Hmmm …
You remember me telling you I had an interview, today … ?
Well, I’ve just got back from it.
I think it went well: but couldn’t tell you for sure, those: I’ll find out in a week, whether I’ve got through to round two.
But one thing I do know is that I got back …
And switched the news on.
And found out that Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O’Donnell has refused to allow the Chilcot Enquiry into the Iraq War access to letters between former PM, Tony Blair, and former US President, George W. Bush.
According to Sir Gus, it’s “not in the public interest”.
Personally … ?
I think he’s talking out of his trousers.
Tony Blair took this country into a war.
A war I believe to have little — or no — justification.
I’d like to know why.
I believe those letters may — may — have something to say about it.
For a civil servant to take that sort of line … ?
I believe is incredibly arrogant, and also not in the public interest.
We have, after all, a right to know why friends and relatives in Britain’s were and still are, endangered in what is I believe to be a US — not a UK — war.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
