Human Rights, Human Wrongs
2007-01-21 23:10:18
There is an article at The Daily Mail which gives details of a catalogue of events concerning Cherie Booth (Tony Blair’s wife) during her time at 10 Downing Street. It begins:
Cherie Blair shocked Britain’s most senior civil servant by claiming she was entitled to cut-price designer clothes worth thousands of pounds - because she was protected by European human rights laws.
She lashed out when the Cabinet Secretary challenged her for accepting the clothes, telling him: “You are infringing my rights under the European Convention on Human Rights
.”
The rest of it sounds like a dream scenario for Imelda Marcos or Elena CeauÅŸescu, where they behave like spoilt children and have everything they want by threatening to throw a tantrum if they don’t get it.
It is actually so repugnant, so grotesque in its depiction of the absolutely unbridled ‘chaviness’ of this, Britain’s First Lady, that it would totally beggar belief if it had just suddenly

Blair May Go In Police Probe
2007-01-21 09:57:50
It is a sight to behold when politicians are put on the hop. Yesterday, when Blair
allies had been quick to try to ridicule the police and their methods of arresting Ruth Turner at 6:30 on Friday morning on suspicion of perverting the course of justice, the police answered back and said that, remarkably enough and contrary to widespread belief, politicians were not above the law and the police would conduct their enquiry how they chose and without interference from gobby MPs.
Mrs Thatcher loved the media when they made her look good, hated them when they showed her up in public. Remember the sexing up of the dodgy Iraq dossier? The government forced the resignation of senior BBC staff because they claimed the news had been concocted, but, hey presto, it turns out that the BBC go it right and it was the government which had been lying all along. Now we have Tony Blair’s chums trying to intimidate the police, but this time it looks like they have come unstuck and are having to

Dodgy Peerages Police Unintimidated
2007-01-21 01:55:45
There has been an effort by politicians (some of them friends of Tony Blair) to deflect some of the attention away from the arrest at 6:30am on Friday on suspicion of perverting the course of justice of Tony Blair’s so-called “gatekeeper” Ruth Turner. The general thrust of the comments has been that whereas ordinary Toms, Dicks and Harrys of the general population can have their doors smashed in by police at any time, when the suspect is a politician, they should be treated differently and perhaps just be telephoned and asked if they would mind popping in to their local police station when they feel like it for a little chat over tea and biscuits, because we all know that politicians are people with special needs.
The usual suspects in this case have been Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell, former Home Secretary David Blunkett and Labour peer Lord Puttnam, who have all called the police tactics “theatrical” with Lord Puttnam adding to the tone of the debate b

Blair May Poodle For Murdoch
2007-01-20 20:51:36
No sooner than making the comment that Tony Blair
may have a £4 million book deal with Rupert Murdoch
 but pondering whether Murdoch will back Brown or Cameron, than it seems the plot has already thickened.
The Independent has an article saying that now Murdoch, the most powerful person on earth, may invite Little Tony Blair onto his board:
The media magnate Rupert Murdoch is expected to offer Tony Blair a senior role in his News Corporation empire when he stands down as Prime Minister
Some Blair allies insist that Mr Murdoch’s alleged influence over decisions affecting his business interests and Europe have been greatly exaggerated. But Lance Price, who was deputy to the Downing Street communications director Alastair Campbell, is not among them. He has described Mr Murdoch as “the 24th member of the Cabinet”, saying: “No big decision could ever be made inside No 10 without taking account of the likely reaction of three men - Gordon Brown, John Prescott and Ru

USA May Investigate BAE
2007-01-20 17:38:02
The Serious Fraud Office investigation into corruption at BAE Systems, which was halted by Tony Blair and Lord Goldsmith in what the OECD is investigating as possibly an illegal move on their part, could now be taken over by the United States Department of Justice, says The Telegraph newspaper today.
The £40 billion Al Yamamah armaments deal with Saudi Arabia had been investigated by the SFO for possible instances of bribery by BAE Systems of Saudi officials, but it was stopped when Tony Blair decided it was against national interests, although Britain is a signatory to the OECD agreement which is supposed to safeguard against this type of corruption and does not allow the national interests excuse as a get-out clause, which could obviously otherwise be used as a blanket method to cover up corruption and bribery which might be an embarrassment to any country or big business interests. This is why the termination of the investigation annoyed the OECD.

