It's easy to be courageous after the event. Fun, too.

Looks like the higher orders have their own equivalent of the bloke who hides under the table during the pub brawl - emerging only after it's over - and then spends the rest of the evening boasting about his central role in the fighting: the politics teacher at Fettes College.

Yep, Blair's former school has staged a play which is apparently a "savage satire" on the former-PM, if what passes for "savage satire" in public school circles is rip-offs of Simpsons jokes:

Hi, I'm Tony Blair. You may know me from television spectaculars such as Princess Diana's funeral, the G8 Summit, peace in Northern Ireland and the Nato bombing of Serbia.

We're overawed with admiration here at Westmonster Towers that this courageous play was put on after Troy McClure Blair ceased being Prime Minister and thus is about as savage as poking a long-dead lion in the eye with a sharp stick.
