - a story in which he was able to put himself in a position of influence by having power over somebody in authority. Maybe there is a dark side to the seemingly innocent Mr. Blunkett, and he has been involved in some unspeakably vile acts in his past (and I don't mean sleeping with Kimberly Quinn). As a consequence, he is frustrated that we aren't prepared to go to the same lengths to beat the system. On the other hand, he might be right. Maybe we should...
