On March 14th 2003 sometime in the afternoon I was walking down Whitehall then the wind blew the torn off top of a cigarette packet into my face. Imagine my surprise when I looked at it and found written on in a spidery hand.

Minutes of Cabinet Meeting. 13th March

PM, “George from Washington rang me and started going on about WMDs, he invited me and a few lads from the Army to go on a WMD hunting vacation to Iraq? Does anyone know what is a WMD is it like an STV?”
Jack the Lad, “Ask John he’s an expert on STVs”
John DPM, “Peniciline, works wonders, Don’t know about WMDs, must be a new strain, I have a cracking lad in my office who can find anything on the internet, I’ll have him write a report”.
Robin, “WMD are jolly bad, my ethical foreign policy says…
Interrupting, Jack the Lad, “Well we all know where your ethical pole is going to get you Robin!”
Peter G. (Legal bod) “Did George say the word vacation?”
PM, “Well his exact words I think where, “Fancy going and blowing the shit out Saddam Tony my boy, I ain’t had a war in Iraq and my Daddy had one so I want one too”
Peter, “The UNies and the frogs aren’t going to like that, I’m not sure its in the rules.”
PM, “Oh stop being a kill joy Goldie, it’ll be fun, sleep on it I’m sure you will see it in a different light in the morning.”
Claire, (Some bag lady in the corner shifting through her rubbish), “Now where did I leave that conscience of mine, it must be here somewhere, have you seen it Robin?”
Robin, “Don’t worry dear, it’s probably with mine, I am sure they will both turn up in a couple of days or so.”
PM, “So that’s agreed is it, Jolly good another war, will keep the one in Afghanistan company.”

Meeting Ends

So there you have it, the truth out in the open at last.
