and got rid of the only guy who could refute it... allegedly

Not surprising, but absolute disgrace how they got away with this. it was so obvious at the time and it's only got more obvious since.

In 1987, British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6 reported that Britains premier tool makers, Matrix Churchill supplied equipment to Iraqi arms factories. A little before Blair came to office.

As someone that has just been reading the last 20 odd pages to catch up

Can I respectfully suggest that a number of you guys - not just you - are taking this thread way off track

This is the morning of the election in the UK - should we not be focussing on that?

Sorry!..... I'm really at a loss as to how/why the average working class brit are voting for Tory. Do I really need to go back 700+ pages to get a better perspective?

LOL People who disagree with you are scum. You must be one of those liberal, progressive, understanding, and inclusive lefties.

If you'd seen first hand the devastating effect their policies have had on some of our societies most vulnerable, you might feel the same way.

No. They've been brainwashed into thinking we can't afford anything other than tax cuts for the rich and 5 more years of spitefulness from the conservatives.

I'm at a loss about it myself, because in the not too distant future all the algorithms will soon be making those happy clappers unemployed and they will be tasting their own medicine.

I'm so sorry but as an aged ex brit military, you and many others have been fed bullshit. Proud to be Brit. No I'm not!

I didnt know @worsleyweb was ex military but does explain his viewpoint. Same as my fathers last year, and while tomorrow he will stillvote Tory, he is probably more left than he has ever been. His ex servicemen friends have the same viewpoint as well
