Well done Kate on getting this article published in the New Statesman.

The thing I most loathe about Blair is his hypocrisy. The man’s in the Labour party but ideologically he’s a Tory and a Republican, intellectually he’s a neo-con and his character and personality lead him to be friends with all sorts dubious money grabbing thugs (like Berlusconi, Bush and Murdoch). He may be in the Labour Party but he really isn’t anything to do with Labour.

As I read somewhere the other day, if you’re pet is small and gold and lives in a bowl of water, you can call it Fido, but it’s probably not a dog.
