BLAIR AGENT WOULD 'TRUST BLAIR WITH MY LIFE' - KEYS' RESPONSE
Speaking at the launch of Tony Blair's election campaign in the constituency
of Sedgefield yesterday 11 April, his agent John Burton said that the Tories
are making this an election about trust and fear and 'I would trust Tony
Blair with my life'.
Reg Keys, standing as an independent against Blair in opposition to the Iraq
war, said in response:
"The families of 85 British servicemen trusted Blair with their sons' lives.
They trusted that he was acting with integrity and honesty when he sent them
to war on the basis of Iraqi WMDs.
"Their trust was misplaced; they come home in coffins, their oaths of
allegiance betrayed."
