Gobsmacked!

I nearly dropped my copy of the Guardian onto the train-tracks today. Tony Blair has been awarded a $1m prize for his “international relations work”. It’s difficult to know what to say when you read something like that. The man who helped George Bush into an illegal war that killed many, many people? Who twisted and pulled our democratic system to stretching point in order to launch the war. Tony Blair?! The man who severely damaged the trust of the Muslim world in western power?

I’m awaiting news of George Bush getting an award for eloquent public speaking next….
