Replying to @mcashmanCBE @Baroness_Nichol
What a disgraceful way to respond to an offer of discussion, and how indicative of your disrespect for women as a political class.

Emma Nicholson should have gone on trial at the Hague for peddling lies to the British public to sell a war that killed hundreds of thousands The fact that she walks free is in and of itself more respect by far than she deserves

Wait, the Bush-led US administration sold that war to a Labour govt., with Blair as PM then, and somehow that's morphed to being the responsibility of Baroness Nicholson (an MEP at the time)? Wow.

Nicholson repeatedly testified in favor of intervention, and in fact had been a strident advocate for invading Iraq for *years* up to that point, starting in the 1990s, on "human rights" grounds (pushing the "Marsh Arab genocide" narrative) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2807821.stm …

Did you read that article, I wonder. Yes, it was part of her Human Rights brief in the European Parliament HR sub-cttee, as I recall. Strangely, Iranian people are entitled to human rights too. I followed all this closely at the time (even marching against the war). No-one ever

doubted Hussein's regime was abusive but it didn't have WMD or allied with Al-Qaeda. *BUT* UK joined the war based on US lies, so don't try to re-write history in such a risible fashion.

And I see we are once again progressing from "Stop bringing up Baroness Nicholson and the war, it's irrelevant" to "This great soul, Baroness Nicholson, has convinced me that the war was good"

Hey so do you understand that the reason Nicholson doesn't talk about this article much anymore is that her description of Iraq as a booming, prosperous democracy in 2013 did not age well Do you remember what was going on in 2013 and what that led to in 2014
