A short one today. Consider this, dear reader.  Allow yourself to be tempted by the notion that, instead of ridiculing our PM, instead of characterising Blair as the lap dog of the US, we should feel sorry for him.

And the reason we should feel sorry for him is that he's had George Bush to contend with. Think of how much more loved Blair would be if he had seen out his premiereship with a Clinton in the White House, or if Gore had got in, say, or someone else who happened not to have been born with a silver Bible in his mouth.

But no. No he got George W., and because of it, history will remember him as the fool - the fool who did all the wrong things when it most mattered. What rubbish luck, eh?

Yours etc.,

Spinoff.
