Tangled Widdyweb of Deceit
Ann Widdecombe has recently published this picture on the right, here I am on the left, clearly it is not me but the Conservatives that have been visiting some kind of photo shop.
Apparently people believe these photos are "faked"
I must say that James was rather shocked to see his recent photographs included in an article from the Guardian's media supplement website here :
The Best Faked James Purnell Photos : Purnell's place in history
Though he was of course flattered by the attention his journeys have received, I must remind you all that these images are not faked. This is exactly the type of thing James was referring to in his various comments about truth in the media.
Regardless, I'm including some other photographs from his adventures (and a really nice painted portrait of James and a friend) - though I suppose some people will think these are fake too!

"Other photos still true" says Purnell
After recent accusations regarding photo manipulation, James Purnell has pointed out that this was not his own doing and was also "an isolated incident which should not bring any other photos into question".
It was recently speculated that the photographs of James and the Loch Ness Monster and of James as part of the Apollo 11 crew may have in fact been modified in some form of photo shop. As can be seen clearly in the photographs above, this is not the case.

DCMS Press Release.
"Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a media crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Stalybridge underground. Today, still wanted by the press, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the Department for Culture, Media and Sport."
Purnell: music now and then.
