No mention of ‘dodgy dossier’ in Alastair’s book

It was ludicrous how Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s spin doctor, was feted by the media and others when he arrived here to launch his new book, The Irish Diaries.

No mention of the ‘dodgy’ dossier complied by Campbell supporting the Iraq war, which consisted of falsehoods and lies. No mention of the hundreds of thousands of deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan, including hundreds of British soldiers, many from Ireland. When the BBC’s Andrew Gilligan alleged the Blair government had sexed up the 2002 dossier, pressure was put on Dr David Kelly who was revealed as Gilligan’s source. Dr Kelly sadly committed suicide.

Campbell was known as a bully boy and Blair’s Rottewiller.
