Tony Blair isn’t on trial. However under his prime ministership some people were put on trial with embargos prevailing over parts of the evidence so why should he be spared that that in a mere enquiry?

“Either it all comes out, without restriction, or the hearings should be abandoned.”

The same could have been said of the evidence put before parliament before the war but Blair was happy to embargo some of that.

“Some people have to work with classified information throughout their careers, and this affects all cabinet ministers whether there is war or not. You don’t get to keep copies so you can spill the beans later in a tight spot.”

Make up your mind, is it a case of legal impediment or a case of poor memory.

“Our cabinet ministers are obliged to make their decisions without the leeway of putting the data they get, into the parliamentary domain.”

Which can be convenient.

“Then we expect the ministers to address parliament without using that data.”

Who makes that expectation? I don’t

“Then we reckon we can put them on the spot in a public enquiry.”

Quite right. It’s the same spot parliament was put in.

You have referrred to ’so much filth on that conference room table, (that) you wouldn’t be able to see the chairman’.

If Tony Blair new of that filth he should have revealed it regardless of the legal embargos or he should spill the beans now.

What does he risk, his career, his reputation even his well protected life?

Many have already paid the highest of those prices because of a decision made without (according to you) the benefit of significant information.

Why should Blair be exempt from highly selective and misleading reporting intended to vilify, nobody else is?

So this “master of none” blames the U.S. because his own Islamist brethren have been busy slaughtering most of those “more than a million” civilians in Iraq. Naturally, someone who can shamelessly make such an ignorant, stupid and nasty claim then goes on to blame the Jews for 9.11. And then has the bloody cheek to make physical threats…. What a major asshole… nice way to represent your religion, i’m sure you’ll get lots of converts that way…wow.

Apparently you think so. But that is not a good enough reason, or, for that matter, a reason at all… Do tell why he deserves to be “hung drawn and quartered” (strange wish for a “peacenik”, which I suspect this dolt is).

The level of intelligence, education and awareness seems to plummet by the day lately.

You forgot to mention my penchant for predicting the future too.

Anyway paranoia is a thought process heavily influenced by anxiety or fear and I’ve never met a journo I couldn’t deck.

Paranoia about journalists noted

Hint for you.

When the audience starts screaming “It’s behind yer!”, two things: You have become a parody of yourself, and it really is behind you. And it isn’t coming back old thing.

Parhaps you should take up jihad, or carpet bowls.
