Revenge of the Robots

War broke out yesterday. Or more accurrately the USA, UK and Australia invaded a country that they had been forcing to disarm for the last 12 years. Very brave.

Bush went on TV. Usual stuff. Very wierd. Narrow lips. Glazed slitty eyes. Cod Churchillian speech. How could it get any worse? It did. When I got back from the pub with my elder brother Dave we wateched Blair's "Address to the Nation". Truly horrific. In the first few seconds he envoked God and the Flag. The last refuge of the scoundrel. He knew that we were all "sending our prayers.." to the British Forces. Tough if you are an aetheist or Muslim. He is still not getting it. We wish the troops well as individuals and our hearts go out to their families at home. It is just that we don't think we should be there at all.

Blair also looked a bit deranged. Hair greying at the temples. Eyes wild and, according to my sister in law Sue, he is now dying his hair brown on top. Next day I rang my wife Heather (I am away on business) to ask if she had seen the awful display of realpolitik and sanctimonious deceipt. She hadn't. Sensibly she had been watching a new episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She has her priorities right. It's the last season and the script is more credible that a UK Government communique. She then made a suggestion to explain Blair's behaviour.

" Perhaps the White House have replaced him by a flesh eating robot."

That's it!!! The real Tony is bound and gagged in a basement hundreds of feet below the Pentagon.

It's Emily's birthday tomorrow. She is 6. I wonder if she will remember any of this in the way that I have the vaguest recollection of the Cuban Missile Crisis? I wonder how many beautiful 6 year old girls just like Emily in Iraq will die because of this awful war?
