How very very apt that the UK should be covered in snow today. The first flakes fell as Lord Hutton was in full swing with the report. By early evening when smug Blair was demanding full apologies (as should the families of the soldiers sacrificed for his power-lust)from all who dared to actually tell the (shock & awe!) t-t-t-truth, London was covered with a thick blanket of snow - a whitewash. Which ladies and gentlemen I believe we have all just witnessed with open mouths and wide eyes. Yep, f*** David Blaine, in years to come we'll still be asking how did Blair DO that?
- But dad, that man Tony, he was in a transparent box all the way through his illusion... how could he have done it?
-Well son, thats why they call it an illusion, they trick us into thinking it's real.
-But how, dad?
- Son you see all those 'engineers' and 'cleaners' maintaining the box? Well they're not really doing what they say they're doing. Hey, look, you see that one there?
- Who the respectable old man with the plum voice?
- Yes son, they call him Lord Hutton. His special trick is to seem independent and impartial at all times. Of course, we forget, he was a lawyer.
- Y-y-you mean he's pretending?
- That's right son. And hey, you see that guy who's moving and spinning really really quickly around the box?
- You mean that man with a scowl on his face and beady eyes?
- Yes son, they call him Alistair Campbell and his job is to relentlessly feed the media with perpetually inconclusive statements. Sometimes he even changes what words actually MEAN! He's the one that sexed up the dossier that ultimately lead to the death of Dr Kelly.
- Y-y-you mean he's like a killer?
-Ssshh son, you're not allowed to say that, we're meant to think it was all the BBC's fault.
- So the BBC sent the soldiers to the war so they could film them getting killed.
- Well apparently so son, thats what we've 'decided' today.
- Dad, its starting to snow and I can't see the man Tony any more in his transparent box.
- That's because Tony had NOTHING to do with this terrible affair son. Now like the man said keep repeating, "We are free, to do as they tell us, we are free..."
And the man Tony looked down from his transparent box at the dad and the boy as they walked away. And Tony smiled as the matter was all clear now and he'd done a good thing in helping them understand it....
> Ha, yet another bitter punter angry the report didn't say what he (it
> always is a he) wanted it so say....
Perhaps, but I thought it was fairly well written and quite amusing.
I don't quite know where you are going with the "It's always a he" mind. Always a he beacuse men are more likely to comment on the report, more likely to post on a message board, more likely to find issue with the report?
