Total bollocks the opposition leadership had representatives on the Privy Council including the leader of the opposition, they recieved exactly the same information that the government did from the intelligence services, isn't that something that was thrown at corbyn when he questioned Russian poison attacks in this country. There was lots of support by the public in this country after the shocking terrorist attack on the twin towers, much information that was given to the Uk government on WMD was provided by USA intelligence services.
My answer is not defending what happened just giving a different perspective to the anti Labour rhetoric that eminates from that event, Blair might have shown culpability but to blame him alone is far from the true overall picture, as someone on here claimed.
Before anyone says I am defending what happened I opposed any suggestion of an invasion from the start and our local labour branch sent a motion to the CLP registering our opposition, one that Wigan CLP to their credit adopted and further registered our objection to head office.
