Grrr. Tony Blair stands up on the conference platform and claims that he's listening, but not in the sense of changing any policies based on what people were saying, implying that he had still more evidence of WMD in Iraq that no-one else in the world seems to have known of, and saying some generally chilling things about asylum, which sounded like getting rid of legal aid for asylum seekers and also the right of appeal against extradition decisions (presumerably that's getting rid of asylum seekers right of appeal, not the Governments when the judges allow them to stay). Highlights here, full text here. Newsnight has just had David 'Insanity' Blunkett on, who has LIED, AGAIN, about public support for his half-baked ID Cards scheme.