Morally And Legally Wrong
2007-01-22 18:54:37
There is an interesting piece at Love and Liberty, which suggests that New Labour is now so morally inept that it convinces itself that any harm it does is ultimately good if it maintains the Party in power. Here’s a taste:-
If anything that aids the Labour cause is right, then anything that obstructs it must be wrong. And so follow the deeply felt moral objections to judges, forces of conservatism, impertinent journalists, impertinent police investigations, protesters, liberals and laws. If they are roadblocks to "progress', well then, they are simply wrong. It's not merely that they believe themselves above the law, but that - as evidenced by the unprecedented way in which they tinker with it - the law itself is just an occasionally inconvenient means to their ends, itself to be denounced when it gets in the way. Churn out new laws as if every day is Day Zero. Sneer at hundreds of years of legal protections. Juries find the wrong way? Do away with jury trials. Judges

Dodgy Peerages Saga Taints Blair Legacy
2007-01-22 15:22:55
The Dodgy
Peerages Saga may have died down for a day, with Lord Goldsmith warning MPs to steer clear of making comments about the police handling of the case, but it is clearly not going to go away.
This Is London (from The Evening Standard) is suggesting that the Metropolitan Police may want to question more people close to Tony Blair
, including his Chief of Staff, Jonathan Powell, perhaps under caution.
This follows from what appears to be a leak from Number 10 and subsequent police investigation of emails relating to the cash for peerages scandal.
Lance Price, a former press aide at Number 10 said:-
‘If that had been seen through [the reform of the House of Lords], with a democratic Upper House with no place for anybody who hadn’t earned it on merit alone, then we would be looking at Tony Blair as one of the greatest reforming prime ministers,’ he writes.
‘As it is, he will get no credit for what he did do and has earned nothing but contempt for what he fail

Blair's New Labour: Rotten To The Core
2007-01-22 14:16:11
Following on from the article in The Guardian, which asks whether New Labour
and its fawning salivations over celebrity and filthy lucre have cheapened Britain, marketsaremonsters makes this comment:-
The Rotten
ness is in NuLab’s DNA.
The tragedy was that after 18 years of defeat, ordinary, working-class Labour MPs lost their confidence and turned to Blair
and his overconfident, self-promoting middle class acolytes, completely failing to recognise that these opportunists had simply chosen Labour as their best career option. Worse than Tories, Blair and his fellow-travellers lack all moral principle; they have no vision or underpinning values worthy of the name; their only purpose is to ‘win’ whatever argument or game is afoot. Lacking any moral compass, they blow whichever way looks likely to win them one more year, or month, or week, or day with the trappings of power. So they ripped the moral crusade out of Labour’s heart and replaced it with a list of bullet-
Vulgar Britain
2007-01-22 13:00:18
This is following on from the Guardian article about how debased Britain
has become.
How many people remember the way we used to regard Australia, before it became an exotic holiday destination? We used to mock the vulgarity of these barely redeemed convicts, their lack of culture, their newness, their commonness. Now how the boot hurts when it’s on the other foot!
This is the comment from Manclad following the article linked to above:
I left for a holiday in Sydney for the millennium and never returned, quitting my job and getting a visa here. On the odd occasion I do return to the UK I’m astonished by what I find — a cheap, tawdry place, full of dirt and alcohol and fighting and low-rent entertainment, utterly in thrall to celebrity and money. It makes the worst excesses of Australian consumerism look classy, which is quite some achievement
You can’t blame Blair entirely for the depths into which the country has fallen, but by running a government whose ethos

