Ugly Rumours was the name of a rock band founded in part by the current UK prime minister Tony Blair, while studying law at St John's College, Oxford during the early 1970s; he sang and played guitar. The band's name came from the cover of the Grateful Dead's album From the Mars Hotel.
Other members of the were Mark Ellen, who later went on to present BBC TV's Old Grey Whistle Test music show and become the founding editor of British music magazine Q and Adam Sharples, currently Director General, Work, Welfare and Equality Group at the Department for Work and Pensions
On January 19, 2006, Channel 4 broadcast a docudrama entitled Tony Blair: Rock Star, which stated that the band's first gig was at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, during which the drum kit fell apart, and that the band played a total of six gigs before disbanding. It was also mentioned that Blair passed his audition for the band primarily because he was the only auditionee who knew all the words to the song he was asked to sing, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, whom he imitated during his performances.
Stop the War, the coalition that organised the march of close to two million people in London just before the war has brought together a band including a front man supposed to be Tony Blair and is releasing a download only single for 1st week of January 2007 to try to get a chart topper with Edwin Starr's classic song War

Hmmmm no in fact hamster is a bit strange but he's dead right. Hearst and his cronies did embellish the truth and did promote the war. Evidence has since come out the USS Maine itself was scuttled by the US as a prestext of aggression. The same thing happened at the Gulf of Tonkin. Hamsters got you on that one at least lol he's crazy alright!
America did declare war and you also need to read some history books do you know what happened to slaves in British occupied America? They were freed. And America demanded money for them
The British were also in the Slavery traded for many years just like other countries during that time. While many civilized countries stop slavery, many countries in the world keep slaves. The United States did not start Slavery but like other countries it helps try to stop slavery.
