One would have thought that Tony Blair would not be so brazen as to link his farewell trip to Africa to the return of British Petroleum to Libya. But one would then read the morning press briefing from Number 10 today --

We also continued to re-engage at an economic level and today BP will announce that they would be going back into Libya. Re-engagement works - whether it be in Sierra Leone, Libya or Africa in general.

-- and perhaps even recall the close links between Blair and BP, and one would then realise that Tony really would be so brazen.
