One of the things which has always puzzled me about much of the anger directed at Blair over Iraq is that there appears to be a sense of surprise or betrayal about his actions....And looking at comments the main reason people signed is Iraq.
Its all very well to tell people they have poor political analysis but Blair is recent history. This is someone who those whose actions directly affected this country. I don't think those who signed can be dismissed as just venting...
It's almost personalised in a way which suggests that people either don't recognise that any Prime Minister who had been in charge at the time would have behaved the same, or they thought before Iraq that Blair was somehow "on our side", and we could genuinely have expected different from him.
And this latest development really doesn't demonstrate anything new, it just gives people the opportunity to go through the same stuff all over again.
