This was good TV but a shame it stopped when it did - I was looking forward to the footage of him being found guilty and/or hanged.
I hope Bliar saw it and realised that the characterisation of himself (vain, self-obsessed, shallow, deceitful) is how most of us see him now.
Blair is only too well aware that members of the public have little regard for him. So is Downing Street and so are members of his own party. This manifested itself during the 2005 election. He was rarely seen shaking hands with genuine members of the public. Those that the television cameras filmed him shaking hands with and speaking to were members of the Labour Party bussed in for the occasion.
This was exposed in a very interesting television documentary some months later.
Having Blair stand trial before the International Criminal Court would be the best present a government could give to our country. I think it would do much to salvage what little honour we have left in the world. Even if that wish is never granted, it is an object lesson in the almost dictatorial personal power that now resides in the office of a British Prime Minister. It is about time that Parliament rose to the challenge and reclaimed it from what has effectively become the office of an elected Monarch who enjoys almost the same power as
King James I - a monarch who the people of this country fought a bloody revolution to depose and replace with the authority of Parliament!
