LYING about reasons for wars has wasted far more government time, money for troops and resources that could have been spent elsewhere.

Conservative MPs have in the past wasted government, talking' legislation out of time that has had public backing i.e. to ban fox hunting.

I suggest Councillor David Pearson concentrates on his constituents rather than trying muddy to muddy the waters of Westminster.
