After admitting yesterday that he had "no recollection" of the rendition of Abdel Hakim Belhaj to Libya during in his time in office, today declared himself "stunned" as someone sat him down and told him about all the things he did in office.
A spokesman for Blair's foundation told this website that Blair was "rocking himself and crying like a baby" when he was told that he'd helped launch two intractable wars with little to no legal or moral basis and that British territories in the Indian Ocean were used as stop-off points as people were snatched illegally and transported around the world for torture. "He kept pleading with me that it wasn't true", said the spokesman, "reckoning that it couldn't possibly be true that he'd done that if they'd ended up making him a peace envoy".
"He remembered stuff about minimum wages and that soundbite in Northern Ireland about 'the hand of history'", Blair's spokesman continued, "but really didn't recall being majorly responsible for riding roughshod over international law with the outcome of such a huge loss of life". Blair was then informed of the massive tent he authorised for the turn of the year 2000 and the swath of disastrous PFI deals that were kept off the government balance sheet. "He just broke down again, weeping 'I don't remember' over and over".
"I daren't tell him about his cosy relationship with News International and what's gone on there lately", the spokesman concluded.
