Big day for Tone on Tuesday. A vote in the Commons on University Top Up Fees. He's said he will resign if he's defeated. Given his past record in mendacity I don't know why I believe him this time but I do.
How ironic that a man that took his country into war on the basis of a lie/miscaculation/intelligence mistake could be brought down by something as mundane as this.
If he wins the vote then on Wednesday we hear the findings on the Hutton Inquiry into the death of David Kelly. Was it our fearless PM who authorised the leaking of this poor man's name to the press. He was certainly chairing the meeting when the strategy was agreed that led to the naming and death of Dr Kelly. How could he have not known?
When told of the discovery of Dr Kelly's body Bliar was aboard an airplane. The press contingent were told by a clearly shaken Bliar that he was "not involved in the naming of Dr Kelly in any way at all".
Time to go Tone - I'm sure Michael Howard will have a seat open for you.
Of course, like the worms on the end of my fishing line you'll probably wriggle and squirm until you escape.

BTW - I would like to clarify that my expressed disgust at some of the actions and policies of the British Prime Minister and Government should in no way be taken as me being anti-brittish.
