The Iraq Inquiry

I can’t see the point to the Iraq Inquiry.

Never has so much hot air and money been wasted on so much to generate so little.  Well possibly the Inquiry into Bloody Sunday has wasted a lot more and all of the money wasted would have far better been spent on the victims.

But that is only the start to this pointless inquiry, which will not find anybody guilty and never get anywhere near the truth.  Probably, in my view, because the truth isn’t actually written down and it is much more a cock-up by lightweight incompetents, rather than any conspiracy.

You have to ask why Tony Blair was the politician and his wife was the lawyer.  Perhaps she had the brains to earn the money and he had the style to convince the average man in the street.  Could he convince the average judge and jury?  He gave up the Bar too soon for anybody to find out.

But what really gets me about the Iraq Inquiry is that the best daytime radio programme of the week, the Mayo/Kermode film review has been cancelled.

Shame on the BBC for giving us endless drivel instead of entertainment.  I doubt more than a dozen people outside the Westminster circle are listening.  And that is the problem with British politics.  It’s them in control and us what pays for it!
