Clare Short threatened to resign from the Government today if Blair went ahead with bombing Iraq without UN authority or any plan to re-construct the country after they had blown it to bits [ last bit is my words]. Good on her. She sounded like the whole thing was tearing her apart. She would be better off out of it.

It's a relief that there are some good people left in politics. I get so used to second guessing the intentions of anyone in power that it is uplifting to hear someone telling it from the heart. The Government will have a go at her tomorrow in some kind of obscene whispering campaign to the press. Emotional, pressure of work, not up to the job etc. but I still think that most people would like to have politicians who are demonstrably human. Blair's moral absoutism is a bit scary.

There's something happening out there. The loyal animals are starting to rebel down on the farm.
