Ever felt embarrassed to be British ? No, then watch this.

Having Galloway, a well known Blair hater, is potentially off putting for many people but actually he does a pretty good job. It is a fairly low budget documentary but I actually quite enjoyed the cartoons and the news reels. There is an impressive array of well known, articulate and I would say mainly non-biased politicians, journalists and commentators, lining up to provide very unflattering views and examples of Blair's odious activities in and following his prime minister-ship. Suffice to say I don't think his wife and one of her sisters will ever speak again. Some things were skirted over, such as his role in David Kelly's death and the 'sexing up' of the 'dodgy dossier'', for which Blair and Campbell as a minimum should have been imprisoned for, but I guess that could have been a documentary all on its own. Ultimately, whatever your view is on Blair and the Iraq war, most sane British people that see this must think how can it be right for a recently serving prime minister to so quickly move into a role which is netting him tens of millions of pounds a year working for renowned despots and dictators. Watch the film and make your own mind up. I was not a fan, and after watching this, I have lost even more faith in society, politicians and the rule of law in this country. Watch this and feel embarrassed to be British.
