Tony Blair told us the truth. There, said it. Shocking, isn’t it? Something you would never dream of reading in a family publication. Especially the Spectator, the paper which supports Andrew Gilligan.
Everyone knows, after all, that Mr Blair is a liar. We wouldn’t believe him, would we, if he told us the time. Everyone knows he made up the threat from Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction because none has been found, and if something isn’t found then it proves that it never existed. Everyone knows that this is, well, just obvious.
As a précis of the Blair/Kelly/BBC affair (to which I really didn't pay much attention -- my patience with mainstream media these days is, uh, limited) I thought this was worth reading.
It's by Melanie Phillips, a British journalist, whom I hadn't previously read. My loss.
