Well, I think there's a distinction between sexing-up the intelligence and sexing-up the presentation of the intelligence.

Well British troops are superb in the field in terms of conflict.

What happens when there is a conflict between the Scottish parliament, if it was established, and the Westminster parliament? Who is supreme?

In housing in the fifties in Britain and the sixties, we pulled down the terraces - destroyed whole communities and replaced them with tower blocks and we built walkways that became rat-runs for muggers. That was the fashionable opinion. But it was wrong.

My job is to put words together and tell a story. If that doesn't work for you, it's not a war crime.

We have sent our troops to war without paying for it. Now, we are bringing them home without saying how we are paying for it.

The Great War proved how confused the world is. Depression is proving it again.

War's a profanity because, let's face it, you've got two opposing sides trying to settle their differences by killing as many of each other as they can.
