Tony Blair appointed as head of European body fighting antisemitism.

Cant he see what damage he has already created in the Middle East, and of course at home sending our troops to war unprepared.

He is such a hypocrite.

Dr. Kelly committed suicide, he could not take all the pressure surrounding him at the time.His wife is a very private woman who continues to get on with her quiet village life.That is all there is to it (I know this for a fact, but cannot say more.)There was never a conspiracy of silence.

Oh I see rose. I have never known much about it so my view was only from what I read and heard on the news, and no doubt it was bulled up to make a good story. Poor man/family, it was an awful business.

roses I am glad to hear that.
It is something that has worried me from time to time since those doctors said it was not possible for it to have been suicide.

In my mind TB has got lots of blood on his [teflon] hands.

Sadly Dr Kellys family have got dignity and do not want to be embroiled in spin.

Will politics get any better from now on?

I think not , but would love to be proved wrong

To arrest Tony Blair. That'll make him shut up again. Not that I particularly want him to, I'd rather he was arrested.

rosequartz Mon 26-Oct-15 14:37:25

Can we extradite Bush as well and arrest him?

nigglynellie Mon 26-Oct-15 15:34:21

No!

durhamjen Mon 26-Oct-15 16:15:39

Shouldn't Bush be shut away in Guantanamo Bay, and left to rot without trial?

Mum used to tell us as kids "if you cannot say anything nice don't say anything at all." I'll shut up then. Mutter, mutter, odious creep, mutter.

Yes it's Mammon. Someone should warn him, *There are no pockets in a shroud*"

Why/who decided it was a OK to employ him in a ticklish area as the Middle East? He ought to do us all a favour in the UK and revert to law. I'd sell tickets grin. Wonder if High Court sessions could be held in the Albert Hall? Standing room only. I'd like that concession.

Today I read his spin, '*we were mislead*." angry Typing my feelings on reading that would be too expensive. sad

Now what on earth will we all read ensue in the Middle East, when lessons won't be learnt, or ignored helped by a good dollop of feigned knowledge.

I ruefully decided to delete umpteen paras, You never know who's watching every keystroke hmm.

Don't download free programmes. They inevitably contain spyware. Nothing is given away freely, there has to be pay back. Uh oh, 'spect I'm preaching to the initiated sad(

Phew, feel better now . I've decided wine will go down a treat.

Cheers. grin

Thanks for the link dj-petition signed, fingers crossed. (We'll get the b.....d yet!)

durhamjen Tue 27-Oct-15 11:35:40

9,000 signatures already, trisher.

Have you seen this one on no confidence in Cameron?
It's had over 250 in the last hour.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/104471/signatures/new

Mind, he hasn't yet responded to having over 10,000, and there are now over 60,000.

durhamjen Thu 29-Oct-15 22:50:07

Cameron petition had over 500 signatures in the last hour, and now has 79,500.

Not far to the 100,000!
