Return of the Undead

Former Conservative Prime Minister John Major re-appeared over the weekend on our TV sets. He was trying to help Tony Blair he said. It would be much better for the Prime Minister is he were to publish the legal advice on why the war on Iraq war legitimate. I fear that it is buried somewhere in the filing cabinets of No. 10 written on the back of a napkin. Such a nice man that John Major. I really don't know how he managed to keep his face straight. He is really enjoying Blair's agony.

John Major presided over the worst Conservative election defeat since 1831. Faced with similar humiliation most of us would have opted for plastic surgery, a fake passport and a new life in Paraguay. But Major is giving Blair helpful advice and getting fat fees for TV appearances and lecture tours. All this from the man who brought us railway privatisation.

Mind you you have to admire his chuttzpah, and his sense of deadpan humour.
