I'm not shaking your hand; you've got blood on it. I understand soldiers go to war and die but they have to go to war for a good reason and be properly equipped to fight.
I believe Tony Blair is a war criminal. I can't bear to be in the same room as him. I can't believe he's been allowed to come to this reception. It comes back to me every day, every time I see a coffin come off a plane; it reminds me of what happened to Shaun (his son).
