Shooting Down Blair

Imagine if they had done it. Imagine if the Israelis had shot down the private jet carrying Tony Blair. Imagine the international outcry.

Actually, I'm not too sure there would have been an international outcry.

Imagine an aide rushing to tell Brown the news. Imagine that aid bursting into the room, interrupting the latest bollocking Brown is giving someone, probably for the Crewe and Nantwich by election result. And imagine that aide blurting out the news that Blair is dead, killed accidentally by the Israelis. And imagine Brown fixing that aide with the tired, bitter look that is now so uniquely his:

I'd imagine his response to death of his former nemesis would be simple and concise. I'd imagine he would have just given a one word response.

"So?"
