That Iraq Inquiry In Full

Blair lied.

And that lie has made him enormously rich.

There. That’s it. There is nothing further to say. And since the only purpose of this Inquiry is to arrive at that (entirely accurate) conclusion, then it may as well get on with it. If it doesn’t, then there will just have to be another one, and another one, and another one, until the correct verdict – for so it undoubtedly is – has been arrived at.

We are told, however, that this Inquiry will examine the death of Dr David Kelly. It ought not to do so. Instead, there should be the one thing that, glaringly, there has never been: a Coroner’s Inquest into that death.
