I have an autograph from Rumsfeld in amongst my war criminal collection. It has pride of place next to Himmler.

FTFY

My collection also contains Tony Blair, so he's in good company.

Joking aside, calling Tony Blair a war criminal really pisses me off, yes the military action in Iraq was probably taken on 'dodgy' intel and did inadvertently result in the creation of IS but I honestly believe any UK Prime Minister would have taken the same course of action with the information presented at the time.

I think the issue is he knew the intel was dodgy and went ahead with it to lick bushes arse.

It’s pretty clear at this point that the U.K. government knew the intel was not sound and they made a decision to go to war based on it. That makes everyone involved in the decision making process liable for an unjustly entered into war. What, then, would you call Blair based on that information?

[Tafdolphin]

A politician.

Also a war criminal. Obvs

[Tineash]

Yeah, the crucial aspect to remember is that the decision came first, and the 'intel' followed - on both sides of the atlantic.

Intel? It was barely WinChip quality.

Like Loki said (not the dog), no one is entirely good and no one entirely bad. So he's the last Labour leader to win an election and also a war criminal. People can wear many hats.

Like Loki said (not the dog), no one is entirely good and no one entirely bad. So Hitler's the last National Socialist leader to win an election and also a war criminal. People can wear many hats.

Hmm.

[Rex Kramer]

You forgot the bit about getting the trains running on time. Or was that Mussolini? Oh well, tomayto tomato.

I’m still angry about the introduction of tuition fees under his watch as well.

Sky News:

Chris Eubank's son, Sebastian Eubank, has died, his father has said in a statement.

The 29-year-old boxer - the third oldest of Eubank's children - was reportedly found dead in Dubai, where he lived.

Eubank senior paid tribute to his son, saying he was a "deep thinker who liked to challenge and accepted wisdom".

He said in a statement: "Never did I ever imagine I would write these words or experience the feeling I now have at the loss of my son. My family and I are devastated to hear of the death of Sebastian just days before what would have been his 30th birthday.

“He leaves his wife Salma, his son Raheem born just a month ago, his mother Karron Meadows, brothers Nathanael, Chris, Jr, Joseph, one sister Emily and countless relatives and friends.

Sebastian grew up in Hove in England but in the last few years made his life in Dubai where he had a wide circle of friends and was a leader in the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and of alternative therapies.

"As well as being a personal trainer and professional boxer, Sebastian was also a deep thinker who liked to challenge accepted wisdom. He was loved and respected by all who knew him and will be forever in the thoughts of friends and family.

"As a family we now kindly ask to be given space and privacy to celebrate his life and remember the son, the brother, the husband, the friend."

Sebastian's mother, Karron Meadows, added: "Our whole family is grieving at the huge loss of our son and brother, Sebastian. Please respect our grief and privacy while we try to comprehend our loss."

So young. Daily Mail reporting that he drowned.

[Albert]

Oh that's awful. I'm trying to work out if that's the Son boxer I've watched on TV, or a another son of Eubank. How tragic

[Dual]

Is he the one on Gogglebox?

EDIT no it's not

[PatSharpsMullet]

I think he's the one my cousin pushed over in a sandpit at the park when they were both about 4 or 5. It was one of Eubanks sons but I'm not sure which, but it was either him or Chris Jr.

TV presenter Jono Coleman, aged 65. He always seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

[Vermilion]

Sad to hear, 65 is way too young to go
