Your editor is sick to his stomach… hardly able to write these words. For he has just watched the interview between always pleasant Fern Britton and the loathsome Blair.
The man we elected as a Protestant Socialist (who then turned out to be a Catholic Conservative), is currently doing what he can to position himself favourably in advance of his soft-ball inquisition at the Iraq inquiry. That’s the inquiry where he will give evidence in secret, and where they will then pronounce him blameless. And how is he repositioning himself?
As a Man of God.
Simian throwbacks
Not for nothing was Blair known for years as the Vicar. Now he is trying to justify his unhealthy alliance with the simian throwback Bush. He is attempting to explain the decisions made, the lies told. Today, he is anxious for us to know that he is fighting to eradicate malaria. Tomorrow, he will likely change both sex and name to become Mother Teresa. A complete make-over. Although curiously, he will still remain a multi-millionaire. Some things never change.
The Daily Moaner has only one wish in this matter. And that is to see Blair tried by a truly independent tribunal as a common war criminal. It would be an added bonus to witness him swinging from a gibbet, but then, life is filled with disappointments.
