SO THERE we have it, arch war criminal Tony Blair saved the world again. Who knew?

Giving evidence to the House of Commons foreign affairs committee yesterday, Blair said he believed his decision to engage with Libyan dictator Muammar Gadaffi in 2004 remained “important” in the present day as it had prevented Islamic State (Isis) from getting hold of chemical weapons.

Eh?As part of the process, he said, Gaddafi renounced weapons of mass destruction, bringing to a halt programmes to develop nuclear and chemical weapons.
