Almost instantly Katherine [...]

So all of my articles on truth have been leading up to some kind of conclusion, which was written around the same time as the Tony Blair articles about two or three weeks ago. The only problem is that there was a program on Sunday on BBC 2 which said the exact same thing as [...]

Since September 2003 (when this blog started) I have been campaigning for a change in the calendar.
