From the master's lips:

Little did I know, when starting The Rest Is Politics with former Cabinet minister Rory Stewart, that it would become the UK’s Number 1 podcast.

Pass the sick bag!
Not one mention of Iraq.
As far as the shameful war criminal Campbell and the msm are concerned, Pinter said it best:
"It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn't happening. It didn't matter."

I don't think the fact that Campbell is in many folk's minds guilty of war crimes, should necessarily disbar him from commenting on how to debate and argue. He hasn't actually been charged of such, and is a free man, sadly. It's a very reactive way of dealing with such men and women, when you've found them guilty of some past crime or they are serious political foes, such that nothing they do or say is worth anything, and they're merely there for you to sling accusations against them whenever they appear. Very left-wing, and pretty pointless. This posting seems to have appeared merely to shoot the man down. Whatever you think of him, he may have something useful to impart, which you can chose to listen to or ignore as is appropriate for you. Why not make the effort to comment on what he's actually saying? Nor are you forced to listen to his and Rory Stewart's podcast. Most of you don't like Rory Stewart either, but he wrote a very entertaining and illuminating book, Politics on the Edge, on his political experiences which I thoroughly enjoyed.

so we can overlook the massacre of over a million Iraqis. Him and Blair have never been formally charged and convicted, remember, so technically they're as innocent as Netanyahu. It's important to retain a sense of perspective in case we allow blood-lust to run away with our emotions.

Well said ..

Very measured as an advice to liberals. It's time to ignore these concerns imo and sharpen up the pitch forks, as in the spirit. The corrupt system does not allow us to put away these criminals and deal with these problems once and for all. Grrr.

Yea....I'm avidly awaiting Netanyahu's no doubt "entertaining" autobiography to hit the press...and shame that innocent Jimmy Seville guy didn't ever top his career by becoming an author too: surely he would have us in stitches...ummm...literaly.
