Trade Unions, the Labour Movement, and the War on Iraq

I've been a member of a trade union since my first job leaving university, primarily the old Transport and General Workers' Union, then the NASUWT, and again the T&G (now Unite).
So it was galling to hear Bob Crowe of the RMT saying on Any Questions that all the main parties had supported the war in Iraq.
He was wrong!

Alone among the main parties we Lib Dems came out firmly against what we saw as an illegal, ill-judged, and ill-founded invasion.

Many of us thought the government wrong about the existence of weapons of mass destruction, but few thought that it was a cynical war about regime change.
It now seems that there were many people in the FCO who had grave concerns about the legality of the war, and not simply a few voices in the wilderness.

So we await the ever-unravelling veil of semi-truths and downright lies to expose the duplicitous face of the Blair Government of the time.
