Blair’s latest attempt at rehabilitation is a discussion tomorrow at Westminster Central Hall with the Archbishop of Canterbury on the place of religion in society. A vexed question, but given that Blair believes God OK’d the invasion of Iraq and the resulting million deaths, not one that can usefully be discussed by this charlatan.
You can protest at Westminster Central Hall from 4pm tomorrow. Should be a lovely day for it. Bring own rotten tomatoes.
According to a senior security source whom I dined with over a bottle of claret earlier in the day, Bashar al-Assad has links to 9/11 and has an army of belly-dancing assassins deployed in London (these are the belly-dancing assassins who previously worked for Saddam, but my source informs me they have now switched allegiance to the Syrian regime in time for the Olympics).
part of comment left at end of stream of horror about resurgence of Blair on CiF fwiw:
Extraordinary how the moral vacuumers sidle in at the end of these comments. “Come on guys, Blair did not jump on the bandwagon of hate”? He didn’t need to. He was riding, as so many people have pointed out, on the bandwagon of deceit, fear-mongering and power. He brought disgrace and bloodshed to this peaceful country. He involved us all, as horrified voyeurs, in the murderous assaults of Shock and Awe and Fallujah; the tortures of Abu Ghraib; the toxic legacy of depleted uranium; the crippling of an entire country and the displacement of millions. When was the last time you read any news from Iraq? Not only is Blair now visibly insane; his profiteering and corporate whoring are now legendary (the ‘public face of Louis Vuitton’ indeed) Someone claims that he would ‘wipe the floor’ with Cameron. My next-door neighbour (postman, retired) would wipe the floor with Cameron, and not because he is a terrifying example of the extremities of self-deception, self-aggrandisement and nihilism, either. I pity Blair, in a way, but to suggest he should do anything other than retrain as a lavatory attendant does not help him, and it does not help this country or, heaven help us, Iran, which he seems equally keen on attacking. One could and should look at his supine, spineless, culpable supporters in all the main parties too, of course.

Assad is mad. Just because Blair and Barak could openly deploy chemicals like phosphor on innocent civilians does not mean that tin=pot Russian-backed dictators can do the same.
He is absolutely mad to think that. Blair can drip around the Westminster No-demonstration-zone like an oversized gem on the bosom of an opera star with his cross-dangling friend.
That is because he sold his entire soul to Israel.
Assad is mad if he thinks he can do the same.
What awaits him now/ what about castration and hanging? Blockbuster dictator movies all have to end on the same satisfying moral theme. The pro-Israel criminals get tea with the bishop outside parliament and the anti-Israel criminals get 1640s limb separation and public display.
In spite of the sickening Follywood moral endings, I hope Assad is crushed soon, after this display of gross arrogance by him.
He has shown himself to be his predecessor’s true heir in violence and hubris. I hope he goes soon.
The state within the state desperately needs someone to replace Cameron as he’s a real dickhead especially in dealing with Europe. So they’re launching a massive manipulation. The day before yesterday in an article published by the Mail there were hundreds of comment virtually all showing absolute disgust at any comeback. The comments had Likes and Dislikes with hundreds of subscribers. Today in the Mail there was another article with quite a different selection of comments so totally different that some of the commentators must come from a ‘different source’.
Another interesting thing I’ve noticed today is ‘the Guardian/ICM poll, if Blair were to return as leader, a prospect he acknowledges is “not likely to happen”, the party’s standing would sink by three points, from the 39% vote share under Ed Miliband, down to just 36%.’
Three points is nothing and doesn’t reflect the real disgust most of the population feel. Gradually week by week polls will become more positive towards Blair so that when it comes to him getting the most votes as an MP people will ‘accept’ the result. But I’m sure the election will be fixed.

This comment is a personal attack upon Guano. I feel I should delete it really, but who am I to delete anything? What shall I call you, “Prisoner #24526262 BLAIR”? You comment under so many names. I suppose it serves as a method of dodging criticism.
.
You have misinterpreted Guano’s comment, and your interpretation of Middle-Eastern conflict is one-sided. I won’t do you the favour of deleting this. I’ll leave it visible; hopefully you’ll become ashamed of it.

I think you should pick a name and stick to it. Taking responsibility might improve the quality of your comments.]

