I’m beginning to like this guy

Rus­sell Brand head-to-head with some of the more nefar­i­ous amongst us:

I demand Jack Straw pays the 7bn pounds he squandered on the Iraq war that we didn’t want. No won­der his son has to toke him­self to sleep.

So what came before September 11?

Accord­ing to Jack Straw, in response to George Galloway’s quite reas­on­able point that the cow­ardly attacks on Afgh­anistan and Iraq increased the threat of ter­ror­ist attack in Bri­tain, “People have to remem­ber that 11 Septem­ber was in 2001 before the mil­it­ary action.” This cheap little chunk of self-deluded spin is an attempt to weave the story that the Septem­ber 11 attacks came out of the blue.
