What’s the point of all these “Blair years“ supplements and extended news programmes.
Do the media think we’ve forgotten what’s been going on?
I think it’s all needless and just exercise in them using their picture and clip libraries.
If they had a big headline “BLAIR ADMITS TO LYING, MENDACIOUS BEHAVIOUR, ANNOYING POSH BOY PERSONALITY AND TERRIBLE SHORT SIGHTED POLICIES AND OFFERS TO PAY BACK THE MONEY HE’S WASTED AND VISIT THE GRAVES OF THOSE HE’S PUT IN HARMS WAY”, they may just have something.
But as we know that will never happen, he will bugger off and get millions for his boring diaries, which nobody outside the media will read.
I am most annoyed with his “I did what I thought was best” defence, which is the sort of nonsense no parent or teacher would stand for. “Tony, why did you spill paint all over the shed floor?”“Well, I thought it was the best thing for the shed, the garden and most of all the good people of this family”.
I’m also sick of this idea that New Labour failed because we expected too much. Not that they didn’t deliver on their promises but that somehow us the voters wanting clean hospitals, 3rd world debt relief, safe transport, well educated children etc put a burden on the government that was excessive. They squandered two terms of massive majorities with prevarication and a lack of conviction.Meanwhile, people will still die in Iraq, the world’s poor will still get ripped off, our taxes will get miss spent and lying and spin will become the norm.
One thing which has always soured Blair’s time in charge is the presences of Alistair Campbell on our screens. Has there ever been a more hateful none elected figure? On Channel 4 last night he was his usual repellent self, he had the brass neck to suggest that the media and voters are responsible for his spin. Receiving a moral lecture from him (as at the time of 45 minute dossier) drove me to turn over.