What is this ‘display of gross arrogance’ by Assad, you speak of Guano, please enilighten us, we do not have your divine sources, or lickspittle absorption of mainstream media, bogus narratives -no true news today, here’s some lies we made up earlier. He seems to be doing a decent job of defending his country against far more powerful forces: a rogue superpower surpassing the combined efforts of Hitler and Stalin in attributable death toll, and its sad hangers-on, worshippers of the same death cult, from the UK, EU, sundry Arab tyrants and neighbouring tooled-up Judaized Mongolians, posing as Israeli semites, long time occupiers of the choicest Syrian farmland; what’s wrong not got enough stolen land yet, want more still and prepared to launch another slaughter-fest to achieve it however temporarily. Not caused quite enough misery in the world yet?
.
And yet shouldn’t we be thanking, praising President Assad, he seemed to be doing a decent job of decimating a universal foe, Al-Quaeda CIA and MI6 Al-Quaeda rent-a-jihad fellow murderers which American might over more than a decade could not lay a glove on; the database of bearded mercenaries left standing might well fit on a single floppy uncompressed.
.
I think you speak with forked tongue, why on earth would Assad sell his soul to Israel, it is inconceivable, I think you just liked repeating the wearing old ‘Assad is bad’ meme, but it’s never taken off and it doesn’t make any sense; like most of your posts this one is ambiguous inconsistent and truly batshit. I think the sick dream of a ‘greater israel’ built on rotting Arab flesh and bones, is in your heart and mind and let’s face it there could not be a lesser Israel, it is already the lowest of the low who have been long time occupiers of some of the choicest Syrian farmland, but will they stop with just ‘from the Jordan to the Litani rivers’ or will their newest nuclear subs and weapons threaten our very home islands too.
.
Some nice juicy pipelines of oil and gas from the Caspian region could then terminate now in Israel, through the smoking ruins of Syria and Lebanon, bypassing Iran and Russian controlled lands so that there is further Israeli control of most of the remaining economically extractable hydrocarbon fuels in the world, truly with their thumb on all our windpipes and lucrative transit fees to Israel, ramping up our and everyone else’s fuel bills further for this particularly nasty little NBC-armed theocratic apartheid non-state’s chosen people to crow over their cleverness and wickedness but still grasping dependent US aid junkies. All the better to recruit the impoverished economic conscript US underclass.
‘
It is revealing that the Hasbara crown are allowed to make limited criticism now of Israel itself to burnish their credentials as anything other than the one-eyed monomaniacs they usually manifest as, but it is all safe, never controversial or damning stuff.
.
Hubris: overweening arrogance, I think that’s Israel you just characterized, but what goes around comes around mate and nemesis always lurks not far behind.
Great stuff – this blog has become active again! I knew a long trip abroad would do the trick. Worked for the weather back home upon returning, too 😉
Blair needs the services of a taxidermist to be rehabilitated.
Religion isn’t going to save him from what he deserves.
The legacy of the Olympics ,like Blairs war will leave one massive hole in the balance sheet.
He’s a dead man walking with a silly little grin on his face

As I recall, Blair’s spokeman said “We don’t do God”. Former Anglican Archbishop George Carey has written a book by that title about Blair’s contribution.
And now he wants to discuss the role of religion in society? Let him repent of his own promotion of godlessness.
PS. I meant “contribution” to the situation, not the solution.

Abe Rene: do try to keep up. Blair is a spiritual beacon, and the Pope secured an interview with the great man not long ago.
And he is ecumenical. A figure second only to Jesus (well, modesty forbids, you know…) he aspires to unite the world in love and charity and unregulated banking….

Naming and Shaming the “Morally Repugnant” David Gauke
.
Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury David Gauke writing in The Times this morning says that they are going to name and shame tax dodgers. He also gives examples of what is fair and what is not:
.
Legitimate use of reliefs, for example taking out a tax-free ISA, is not tax avoidance. Buying a house for personal use through a company to avoid stamp duty, on the other hand, clearly is. Morally repugnant practices such as this are where the Government is cracking down.
.
David Gauke MP claimed £10,248.32 expenses back from taxpayers to avoid paying the stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his home in London. Not only is that in his own words “morally repugnant”, it is beyond hypocritical to lecture others against doing what he himself did. It is shameless.

David Gauke’s Wife is Tax Avoidance Lawyer
This morning Guido named and shamed Treasury minister David Gauke – in his own words – as “morally repugnant” to be criticising others for their tax arrangements, but it doesn’t stop there. It turn’s out that Gauke’s wife Rachel is a professional support lawyer for Lexis Nexis, a company which boasts of its ability to “support every tax practitioner on the front line as they deal with the tax collector“. According to her personal profile Rachel “specialises in corporate tax law…and has advised on corporate restructurings, M&A, investment funds and finance“. Sounds like it an awkward weekend in the Gauke household.

