How Sez Sees It

In 2003 then PM, Tony Blair, went on Newsnight in the UK to say that the invasion of Iraq was not about oil and that thought was absurd. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/secret-memos-expose-link-between-oil-firms-and-invasion-of-iraq-2269610.html  This tells all.

Our fears should not be more important than the respect we have for these men.  Let us remember them more in the press and worry less for ourselves.  They are keeping us safe.

Radio 4 - had an announcement on the Today Programme of 3D radio.  You would be able to hear it in one ear, then the other and then all around you (and it
