    Immediately after the UK anti-war protests, I remember seeing how shaky Tony Blair was in a sabre-rattling speech (The same day or a day after), knowing that 1million people had hit the streets to disagree with what he was saying.

    So they are acknowledged by politicians.

    Policy on the looming war did not change, due to back-scratching alliances between the countries involved. The USA was shouting ‘jump’. The result, Allies: ‘how high’.

      Good thing that just like the USA that they replaced Blair with someone who just had the balls to be an absolute piece of shit with zero remorse. Donald Trump and Boris Johnson make Blair and Bush look like fucking brilliant men of great integrity, which they are assuredly not.
