Carry on Tony

The Quartet of international powers has "lost its grip" on the Middle East peace process which it is meant to foster, a group of aid agencies says.

The Quartet's representative is, of course Tony Blair. It isn't surprising that it hasn't acheived anything and seems merely to be going through the motions. I can't help thinking of that devastating Harry Enfield sketch where Blair is hired by some big firm, who really don't know what to do with him and send him to the post room.
