So Jack Straw is in the news, saying "Yeah, sorry about the Terrorism thing, I don't know what we were smoking, yeah, Tony hasn't been sleeping well recently... That man calls us a poo-poo head!" Yes, in order to distract from Blair's attempts to push more draconian laws past the bleeding-heart liberals known as MPs and the ensuing row about whether the police went too far in trying to influence the vote, Jack Straw is trying to say "Look! Over there!" about a former ambassador's memoirs about the time when the U.S. and the U.K. were trying to get the world to support the invasion of Iraq.
This is a sign of how bad things are in Government right now, they'd rather we talk about the illegal invasion of Iraq again rather than the loss of Tony Blair's authority and credibility, and his possible politicising of the police.
