I had never heard of Katherine Gun until I watched the movie Official Secrets on Netflix last week. Perhaps the fact that she is my age made her story resonate more. It all happened in 2003. You’ll recall that, at the time, in Malta we were fighting the EU referendum battle (because a certain Joseph Muscat would have none of it) but, over in the US and the UK, George Bush and Tony Blair were beating the drums of war. They needed any excuse to invade and topple Saddam Hussein in Iraq – and would stop at nothing. Remember how we were all made to believe that Iraq was stashing weapons of mass destruction and how Saddam and al-Qaeda were one and the same? Remember how we all rushed to the supermarkets and emptied the toilet paper shelves because we thought that Saddam would strike back and there’d be World War III?
