Kelvin MacKenzie keeps his mouth shut

Former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie will be no stranger to the tactic of doorstepping, so Channel 4 News chief correspondent Alex Thomson sought to give him a taste of his own medicine when he turned up at his home to ask him about his coverage of Hillsborough . MacKenzie was less than keen to talk ("I'm not going to do it, I will talk about it next week," said the former Sun man) but a persistent Thomson wasn't giving up. So much so that he wedged himself in between MacKenzie and his car door , preventing the ex-editor from driving off. Here's a taste of the pair's increasingly testy exchange. Kelvin MacKenzie: "Can I close my own door?" Alex Thomson: "Not until you have answered that question." KM: "It's not up to you to decide whether I answer the question." AT: "I just did, Kelvin." KM: "Please Alex, it's not reasonable." AT: "That's pretty rich coming from you Kelvin ... The public are going to love that Kelvin ..." MacKenzie, it turns out, is saving himself for next week's Spectator magazine .
