Electric Picnic

Is Tony Blair heading for a debate at the Picnic?

IT’S HEAVILY RUMOURED that Tony Blair – fresh from escaping a hail of flying eggs at his book signing in Dublin earlier today – may be on his way to Electric Picnic to engage in a debate with former Labour MP George Galloway over his role in the War of Iraq. Galloway is taking part in a debate on whether there can ever been peace in the Middle East at 7pm, and Blair is rumoured to be planning on attending. He could, of course, opt not to get rained on instead.
