This is from around 2010 — a few years after Blair's PMship but during that period when he was accused of committing war crimes relating to the conflict in Iraq.
It was designed by David Gentleman as a protest placard and demonstrates the power of a brilliant idea simply executed.
I hadn't seen it before our visit to the Design Museum this week. We were over in London for, amongst other things, a family outing to see Blur at Wembley.
The two things are not unrelated. Blair and Blur are both cultural icons of a period that means a lot to Karen and I. They were good times in which we got together, got married and had our boys.
Blair was the last PM I liked, shame he was wrapped up in a horrendous scandal of misinformation that caused countless unnecessary deaths.
