Police today confirmed that a middle-aged bachelor, known to live alone with his dog, might have held grudges towards senior members of the Labour government. Neighbours of Mr. David Blunkett (59) expressed their surprise that the former Home Secretary could be suspected of wishing people mown down in a hail of machinegun fire. ‘He seemed so nice,’ said Mrs. Aimee Pritchard (84). ‘He was never any trouble, though he rarely acknowledged you when you met him in the street. He tended to keep to himself. He also had lots of lady callers. We always thought it a bit odd. Now I come to think of it, he was a bit strange, wasn’t he?’

Police are continuing with their enquiries.
