The man who invaded Iraq and Afghanistan on the back of the imbecilic slogan "the war on terror" criticises the imbecilic slogan "the forever wars".

I would suggest the last thing Afghanistan needs right now is Blair popping up...

There's a lot more important matters than slogans here.

Torture, murder and incomprehensible decisions for example.

MWT did the same recently with the Labour Party. Ashin Wirathu has done the same with the Rohingya Muslims. All three are prominent examples of how defensive, psychological projection works.

Yes dear MWT...

I have not spoken formally about this before but whilst in police we investigated Chris Fay’s many allegations in the early 2000’s and established their was no evidence to support his claims

But we know that MWT left the police in 2000 and became a GumShoe.

MWT, Blair, slogans and backwards logic are totally irrelevant - just as the invasion of Afghanistan was misconceived because of allegations; non-existent WMD etc.

USA's extraction from the cave abundant country was also ill-conceived and badly planned. Even satellite observation was often impossible. Never bring a knife to a gunfight!

If slogans and allegations can be used as a pretext for war, or getting innocent people locked up for years irrelevant is not the word I would use to describe them.

I never suggested allegations were irrelevant - false ones have become an industry.

The preservation of life is paramount - although the decisions of Bush, Blair and Biden haven't shown this.

Recently the UK has just followed US policy. And now we're already bemoaning the consequences.

Having to take 20/30,000 victims of our decisions - and probably significantly more eventually.

Whilst being currently unwilling to accommodate other potential (and perhaps more deserving) migrants.

That, or something on the end of your shoe.
