Tony Blair’s premiership can be summed up in one word
Tony Blair feels the heat as he addresses delegates to the TUC Congress in 2002 in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq the following year

GHOSTS will be haunting Windsor Castle today. The hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, the 179 British soldiers sent to die for a lie will be in attendance. 

The occasion is Tony Blair turning up to officially be knighted by the Queen. He may arise as Sir Tony, the victims of his warmongering cannot arise at all. 

But it is their memories that should be recalled today, as this most fraudulent of bourgeois politicians collects his accolade from the supreme symbol of that British imperialism he has served.