Dodgy Britain
2007-01-22 12:24:08
The Guardian has an article suggesting that for all the brash, vulgar, money-sodden distastefulness of the eighties under Thatcher, Blair’s New Labour and its obsession with chav celebrity and making piles of money by any means debases Britain
and its culture to a greater degree.
The Blair court has presided over this new rottenness
New Labour has played along too happily with the greedy and bullying. Society is now uglier than it was under Thatcher
It is hard to deny that, perhaps in trivial ways, the Blair court has encouraged the cult of extravagance. From the early fawning on the Oasis boys, through the holidays in palazzos and Caribbean hideaways, this has hardly been an austerity administration. The media barons and television darlings who have done most to encourage boorishness have been grovelled to by ministers. Rupert Murdoch trumps the BBC, as we saw last week. Richard Desmond, the pornographer-publisher, is courted by Tony Blair himself. If you are rich and influentia

Albion Olympics 2012
2007-01-23 22:20:13
Tony Blair has actually been foolhardy enought to put his name to an article in the Guardian praising the future London Olympics
set for 2012 and saying that it will be the ‘greenest’ olympics ever-ish.
I don’t want to be cynical, but green things seem to be the rage at the moment, so it does seem that there is the merest possibility that this is just an attempt to grandstand on the latest bandwagon. If that should be the case, it has backfired somewhat.
Tony Blair’s article, which, I am sure, was written by some poor lackey looking for a future, sounds mesmerisingly like a pastiche of something in the St Albion News section of Private Eye.
“In the nature of construction of this complexity, there will be obstacles that it is not yet possible to foresee. There will always be pessimists who claim every setback is a catastrophe. The same people no doubt said that even to bid was a waste of time. I am glad we ignored the doom-mongers then, and we will ignore t

2007-01-23 20:47:36
It could be that it is apocryphal, but it has a certain plausibility: “Iraq
, Iran - they’re the same place, aren’t they?” a comment which has been attributed to George W Bush. ‘Well, whatever, let’s bomb the shit out of them anyway’ seems to be the policy at the moment, with claims that Bush is setting his timetable to launch the atack based around Tony Blair’s leaving schedule.
The Los Angeles Times has an article which seems to suggest that the basis of any military action against Iran may be as spurious as the reasons which were used to attack Iraq.
President Bush promised to “seek out and destroy” Iranian networks that he said were providing “advanced weaponry and training to our enemies.”
Before invading Iraq, the administration warned repeatedly that Saddam Hussein was developing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Those statements proved wrong. The administration’s charges about Iran sound uncomf

Blair Blurred
2007-01-24 21:37:26
This is, I’m sure, an old story, but worth bringing out for another airing. The text is taken from the Telegraph Magazine for 20.1.2007.
More disillusionment set in when he [Damon Albarn, leader of the pop group Blur] agreed to meet Tony Blair
, who, he had told the press, ’should ditch politics and join Blur’. Six months before the elections, ‘I had this very uncomfortable encounter in his office at the Palace of Westminster. Alastair Campbell stood behind me, John Prescott sat beside me and Tony Blair before me. It was one of those meetings that change your life, because I saw something in him I was very alarmed by. His question to me was, “So what do you think the youth want?” I had a really bad hangover and I said, “They just don’t want to be pressurised”‘.
The next time Blair issued an invitation, to the ‘Cool Britannia’ PR exercise at Downing Street, which was the first time a political party had used a youth
United Against Bush
2007-01-24 18:27:56
It may be that Tony Blair’s popularity is going downhill faster than a downhill speed skier on rocket-propelled skis, but meanwhile, over in America, George W Bush is about as popular as (put in the most unpopular thing you can think of - other than George Bush).
Stop him before he kills again. That is the judgment of the American people, and indeed of the entire world, as to the performance of our president, and no State of the Union address can erase that dismal verdict.
President Bush has accomplished what Osama bin Laden only dreamed of by disgracing the model of American democracy in the eyes of the world. According to an exhaustive BBC poll, nearly three-quarters of those polled in 25 countries oppose the Bush policy on Iraq, and more than two-thirds believe the U.S. presence in the Middle East destabilizes the region.
In other words, the almost universal support the United
States enjoyed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks has been completely squandered, as a majority of the
No War, No Terror
2007-01-24 17:29:54
In Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell said that the appearance, the myth, the pretence of continual war had to be maintained in order to make the people of Airstrip One (the name for Britain in the novel, in which it is a subject colony of America) supine and susceptible to brainwashing.
You may say that we are not characters in some silly old novel and our honourable government would not lie to its grateful subjects in this lovely modern land of ours. After all, Tony Blair promised to be “purer than pure” in office and there is no reason to disbelieve him. So what is this from AFP via Yahoo?
The nation’s top prosecutor has set himself at odds with Prime Minister Tony Blair’s government, saying the “war on terror” does not exist and urging restraint on laws threatening human rights.
The director of public prosecutions, Ken Macdonald, warned Wednesday of a “fear-driven and inappropriate response” to the new threat that could lead to the

