Winner of Melchett Award announced!

This Might be Satire is pleased to announce the new winner of our just made up a minute ago monthly award:

"The General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face whilst keeping a sunny disposition award" goes to...

Prime Minister Tony Blair!

This award showcases his continued naivety -calling for a ceasefire when he knows full well they won't be one- and his simplistic optimism in his recent answers with regard to the Israeli/Lebanon conflict. Below are some of his recent utterings that won him the day.

"We have to speed this entire process up, get a resolution now, and on the passing an agreement of that resolution, then the hostilities have got to stop, and stop on all sides."

And that:

"There is no basis for hostilities to continue" whilst describing the recent bombing of Qana as an "absolutely tragic situation".

Also, that the death of 54 civilians, mostly children, at Qana had,
"changed things".

For these gems and more, we are pleased to award PM Blair this award.
Well done Prime Minster!
