Emotion

Alastair Campbell was overcome and had to take a moment on the Andrew Marr show, when pressed on whether his boss Tony Blair, for whom he was chief scriptwriter, mislead Parliament over weapons of mass destruction. It was all getting too  much apparently, with people ‘settling old scores’.

Yes well… The nation is angry to discover just how little of the truth it was told and just how much of certainty was speculation. And remember this was not a trivial matter. It was about invading another country and going to war. It was about people getting killed, our own brave troops and lots and lots of  innocent civilians. I am sorry it is getting a bit much for the master spin doctor. He will have to get used to it. There is more to come. Much more.
