You've heard it countlessly replayed: "They are trying to use the
slaughter of innocent people to cow us, to frighten us out of doing the
things that we want to do ... They should not and they must not
succeed!" Yet after living 12 years in Belfast, I couldn't help but
listen to Tony Blair's clarion defiance after London's transport
bombings with a sour squint.
Your prime minister's record on standing firm in the face of terrorism
is pretty crap. I realise that the entire mainland is sick to death of
Northern Ireland, but Blair has used your boredom to put a napkin over
a basket of moral compromises whose sum total is one nauseous picnic.
You know, the kind with mayonnaise left out in the sun.
