It really was awful. A particular lowlight was when Humphries pointed out that Iraq had created a new generation of terrorists and Blair started going on and on about how Iraq doesn't justify terrorism. Humphries' occassional interruptions to try to get him to address the actual question were never going to succeed. <br/><br/>It reminded me of an old joke:<br/><br/>Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?<br/>A: Fish!<br/><br/>And thank you.

It reminded me of an old joke:

Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Fish!

And thank you. Much appreciated.

The interview with Blair this morning on Radio 4 was cringe worthy even by Blairs standards - there is a true sense of denial.

Think Gilligan was really on the button hence the reaction.

Yes he likes democracy - unless, that is, it is the democratically elected government in Palestine.
The whole episode is a true disgrace.

Really like your blog by the way.
