Things that get up my nose or on my wick are what I am going to be writing about. The latest thing that has really raised my levels of displeasure is the news that Tony Blair is 'apologising' for the Slave Trade. Now clearly this was something that should never have been carried out and indeed was quite shameful. It is not the fact that it requires apology that displeases me. It is the fact that Tony is always in a great hurry to apologise for things that were never in his control and for which he could not possibly be responsible. How about an apology for some of the reprehensible things for which he has been responsible? Like invading Iraq? Like spending billions of taxpayer money on the NHS and achieving nothing except the enrichment of external advisors. Like, oh well the list goes on and we all know he won't apologise because he has never made a mistake. The things he wants to apologise for are mistakes made by others.
