Not that it will make you happy - I was boiling with rage at some points - but it something that responsible citizens should watch, even if they don't agree with it. Maybe, like An Inconvenient Truth it should be sent to schools on DVDs for use in citizenship classes.
Particularly affronting were the juztapositioning of various of Blairs pronouncements (how much he likes to hear protesters as its part of a free society, how he opposed right wing tory plans for ID cards and would rather hire more police etc. etc.) with his actual actions in office. The bastard should be tried for false advertising along with war crimes.
As a result of watching the film I'm thinking of joining Amnesty. I'm in Liberty and No2ID already, so I might as well collect the set. Either that or emigrating.
