Tony Blair to donate his book advance to injured soldiers

[Suffragette1]

What other sort of politician is there??

 

Some are far worse than others. Although I do agree with your sentiments.

I wouldn't hold your breath for anything fair or groundbreaking.

 

A group of nine prominent experts, including Michael Powers, a QC and former coroner, and Julian Bion, a professor of intensive care medicine, wrote to The Times last week, calling for a full inquest into the death of Dr. David Kelly.

Strangely, the government decided that the inquest should be carried out by... Lord Hutton (again!), during his inquiry into the death of David Kelly.

 

Hutton, who since his days in Northern Ireland, was under the control of MI5, spent less than a couple of hours on the death and few relevant witnesses were called. The Hutton report cleared the government of wrongdoing, while the BBC was strongly criticised, leading to the resignation of the BBC's chairman and director-general.

 

The experts in the letter to The Times, described Lord Hutton’s official explanation for the death of the government’s weapons expert seven years ago as “extremely unlikely”.

Tom Mangold, the MI5 friendly investigative journalist, was one of the leading proponents of the suicide theory. However, he appeared on BBC 4’s “Today” programme to say that after reading what the experts had to say about the death, he no longer believes in the suicide theory and is also calling for a full inquest (Mangold now argues that Kelly died of a heart attack while trying to cut his wrist.).

 

The former Tory leader, Michael Howard, is also calling for a full inquest (Why did he not do so at the time?) It has also emerged on Friday that the attorney general, Dominic Grieve, is seriously thinking of ordering a new inquest.

As it happens, one of his ministerial colleagues, Norman Baker, the Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes, wrote a book on why he thinks Dr. Kelly was murdered. The Tories clearly see that reopening this case will cause embarrassment to the previous Labour government. However, they also seem willing to go along with the [alledged] cover-up. I wonder if Baker will speak out or keep quiet?

 

It seems akin to the House Senate Committee on Assassinations in 1977 that looked into the assassination of JFK. It was no longer possible to defend the case that Oswald was the lone gunman. So instead, they brought in G. Robert Blakey to claim that JFK was a victim of the Mafia.

 

I suspect we will get a new inquest, but that they will confirm that the ruling elite have decided that it can no longer support the idea of suicide and that Dr. David Kelly died the way Tom Mangold said he did, of 'a heart attack'?
