Neil Mackay: Blair's Iraq war lies sowed the seeds of Brexit




Before the Iraq war, it was common to discuss apathy by the British public when it came to politics. People were bored, uninspired. After Iraq, apathy turned to disgust. The invasion was based on phoney claims cooked up by the Blair government, trailing after the Bush government. Saddam was meant to have weapons of mass destruction, and in the aftermath of September 11, he had to be removed. But there were no WMDs. It was all lies. Intelligence agencies on both sides of the Atlantic were pressured into massaging facts to build a case which could be sold to the public. The word could became would, perhaps and maybe became definitely.
