Tony Blair can still pull a crowd, only this time they were baying with raw anger - Times Online



Tony Blair can still pull a crowd, only this time they were baying with raw anger - Times Online

Nearly 13 years ago I stood on the streets of Whitehall among a loud and boisterous crowd exclusively — obsessively — focused on one man.

Yesterday, on the same streets outside the Chilcot inquiry, another crowd was gathered, with the same focus, the same barriers, the same heavy police presence and even, I suspect, some of the same faces.

Once again helicopters chattered overhead. But instead of cheering the election of Tony Blair, this crowd was baying for his blood.
