In an interview with the “hard hitting political commentator” Fern Britton Tony Blair has finally admitted that WMDs were simply a flimsy excuse to deceive a nation into going to war and he would have sought regime change anyway.

In an interview timed to try and defuse the mounting attacks on Blair’s WMD lies coming from the Chilcot Inquiry the confused looking former PM rambled at length about his faith and why he decided it was fine to invade and occupy a sovereign state that posed no threat to Britain.

Bliar said his work in the Middle East made him think “I can’t really think we’d be better with him [Saddam] and his two sons still in charge”.

Of course the families of the hundred odd thousand civilians who have died since Blair’s illegal war started would possibly disagree.
