Leave Clare Short alone?
Why!?!
Given the sickening militarism of the Blair government, coupled with their Thatcherite project of privatising public services, Clare Short would have resigned from the government long ago if she'd been worth a single thing.
As it is, she has repeatecly demonstrated her willingness to trade a position of power for any principles i once believed she possessed. Clare Short is a perfect demonstration that proximity to power will corrupt just about any human being, however decent they believed they were. To sit at the King's table, when you know perfectly well that he's destroying the lives of his subjects makes you complicit - however much you claim to be on the side of the 'subjects'.
