I see that after Chilcot there are growing calls for him to stand trial.

What is the betting the bill for his security skyrockets now that (some of) the truth is out. :roll:

We have strong laws to protect our PM's and MP's because they can often be called on to make decisions which will be offensive to portions of the population.

That is obviously open to abuse by the dishonest.

That is true, and so it should be. I can't see that there is any way we can get round that requirement.
It would appear, from what I have read, that Blair had some sort of psychological abnormality in his
make-up, and this was possibly the reason for his behaviour. To have applicants for the position of PM
examined and reported on by a psychologist is hardly a solution that would find favour. I can't see any
answer to this particular situation.

On Thursday David Davis is to file a motion to hold the former PM in contempt of Parliament over Iraq.

If it is accepted, MPs could vote on whether Blair was guilty of misleading the House of Commons and he could lose his place in Privy Council. If that happens he will be open to private prosecution, which members of service families have already said they would like to happen.

Talk about the mighty falling.

Fingers crossed.

There is no doubt whatsoever that he did mislead the House of Commons, his defence will be that he did it unintentionally on the back of "flawed intelligence". :roll:

How strange that this "news" has not made the front pages: NOT.

It is looking likely that enough MPs will support the motion for it to be debated.

It will not happen Frank, it has been stated that he is exempt from such an outcome.. his sheer arrogance infuriates me, the thousands of deaths, men women and children lie at his feet, as does the bloodshed in the Middle East. Religion? His religion is money whatever the cost, the 38 houses they own should be removed from their clutches and given to our homeless ex servicemen who are living on the streets. The man has mental health problems he thinks he is untouchable, up to yet he has been.

Kate, I'm assuming by the name change you have had issues getting re-connected?

Wonderful to see you.
