On 28 June 2008, The Daily Express reported thus:

Don't forget Tony Blair, Tam, the Big Daddy of all "young, arrogant, inexperienced, bumptious ministers" who "people don’t care for very much".

Tam Dalyell, who was the Father of the House of Commons until he retired in 2005, has a habit of telling the truths the establishment didn't want told.

On 18 March 2003, the day of the great debate in parliament, I sent a couple of e-mails to Glenda Jackson and George Galloway, two of the most anti-war MPs, which contained information that I thought might undermine the shiny-eyed zealot and those that were spoiling for a fight.

I also tried to pass this stuff on to Mr Dalyell, to my mind the most honourable man in parliament, but, unfortunately, he had no e-mail facility.

However, I got a surprise that night. The phone rang. It was Tam Dalyell.
As a consequence of our little chat, I promised to post a written copy of the information that I had at my disposal to his home address. I asked Mr. Dalyell a simple question before I hung up and he gave me a simple answer.

My question was:

He replied:

Whenever Halabja was mentioned by the British and American warmongers, they always categorically pronounced that the number of people killed was 5,000.

I knew this to be a lie and Mr. Dalyell confirmed it for me during our brief conversation.

I sent him a much larger document than the one I had sent to Glenda Jackson and George Galloway. In total, I provided him with 80 foolscap pages of damning information. This was forwarded to him about ten days after he phoned me. However, I never heard from him again and the information that I sent to Galloway and Jackson was not used in that final debate on Iraq.

I e-mailed the same information to a good many journalists, specifically, to those whose newspapers seemed to be making an effort to stop the war in Iraq before it began.

None ever replied.

Interestingly, however, a few months later, Tam Dalyell suggested that several members of Chairman Blair’s entourage were a part of a "Jewish Cabal", intent on stoking up the fires of war.

He first made these opinions known in the US magazine, Vanity Fair.
He echoed his accusations on Radio 4's World at One programme, saying that the government of the US was:

He went on to describe some of the "neoconservatives" who comprise the enormously influential advisory body, JINSA:

Mr. Dalyell also said that he had:

Actually, though the fathers of both Mandelson and Straw were Jews, their mothers were not, and so, technically speaking, they are not Jewish. However, the way they act and the company they keep adequately demonstrates where their sympathies truly lie.

So, I guess it is possible that Tam Dalyell didn’t just chuck my 80-page "dossier" into the bin when he discovered its "anti-Semitic" thrust.

The document that I emailed to Jackson and Galloway may be found here:

I Am An Englishman

The 80-page "dossier", that I sent to Tam Dalyell, in all its scruffy, unaltered entirety, may be found here:

I Am An Englishman

Here are some of the things that Mr Dalyell had to say about his own leader:

On 7 June 2002, 10 months before Gulf War II began, The Telegraph reported thus:


On 27 March 2003, The Guardian featured an interview with Tam Dalyell, in which he said:

On 18 January 2004, The Sunday Telegraph told us this:

Suffice it to say, when the time comes for the traitors to be boiled, there is one politician who will be allowed to stir the pot as opposed to occupying it.
