Always good to see Kirk.

Really strongly held views one way or another shouldn't always sacrifice the times of any certain agreement.

don't lie. everyone knows about the dodgy dossier new labour invented as an excuse to bomb Iraq and invade the middle east....everyone...its the biggets lie in british history and lead to the deaths of over 1 million innocent Iraqis
educate yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Dossier

you were angry about a small tory lie....well how about this mother fo all lies from your new labour party of warmongers?

"Iraq – Its Infrastructure of Concealment, Deception and Intimidation[1] (more commonly known as the Dodgy Dossier, the Iraq Dossier or the February Dossier) [2]) was a 2003 briefing document for the British Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labour Party government. It was issued to journalists on 3 February 2003 by Alastair Campbell, Blair's Director of Communications and Strategy, and concerned Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. Together with the earlier September dossier, these documents were ultimately used by the government to justify its involvement in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

No one would argue that the Iraq dossier wasn't a massive lie... However... if you believe that the UK wasn't going to war in Iraq no matter what then I think you underestimate the political forces that we surrounded that conflict. Labour, Tory, doesn't matter which party was in power... Iraq was happening and they would have found ways to justify it.

It would indeed TS,it is incredible that anyone could even not think that way.
All strong and true points.

(Oops.before I end that bit,I would have been against the Iraq invasion by any govt. anyway,just in case I get,I am just a new Labourite supporting Tony Blair).

What Iraq has to do with a thread about HS2,is beyond me however.

All parties agreed with that war and as said it was going to happen whoever was in power.
Maybe now we can get back on topic.
