John Reid
After his conference speech it appears John Reid has become the new favourite of the Stop Brown brigade. This will be a particularly strange candidate for the Euston Group. Reid as Labour Defence spokesman had a very bad Bosnian war, was mates with Radovan Karadzic, and muttered away about the Serbs 'genuine grievances' and his concern over the 'Islamic influences' on the Bosnian side* (the one perhaps constant here). In his desire for intervention he made Douglas Hurd & Malcom Rifkind seem like General MacArthur's gung-ho cousins.* Source: Ed Vulliamy, The Guardian, July 15th, 1995