Blair Debate Iraq? Nah, Follow The Money!
2007-01-24 15:11:35
Tony Blair
has been criticised for not attending a debate in Parliament concerning the war in Iraq
. Instead, he decided to skip off early to attend a CBI meeting.
Labour MP John McDonnell said: "He cannot find time to attend a debate in the House of Commons about a policy that is undermining his legacy, preferring to speak to big business. It is a shocking negation of his responsibilities"
William Hague said: "He was in the House to lead us to war. He should now be in the House to reassure Parliament and the country that the Government understands the gravity of the situation in Iraq and has a clear strategy for making Iraq safe and stable"
Come on, what do you expect? Choose between some boring debate about some war in a sandy country or schmooze with some friends and network with big business? What is a poor chavspiv supposed to do?

Nothing To Hide, Nothing To Fear
2007-01-25 14:41:36
As I have just posted this over at Greg Palast’s site it made me think that maybe we should, as good citizens, make a concerted effort to keep track of our politicians and their activities.
Collecting information on citizens seems to be popular with unpopular governments at the moment. Do they think that if they have enough control over the population at large, it will never be able to rise up against them, vote them out or otherwise depose them? Are they that fearful of their positions?
I would imagine they are, as I think all governments, whether apparently open and democratic or closed and despotic fear their people to the point of having perpetual runny bottoms.
Perhaps it is simply time for the people to keep a database on their politicians. After all, as they keep telling us, if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear.
Being good, honest politicians with nothing to hide, I am sure they would welcome the move. Let me know your ideas.

Database Of Lies
2007-01-25 14:25:00
It seems that people are beginning to indulge in what is becoming a new spectator sport: watching politicians on television to spot when they are lying. It used to be easier in the old days - you just stuck to the adage, “When do you know a politician is lying? When he speaks” but the world gets more sophisticated.
There is an interesting piece at Greg Palast’s site, which says that George Bush sticks his tongue out when he lies. No, no, I don’t mean George Bush actually sticks his tongue out at the viewers and flaps his hands behind his ears; that would be stupid and childish and George Bush is the leader of the free world, so he would hardly be just a stupid child, would he? No, siree! That’s for damned sure. No way, Jose. Nope. Nah!

Fear And Loathing In Davos
2007-01-25 21:58:57
Over at The Guardian, Julian Glover has a short item about the meeting of the rich and powerful at Davos:
Gathered together, the men and women who have done well out of globalisation are frightened. They don’t quite say so openly, but there’s a suspicion that something, somehow, is about to go wrong with the world. They know that their luck has carried them much further than they have any right to expect. They fear retribution.
It is normal to imagine that only the poor are scared: the rich are too secure, too insulated and too, let’s be honest, rich to be scared. I think that this is a fallacy and that there is a feeling in the world that things are not going to just keep carrying on the way they are. The reason for feeling this is that there are moves in America and Britain to curtail civil liberties. This is a sure sign of fear. Once people know that the politicians are scared, there will be a lot of Ceausescu moments ahead.

