Reply to: Mr Blair has apologised for mistakes he made

[NigelJK]

Revenge for only being allowed 2 jags. He wanted 3 one peerage, like all good Socialists.

FTFY

[WTFH]

LOL.

Those medical records are locked away for 70 years, if we are talking about David Kelly's.

Wonder why

I was thinking more about the "findings" of Hutton...

That Andrew Gilligan was wrong - allegations he made against the government were "unfounded".
His report claimed that claims made in Tony Blair's intelligence dossier on Iraq - that Saddam Hussein could launch attacks with weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes - were probably known to be wrong by the government before they were placed in the dossier.

That the management of the BBC failed to check the details of Mr Gilligan's story as soon as the government complained that it had raised grave charges against them.

That the resulting resignations of BBC executives and employees were unnecessary because the findings were false.

So does this open up the Hutton Inquiry again? After all it said TB was an angel and the BBC were liars.

After the first 5 seconds, Bliar wouldn't feel a thing

Apart from the wet patch...

[OwlHoot]

I guess he never watched Wag the Dog.

Nah, most of those old black and white kids' programmes were a bit before my time.

But I do just about remember Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men

Probably only watches Shag the WAG.

New to David Kelly?

I've never really understood all this Blair hatred.

It was the Septics who screwed up in Iraq and Libya. All Blair did (albeit somewhat deceitfully it seems) was get the UK into the party, to bolster our relationship with the US. That sounds to me pretty patriotic and commendable on a strategic level at least, however messy the whole campaign has turned out since.

Yes, I know Harold Wilson kept the UK out of the Vietnam War, and arguably Blair should have done the same with Iraq. But Iraq was different, because unlike Vietnam it was a traditional area where the UK had been heavily involved not long before.

But I'm certainly not a fan of TB after he mentioned last week the possibility of a second EU referendum!

[original PM]

I was hearing on the radio that one of the problems was he was saying one thing to George Dubya and another to parliament for about a year.

And ultimately what he was saying to George Dubya was what happened.

I think he could be in a bit of bovver and he really should be - seems like a huge abuse of position to me.

John Prescott has left Blair wide open after his weekend declaration:

Based on the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be Leo Blair apologising for not wearing a condom 64 years ago.

[NotAllThere]

No-one in parliament will sanction him. They will be too worried they might get sanctioned themselves in the future.

Yep. Setting a dangerous precedent.