Well, Mr Murray I think you are wrong.
.
In fact War Criminals are given larger and more influential platforms then those who really deserved to be heard.
.
Mind you guys like Kissinger or Bzhezinsky give dozens of speeches per year to the audience of influential politicians or in business circles. Blair is just ONE of them and by far not the ONLY one. If W Bush was little smarter than he is, he too would have been popular with speeches, but his pigeon size brain does not allow him to shine in similar manner.
.
I am not sure if Blair believes in God but for sure he believes in money. Have you got money and he will serve you, be you even president of Kazakhstan or hedge fund executive.

Blair Foundation
BWCF – THE BLAIR WAR CRIMES FOUNDATION
It is necessary to make leaders hesitate before indulging in “the paramount war crime” to quote the judges of Nuremberg, of “unprovoked aggression against a defenceless country”. Unless leaders fear that they might be tried for their war crimes, we will live in an increasingly violent world, where The Geneva Conventions are treated as a joke, the UN is of no account, and death, destruction, torture, and repressive policing are commonplace. At the moment such leaders enjoy more and more trappings of power, and retire with vast sums of money, houses, medals and lucrative contracts. A group of UK Citizens have therefore set up an organisation, “The Blair War Crimes Foundation”, to initially bring one such leader to justice as an example.

It is not so much that Blair believes in God, it is what God can do for Blair.
Vatican mafia exposed. JPMorgan complicit in money laundering.Blair and JPMorgan work together. I believe sooner rather than later it will also be exposed that the Vatican pay for terrorism.
Take a look at the images of Blair on this blog, he, Bush and Murdoch are all Papal Knights of Malta answerable ONLY to the Pope.
The Pope has hired a PR man ex FOX reporter, you’ve guessed it a very loyal Murdoch man. Why would God need a spin doctor ?

Mary,
I have written to Professor Linda Woodhead at Lancaster Uni. the organiser of the Blair discussion. Interestingly her book ‘God and Human Dignity’ explores the theme that all humans have the potential to become God, free of suffering and death.

I attended the last anti-Blair demo at Arsenal’s stadium in London recently. In attendance were two CND people, two people from the Stop The War Coalition, myself and 25 others. I counted them. That’s a grand total of 30 people.
Where were the remaining 1.5 million who, in 2003, demonstrated against the Iraq war, I asked myself?
As soon as the spotlight is turned onto the rich and their tax avoidance of trillions the mainstream media turn it all around the next day and divert the anger to working class people and cash in hand payments.

Now all pieces of the puzzle are coming together. Religion is yet again complicit in the worst inhumane actions made on its behalf.

And I am left to wonder what is the role of Vatican (as an institution) in 21st century. Surely not to stand up in defence of moral principles of humanity (or at least Catholic part of it).
And again…

Rose, yes, it’s an intriguing phenomenon – in this regard, think also of Sarkozy. And there are plenty of lickspittles (in Urdu parlance, they are known as ‘chamchas’ – ‘spoons’ – who behave in like manner, pulling up ladders (because they see themselves now as snakes), aligning with the centres of power, vociferating against the aspects of themsleves which secretly they despise, trying to separate themselves from their past itinerant and subaltern status. They are not unlike the nouveau riche – Thatcherite Conservatism – think of Norman Tebbit – with respect to ethnicty instead of/in addition to social class.

Feel free to delete the above comment, I am not at all embarassed by it; as you will be aware, I do supply my genuine e-mail address to all commments and do take responsibility for them whether using the same displayed name consistently, I do not do personality cults.
I do not regard the above comment as an attack on Guano, I was asking him/her to clarify what they see as Assad’s ‘gross arrogance’ and why he thinks contrary to all evidence, that Assad ‘would sell his soul to Israel’? I would have welcomed some to and fro with Guano to try grasp their honest position and the meaning of a quite difficult and confusing post. Though under the guise of outpsoken frankness and firm terms, mildly radical, he is still nevertheless calling for the ousting of Assad, which is the outcome US/UK/Israel/Arab rogue governments fervently hope for. We can read/hear ‘Assad must go’ nonsense day in and day out on our televisions and in our newspapers ad nauseam, I did think the better posts here were from those who did not simply regurgitate mainstream ‘news’ and editiorial policy, we do not come here to see ‘It was the Sun wot won it’ and isn’t Blair/Cameron/Clegg wonderful.
.
Something I’ve liked about this blog as well Craig’s powerful and heartfelt posts, had been the fairly light or nil moderation and the willingness to entertain points of view, stronger street anglo-saxon language and interpretations of events which go beyond that which mainstream media are ever likely to do. So rather than picking a ‘name’ and becoming a forum ‘character’ I’ll instead be silenced by your exceptional singling out and modification of/undermining of my comment and return to read only mode on this site. Off in a huff.