Second Brain Cell Found At Number 10
2007-01-25 21:07:27
The Press Association, picked up here through The Guardian, has a story that there is a second, undisclosed computer network at 10 Downing Street, which may have been used for sending and receiving emails which have not been disclosed during the police investigation into the cash for honours scandal and which subsequently may have been deleted.
A Downing Street spokesman said: “This story is untrue. There is no second computer system in No 10. There are no emails of the type that seem to be described. The police have had full access to the system and full co-operation.
“The police have not put any of this to us.”
Oh, that is such a relief. Thank you for putting our minds at rest, Mr Number

For Hoon The Bell Tolls
2007-01-26 14:02:51
The word ‘hoon’ is an Australian and New Zealand slang term for a dangerous or reckless boy-racer, usually in a flashy, customised, souped-up car. Hardly comparable, then, with the figure of Geoff Hoon, the politician, who has been described as a country solicitor: presumably, in that case, within a small and ailing firm in a hamlet. To call Mr Hoon lugubrious is akin to calling a corpse animated. He rose without trace to a position in the defence department, probably at ministerial level and has since disappeared with similar invisibility to somewhere else.
However, yesterday evening saw him appearing on Question Time for no apparent reason other than to fiddle with his pen and mumble. So why make a point of commenting on that? For the simple reason that he is the first politician I have seen who has demonstrated with every word, manner and gesture that New Labour is now a lost cause. Matthew Parris and Nicholas Soames were among the other guests and each time they spoke t
Judges Give Blair Bovver Boy Good Kicking
2007-01-26 23:29:45
Oh, how things can change over just a few short months! Poor Dr John Reid, the serial minister, who took over at the Home Office from Charles Clarke less than a year ago and looked as if he was going to make the department which was ‘not fit for purpose’ all ship-shape and Bristol fashion. Yes, well, sort of.
The problem, in part, has been that he took over as a result of a scandal - foreign criminals not being repatriated after their release - but has since presided over his very own scandal - British criminals who have committed their crimes abroad not being kept track of when they return to Britain. Then he gives the judiciary a tip, from, I’m sure, the goodness of his heart. He says, in effect, “Look, the prisons are pretty full and we forgot to build more, so could you not send anyone to jail for a bit if you think they will behave themselves? Yeah? OK. Thanks! Love, John”.

Tony Blair Falling And Being Pushed
2007-01-27 15:08:14
There are some people who want Tony Blair
to stay in office forever. No, honestly. They must have taken to heart that childish gibberish he came out with on entering office. Something like "a thousand days to prepare for a thousand years" was it? Oh, who cares? Hitler was the other great millenarian fantasist, so it is to be doubted whether there is anything to be proud of in this empty, but almost clever sounding claptrap. Still, it probably had more rhetorical cadence than his normal speeches, which usually sound like he is reading recipes which he is having to translate from a foreign language in which he is not entirely fluent.
The problem is, although we can be pretty sure that Our Dear Leader is actually on his way this time (it could, of course, be just another lie) that we don’t know when and we don’t know whether things will be any better under his successor.

"Billy No Mates' Tony Blair Enters Parallel Universe
2007-01-27 13:03:36
Frank Dobson, the former Health Secretary and unsuccessful London Mayor candidate, has said that Tony Blair
is now “in office but not in power” and has recommended that he goes now and lets Gordon Brown get on with things.
These extracts are taken from The Independent.
“Quite a few people are now thinking that things are getting into such a mess that it would be better if Tony Blair
went now even if it meant that Gordon Brown did have to take some responsibility for our electoral performance in May,” he said on GMTV.
Frank Dobson went on to say that nobody believes there is now any proper control within New Labour, either at the head or at departmental level. In fact, Tony Blair is now so much of a pariah, that he occupies the position of the archetypal Billy

