Never Drink With Iraqi Trade Unionists

[RogueTrooper]

Nick Cohen posting in one of the Guardian's many blogs

The column took a bad turn yesterday when the columnist took a party of Iraqi trade unionists to lunch. They didn't take much notice of traditional prohibitions against alcohol. About four hours later -- or was it five? My memory is not what it should be -- I found myself wandering to the bus stop and speaking in tongues.

The Iraqis were very keen that I write about the East End as they loathe the way Galloway sucked up to Saddam. They've agreed to campaign for Oona King. So we have the tantalising prospect of Iraqi socialists supporting a Blair babe and telling Muslim voters that they won't be doing Iraq any favours if they back Galloway.
