Blair's daughter's attempted suicide bid

dove_from_above [Edit] [Delete] 11:11, 2 September '08

Did anybody else not know about this? Am I the last person to know? Apparently she attempted to commit suicide in 2004, at the age of 16. The government requested a media blackout, and the press agreed to it

If you Google it, you'll find it's a pretty open secret

Would this have been in the public interest, in your opinion? Plenty of people would say that an attempted suicide bid from the Prime Minister's daughter is very much in the public interest. I'm not so sure if it is, personally. There seems to be a fair amount of debate about it online though

I find these mass media blackouts quite interesting. Prince Harry on duty is probably the only other one I can think of off the top of my head
