Re: Blair
As to the memorial itself, was anyone else underwhelmed by the carving??? - Apparently it cost more that £1million and apart from the bronze plaque inserted in the middle of it, all I saw was a lump of stone with a couple of holes in it.Surely there are stone masons and artists who could have made a more striking structure to mark the passing of those who died in Iraq and Afghanistan???

Apparently the DOE remarked "the writing is bit small".

Re: Blair
When I see these occasions I'm usually struck by the same thought. The architects of the War standing there without a scratch paying tribute to the people who died in that War.I think Blair will end up under lock and key one day. His position is untenable and he has no notion of accepting that. It's driving him up the wall.

Re: Blair
No, I didn't mean the Establishment would lock him up, I think there's a good chance he's going to drive himself up the wall because he just can't accept the position of revulsion he now finds himself in.He already seems to be paranoid, I've read several reports of him being too frightened to stay in any one place for longer than three days, he's constantly on the move and even though he has good security for life (public funded) he's recently been asking Parliament for more, it was refused.
He believes there's a contract out on him.
