And this illustrated very quickly the first flaw of this collaboration between Channel 4 television and the Foreign Policy Centre (FPC), broadcast on Saturday evening amid much fanfare, with promises that the commission’s report would be dispatched to the offices of the Prime Minister and other political leaders. The murderous disaster in Iraq was something for Britain to wring its hands over but it was not something we had initiated nor something we continued to contribute to.

The Metropolitan Police squandered £111,000 of public money on a massive raid against a peaceful antiwar protest outside Parliament, it has been revealed. Brian Haw, 57, has staged a peaceful six-year vigil outside the Palace of Westminster, using a megaphone to signal his opposition to the war in Iraq. But following a legal crackdown, police moved in to remove most of his 40m of banners and placards, part of ongoing establishment attempts to stop his demonstration.

The Australian defence minister has declared that oil is a factor in the Iraq conflict, prompting that nation’s repellent Prime Minster, the racist John Howard, to slap him down and deny that oil had anything to do with Australia’s involvement in the war.
