Originally posted by Cyberman View PostMy point is that a report was never necessary. The UK population supported Thatcher by a massive majority and the report was only done for Labour's party political purposes who had an axe to grind over our best PM since Churchill.
I would also argue that a report over Iraq is not necessary because we all know that Blair lied. It will achieve nothing except cement Brown's job at least until August.

This Government has run on a policy of openness and transparency (LMFAO).

I don't think that can be compared in any way with the circumstances over the Iraq invasion, but of course a twat like you no doubt thinks otherwise.

...I suppose we ought to factor in the dumb-arsed governments that were gullible enough to go along with the plan, not sure what they expected to get out of it though....nothing it would seem.
Wonder how many of our lot will end up as non executive directors of arms companies after the get kicked out at the next election (AKA Referendum on the Labor years).

What the hell is the point of the enquiry if the public can't see it?
