Go, Tam!

Tam Dalyell does it again. In a piece for Red Pepper Magazine on Blair, the war criminal (excerpted here), he lists the reason why this war is wrong and points out that Blair should be branded a war criminal and sent to the Hague.

I'd like to see it, but I don't think we will. On the other hand, Blair is complicit in the murder of every Iraqi civilian killed by coalition bombs and missiles. Murder, we're all taught, is a crime, and if you know of a crime about to take place, you should report it.

Unfortunately, it turns out that Crimestoppers' remit only covers the UK.

But Blair is in the UK.

Depressing, isn't it

But it has mobilised and politicised a lot of people who would normally be apathetic at best. (This is Elinor's inner Polyanna talking, btw...)

There is that, I guess. I'm feeling guilty again, though, 'cos of not making it to yesterday's lunchtime demo.

There's one tomorrow, outside BP Grangemouth, but I think that's more against BP (or whatever they're called now) than against the war itself.

I've a whistle here that has "stop the war" printed on its ribbon, but it doesn't work. No matter how hard I blow it, the war keeps on. Maybe if we all had one and blew it at the same time?
