There is something oddly comforting about knowing that we do not need to wait for the results of this inquiry. There is no need to hope that this would be what would 'cross the wires' and open the debate that is forbidden. Knowing it is an exercise in shoring up the official mythos makes it more overtly akin to those war memorials that focus on the dead thus avoiding any question of responsibility for the war itself. Waiting and hoping for the inquiry might almost have excused us from having to act... But now we know that - as ever - the fate of the history to this brutal Nonsense still rests in our hands.

I hope the tapestry includes the Downing Street parties and Professor Pantsdown's trips to his mistress.
