Exclusive: Tatchell Supports Righteous Assassination in extremis But Redemption for Saddam


18 DOUGHTY STREET: Asked when and where he'd like to be in history in some past interview Tatchell said "January 1933 in the garden of Ribbentrop's Berlin house ready to assassinate Adolf Hitler". But Mugabe he thinks should be assassinated by a black Zimbabwean and not by his good self. Iain Dale tries to extend that to support for the war on Iraq. But Tatchell wouldn't play. Will be interesting to see how Iain blogs this later. The interview is continuing. And will be archived HERE.

.. Tatchell has just claimed he had the opportunity on interrupting a motorcade - in an anti-war protest - to assassinate Blair! He says he spotted the fatal flaw in the armour plating of the limo. But as he believes in non-violence and didn't have his Uzi on him Teflon Tone was safe ...

WHY WAS IT TATCHELL?: Missed the start of the programme and didn't see why Mike Read was off. Just checked the ID and he pulled out at 3pm. The Tatchell interview was off the peg though this was not clear from the screening.

I was disappointed that Peter Tatchell, who claims to be a supporter of human rights, stated that he would like to see and support the psychological torture of prisoners which is a breach of human rights.

Tatchell is quite a wild card overall. He now identifies with the Green Party which is a cop out and a refuge for wild cards. You get environmental medievalism plus ... goodness knows what. Let 10,000 flowers bloom ... or however many members they may have.
