For me, the news here is not the article itself, but that it is being pitched as news in the first place. Not to put too fine a point on it, what Blair did in the Seventies with his hand is not nearly as objectionable or as controversial as what he's doing now with the UK's army.

The mysterious affair of Tony Blair and the picture he would rather forget began to unravel today when it emerged that it was digitally enhanced to spare the Prime Minister's blushes.

The photograph of Mr Blair making a regrettable hand gesture was taken when he was a student at Oxford University in the mid-Seventies.
