St.Tony's travels*

Blairgacy - the farewell tour continues with the soon-to-be-ex-Prime Minister stopping off in Sierra Leone where he was named Shebora Matof or "Prince of Peace", apparently without a sense of irony. At the same time Gordon Brown has been named Shebora Matof in waiting.

In defence of the Sierra Leonians (sic?) the British Prime Minister's intervention in the country's long running civil war did provide a lesson in how the power of the West can be used for good. It is perhaps not coincidental however that the United States did not take part in any of the military action in the West African country.

*Note: not to be confused with St. Tony's travails - see also Iraq, BAE Systems and Lolly for Lordships.
