Iraq inquiry: seats ballot for Blair - Channel 4 News

Haw: why I won't ballot to see Blair
Brian Haw is Britain's most indefatigable anti-war campaigner. For eight and a half years he has lived in a tent in Parliament Square.

Soon the man who responsible for taking the country to war will appear in front of the Iraq Inquiry. But Haw is not interested in seeing Tony Blair.

"I think ad nauseum the world and the country has seen enough of Blair. The problem is he speaks to a certain script. He won't be asked anything he feels too uncomfortable with. It's a joke. I want to ask him questions, real questions."

Mr Haw, 60, is a divorced father of seven who has been camped outside Westminster since June 2002. He remains unmoved the former prime minister will soon be questioned about the war just across the road from his protest.

"The Inquiry is a farce, it is an exercise for the British establishment's ego" he says. "He should be at the Hague."



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
