Tony Blair and Michael Levy

What sort of politician associates with the likes of Michael Levy anyway? He might as well have DODGY tattooed on his forehead. This big-haired, stacked-shod, shiny-suited old pop impresario ought to be an occasional character on Footballers' Wives rather than a real person. Yet now we see, in Blair's failure to call for a ceasefire in Israel and Lebanon, the influence over policy wielded by this arrested and bailed figure and by his crew.
