Tony Blair up for another award…

Ah, good old Tony… His mantelpiece must be groaning under the weight of all these awards. He is, truly, a man blessed with the bounties of life on earth… Money, fame, fantastic job, accolades and adulation, a lovely wife. Oh, perhaps not. I mean, would you? No, nor would I. Wikio Wikio

Hey hey Tony hey, how many kids have you killed today?

Sky News reports that Tony Blair has been pelted with eggs and shoes at his book-signing in Dublin today. The following video is worth a watch, if only to wind yourself up listening to arse-licking turncoat Shaun Woodward’s sycophantic drivel: Unfortunately, the missiles thrown after he had emerged from the back of a car surrounded by a [...]

The economic consequences of Mr. Brown

My thanks to our blogging colleague Old Holborn for bringing our attention to the following youtube clip of a speech by Professor Stein Ringen, and thence, by extension, the rather longer version below it. The subject is a book by Professor Ringen called “The Economic Consequences of Mr Brown”: quite a subject… The good Professor is [...]

13 years of Labour: how much we have forgotten

This film speaks for itself: it should be compulsory viewing for anyone tempted to vote Labour tomorrow. It wasn’t until the end that I realised who’d made it: powerful stuff. I wonder how they kept it so short… Wikio Wikio

Suffering from election fatigue?

I think I probably am, but not in the ways you might immediately think. In this era of media- and spin-led politics, we are seemingly interminably subjected to a constant barrage of soundbites, ‘news’, glad-handing, palm-pressing, baby-kissing and any other inconsequential drivel that our political classes and their sycophants in the media care to inflict upon [...]

Is Brown more presidential than Blair was?

As previously reported, the Prime Mentalist came to Suffolk yesterday to lay down a curse or two. Apparently he swept into town with an entourage including motorcycle out-riders and unmarked black cars. The local rag, the Evening Star, covered this in some detail, highlighting some creative interpretation of speed limits by Brown’s drivers, and a [...]

William Hague performs well in PMQs

William Hague destroyed Harridan Harperson today in PMQs (link to BBC iPlayer) where she was deputising for the Prime Mentalist. Vince Cable did a fair job as well. Watching HH was interesting, in a watching-paint-dry kind of way. She was poorly-prepared, wooden, perfunctory and lightweight. I’ve long been frustrated watching the Prime Mentalist blatantly not answering [...]

Ex-Editor-in-Chief of the Mirror demolishes New Labour.

Well, here’s a turn-up for the books… Mike Molloy, ex Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and The People (he left in 1990), has utterly demolished Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and New Labour in an article in today’s Daily Mail. My old chap always said that Socialism was a disease that a little money and [...]

Blair’s millions: is the mystery solved?

Well now, here’s a thing. I always thought the Grauniad was a friend of all things lefty, especially New Labour and “our Tone”, but it appears not always. At the beginning of December, the Guardian set up a competition which they described as “an experiment in crowd-sourcing“, to find the best explanation for Blair’s complex financial [...]
