Blair 'relished sending British forces to war'

[springhill]

An explosive political row erupted last night after Downing Street tried to censor a book by one of Tony Blair's most senior former aides, revealing shocking details of how the Prime Minister runs the country.

But there are further claims which Price was told to remove from the book after intervention by the Government and which we can now reveal, including:


That Blair appeared privately to "relish" sending British troops to war in Iraq as his "first blooding", while publicly claiming he did it "with a heavy heart".
That the Government promised media mogul Rupert Murdoch it would not change its policy on Europe without telling him first.
That the Prime Minister repeatedly bawled out in rage 'f****** Welsh' when an election in the principality was going against Labour.

1. Is this a reliable source, or is it like Capitol Hill Blue in the US,

where you read titillating and plausible exposés but can't take them seriously until they are confirmed?

Thanks for posting this - will be interesting to see how this plays out.
