“3 AUGUST 2006: That cabinet minister who passed Blair a note during the session when they were discussing the Middle East, last week? Blair was explaining why he wasn’t calling for an immediate ceasefire. The note reportedly said, “Don’t take my silence for consent.†What delicacy! What restraint! What sheer, shivering gutlessness!
And then imagine the minister reporting it back to journalists. And then having boasted (he or she thought the story was to his or her credit) presumably adding the words: “But that’s off the record. Don’t quote me. By name. You won’t quote me by name, will you?’“
