What if you were trying to hit on a girl and you find out she's a hardcore socialist? Would you still tap that?

It would turn me on. #sleepingwiththeenemy

Tony Blair knowingly gave the Parliament "information" on Iraqi WMD's framed as intelligence when it reality it was something that an MI6 agent heard from a taxi driver, and the agent in question pressed for this not to be taken seriously. This is a war crime.

Me. Blair also took away the treason laws and organised mass immigration to change the nature if the country and rub the nose of the people in diversity.

Should Mr. Blair be tried for treason now?

I don't think treason would be a suitable charge. However, for invading a peaceable nation - an act banned by the United Nations - he should be considered for trial for war crimes.

The fact that there are many other people who should also be tried for war crimes for the same reason is no reason not to try any of them.

Normally, the test used for deciding whether to try someone is a 'reasonable chance of conviction.' I think the evidence is there, the legal precedent is there, all that is needed is the political will.

They would have invaded without that intelligence. The Americans wanted Saddam gone and we their good little pets wanted to come along to feel important.

Proof evidence ?

From what I recall, there was never a consensus within the intelligence community as to the state of Iraq's program. Whilst the months and weeks leading up to the war offered a platform to the voices which advocated the belief that Iraq was producing these weapons, the years following the actual war saw the opposite. So I have to wonder why people, even now in hindsight, reason that Blair acted on the intelligence he was given at the time when we've come to know, even more plainly, that the intelligence was questionable and indeed questioned by many insiders.

The logical conclusion was that war had been decided first and then intelligence gathered to support the goal of removing Saddam.

No, he may have betrayed Labour but I don't think he betrayed the country.

Or the aliens at Roswell did it.

See what happens when you make wild claims without evidence to back it up.

What damage did the banks do again other than get a bail out loan which we'll get back.

We were subsiding british coal for decades and never saw the over spend returned. Yet we never hear the end if it about how hard done by they were.
