Sickening, unchallenged bullshit.

The piece of scum, arch war criminal Campbell, lying about the lies he told.
He got away with his successful efforts to facilitate the supreme war crime of aggression, and all the subsequent crimes against humanity. The very crimes that got the Nazis swinging after the Nuremberg Trials.
Instead, Campbell gets invited to speak at festivals, lie over and over on national tv and whinge about his depression.
Another one of our homegrown terrorists.

Alastair Campbell insists he and Tony Blair didn’t lie over Iraq: ‘It turned out to be untrue’

Alastair Campbell has insisted he and Tony Blair did not lie over the government’s decision to invade Iraq but that the reason behind the decision turned out to be “untrue”.

The former No 10 spin doctor made the comments during a talk at The Hay Festival in Wales, which The Independent has partnered with.

“I got called a liar a lot; Tony Blair got called a liar a lot over Iraq,” he said. “I know that we didn’t lie. We made a decision based upon a premise that turned out to be untrue. It’s not the same as a lie.”

He added: “Lying is when you are expressing something you know to be untrue. So Putin knows he invaded Ukraine. He knows it’s not a special military operation because he’s trying to wipe out another country.”

Mr Campbell was Downing Street’s director of communications and strategy while Mr Blair was in office and became one of the Labour prime minister’s most trusted aides.

He and Mr Blair have faced fierce criticism since the UK’s invasion of Iraq, particularly over the dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, which was used to justify the invasion.

The claims in the dossiers were later called into question when no WMDs were found.

Mr Campbell stood down amid the fallout, but in 2016, the Chilcot Inquiry cleared him of the much-repeated accusation that he “sexed up” the dossier. He has since said he “wished Iraq never happened”.

He is now the co-host of the award-winning podcast The Rest Is Politics, where he and ex-Tory MP Rory Stewart discuss UK news and politics, and he has also written 21 books, including some about mental health....
