I remember asking someone on the first day of a new job, just to break the silence, as I was sat at my desk with as yet, nothing to do. I said to the guy at the desk next to me. "What's the most important job in here". He stopped what he was doing, put his pen down and turned to me with a serious and thoughtful look and said "Well, the most important job in here...is to escape a bollocking for as long as possible"!

If only Bliar really had been treated like this after he was prised out of office. Instead he gets an open door at the BBC every time he feels the need to impose his ha'penny-worth of unwelcome opinions onto the British public and is treated as if he has something interesting or useful to say. Most British people are smarter than that and view him with the same disdain that the bankers in this sketch do.

This is still not as gloriously painful to watch as "The Trial of Tony Blair", where he is in a sane universe and tried for war crimes. God! I loved every painful moment of that show!

As a Conservative, I dislike Blair as much as anyone. But, working in the 'industry' Blair is not guilty of war crimes. He was simply given intelligence that stated Iraq had WMDs. The intelligence turned out to be wrong, but he had to make a call. The collective agencies can and are wrong from time to time. Take the whole Trump/Russia thing. Of course in his case, it was higher-ups being led by their partisan balls instead of actual intelligence. It escaped them that Trump's policies were costing Russia billions in oil and gas revenue.
