My name's Alastair Campbell.
I am a writer, communicator, strategist, and used to hang around in politics.
And I'm a francophile, and I love Jack Brell.

I was a student in France.
I was busking with my bagpipes.

And I had a flat back in Nice where I was an assistant in a school.
And I was hitchhiking back, and I got picked up by this belgian lorry driver.
