When the Roman Catholic Church admitted Anthony Charles Lynton Blair into its mendacious bosom it was truly welcoming a sinner. His long-suspected involvement in pushing through cabinet the sale of an unwanted military air traffic control system to one of the poorest countries in the world (who did not even have an air force) has now been proved.
Then consider his role in putting pressure on the Serious Fraud Office to drop their lengthy investigation into BAE’s Al Yamama arms deal. The £40 billion deal with the Saudi’s, arranged by Mrs Thatcher, with the help of Jonathon Aitken. Just at the exact moment the SFO had gained access into Swiss bank accounts. And just after he had had a private chat with one of the major beneficiaries - the Prince who BBC Newsnight said made over a billion in bribes from BAE.
So we have corruption; we have perverting the course of justice; we have cover up; we have greed and we have at best a supine cabinet that mainly went along with all of this; and yet again we have no one held to account. And there is no sign of repentance.
Go back to July 1998 and read what he said as a new Prime Minister, "We do, as a new Government, have to be extremely careful ... that we are purer than pure, that people understand that we will not have any truck with anything that is improper in any shape or form at all."

It is astonishing that there are still people around who look up to Blair and who are prepared to pay him obscene sums of money. It cannot be for his moral compass, it must be for his phone book.
Pass the sick bag – and make it a big one.
