He's off again. Tony declares his ambition "I want to awaken world's conscience". Some might argue that he did indeed achieve that by ignighting anti-war protests all over the world. But the - no sniggering please - Tony Blair Faith Foundation is all systems go. The  hubris of this man is beyond belief and his timing is shameful.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the killing of Dr Martin Luther King jr, one of the finest men to walk the face of the Earth and one who used his deeply held religious belief and inspiration to reach out to the poor, the disposessed, the excluded and those discriminated against.
