THE complete farce regarding the Chilcot Inquiry into the British invasion of Iraq under the falsehood of having weapons of mass destruction drags on and on at the expense of the public purse to the tune of ten million pounds. It has now lasted six years.

I was glad to see that the grieving relatives are going to play Sir John Chilcot, paid by taxpayers £790 a day, at his own game by taking legal action against the lack of a date of conclusion.

It is a financial and moral disgrace, and the people running this country should bury their heads in everlasting shame.

The 179 families who lost sons and daughters deserve better.

I can think of no greater crime in the history of humanity, or in the sight of God, than a Prime Minister sending the finest of our Defenders of the Realm, our sons and daughters, to face horrendous deaths in the prime of life, on a false premise, for personal and financial gain.

No matter your political affiliations, I think in retrospect, most us now realise the creature Blair’s true character.

I am 10 years older than Tony Blair. He will soon find out how quickly those ten years will pass.

He will not escape his day of reckoning for the carnage in Iraq, past and present, to mention one of the many issues for which he is responsible.

Hopefully in this life behind prison bars.

If not, he has no chance in the next existence of eluding the wrath of his maker. Nor the tormented souls that surely await him.

None of us look forward to the inevitable that comes to all creatures on the planet Earth.

I for one have not led a perfect, exemplary life, how many of us have? But I wouldn’t like to swap places with him, as the time nears.

Sooner or later it comes to us all, and no one knows when.

You will not hide behind your wealth and powerful friends when that day comes, Anthony Charles Lynton Blair.
