George Galloway has demanded that Tony Blair and his former press secretary, Alistair Campbell, should be tried for war crimes.
Galloway battled with Campbell on the BBC's Question Time about policy on Iraq. With Blair due to give evidence for the second time to the inquiry into the Iraq war, the panel were asked if they thought the invasion had been illegal.
Galloway, who announced last week that he was going to make a run for the Scottish parliament in May, had no doubts.He bellowed: "I look forward to the day when Mr Blair is not in front of establishment stooges but is in The Hague facing war crimes charges at the international court. And by the way, Alistair Campbell has the same blood on his hands and ought to be in the dock with him."
Campbell, while taking the opposite position, avoided a squabble with Galloway, saying: "I know you don't like me very much."
This source has the full version of Galloway's last sentence as:
"And by the way, his Goebbels, his Lord Haw-Haw, Alistair Campbell, has the same blood on his hands and ought to be sitting in the dock alongside him."
