to look over my emails and would like to thank those who sent me good will=
messages particularly my good friend Nasir Khan. Much more important today=
however, it has been Blair's evidence to the Chillcot enquiry reminds =
that reminds me of the time when at New Cross hospital an important aide to=
Tony Blair who initially supported the war in Iraq, afterwards vehemently =
opposed it. Unfortunately he was carted off to Coventry so that we had no c=
hance of identifying him by name, clearly this enquiry limited as it is is =
a fine opportunity for this man to identify himself. Whether he will or not=
is another matter.

I met murder on the way-
He had a mask like Castlereagh
Very smooth he looked, yet grim;
Seven bloodhounds followed him:

All were fat; and well they might
Be in admirable plight,
For one by one, and two by two,
He tossed them human hearts to chew
Which from his wide cloak he drew.