John Reid's Job On The Line
2007-01-27 12:42:33
Let’s hope tough guy John Reid is as tough as he thinks he is, as he battles to save his career amidst a thorough bashing from judges, who have decided to give non-custodial sentences to convicted criminals who otherwise would have gone to jail. This has been, apparently, as a result of John Reid telling the judges not to send people to jail if they pose no real threat to society, because the prisons are full. What it is actually about is the fact that judges, quite rightly in a democracy, do not like politicians telling them what to do, which is why they are happily putting the boot in.
Dr Reid seems to have made another gaffe in trying to correct the situation: "Of course the top judge knows the big picture, but many others see what is in front of them and they don't see the wider picture," he said. So that will just look like toadying to the upper echelons and treating the lower orders like a bunch of idiots. Well, done, Dr Reid. Go straight to jail, as the saying goes.
Is Tony Blair Vicky Pollard In Drag?
2007-01-28 19:39:56
There has been some speculation about what Tony Blair
might do when he eventually steps down from his role as Prime Minister. Obviously, most people think he will chase the money on the lecture circuit to help pay off the huge mortgage he should not properly be able to afford on his current salary. Some people say he will go into some kind of international charity work; others that he will go into the venture capital market and still more that his future will be in the nuclear industry or possibly arms dealing. However, as this transcript of an interview reveals, he is clearly intent on landing the role of Vicky Pollard
on the pantomime circuit, so expect to see him slapped up with greasepaint on the stage of a seaside venue near you soon.

Murdoch Will Not Re-Elect New Labour
2007-01-29 12:54:40
Jackie Ashley, writing in The Guardian, quotes a comment by Gordon Brown, who seems to have been sitting next to Rupert Murdoch
at Davos:
“A few years ago the debate was about whether the media controlled politicians or whether politicians controlled the media. Now it is about how we are all responding to the explosive power of citizens, consumers and bloggers. The new focus on the environment is the result of that. The Make Poverty History campaign was the result of that. Citizens are flexing their muscles,” he said.
She goes on to say that the news and comment which comes from the internet and blogging is biased towards particular groups and lines of thought. This is, of course, true, but that does not make it different from the other media on which we have traditionally relied in the past for our information.
Make Poverty History was an alliance which brilliantly used the internet. But even it depended on the old-style glamour of rock stars, the old-fashioned force of ma

ID Cards Maxed Out
2007-01-29 23:51:20
Those who think that the proposed imposition of identity cards in the UK will be just another expensive fiasco of government mismanagement, leading to identity theft and the need to present your card to traffic wardens, school crossing patrols, gas leak inspectors and roadsweepers, as Britain becomes a police state run by petty jobsworths and little Hitlers, should take heart from America.
Presumably this is where this morally and intellectually bankrupt government got the idea in the first place anyway. If George Bush brings in the Patriot Act and makes America a fascist state, Britain, of course, has to follow suit. The problem is that America is telling Bush to get stuffed, whereas in Britain, not only is Gordon Brown hell-bent on introducing ID cards, but you can be sure that all the other political parties want to do the same. This is an opportunity none of them will want to miss.
One of the most controversial elements of the war on terror has been the attempt to use it as a justi

Disclaim Your Inheritance Now
2007-01-29 14:27:20
Everyone seems to be thinking that there is something dodgy, something fishy about Tony Blair. His approval ratings, as the Americans call them, have plummeted to the point of invisibility. He has become a pariah. The government is in almost daily open rebellion and he seems to be inhabiting a mental quiet place, where reality never intrudes, as he speculates on the grand legacy he will bequeath to a grateful nation. Before he foists some bit of tinsel covered tat on you, it is time to start insisting that you want nothing from him, otherwise your own integrity may be soiled by association.
Time and perception go hand in hand and sometimes act in collusion to distort the way we perceive the world. At this point, you need to judge whether you are being manipulated and how.
