We doubt if Boris Johnson, or any other media publisher in the UK or any blogger will actually publish the alleged "Bush / Blair / Al Jazeera Memo". Before anybody starts emailing all and sundry with copies of any alleged Memo, please check that it is not a hoax infected with a computer virus etc.!

Some questions for the media and for bloggers who are claiming that they would be willing to publish thiis secret document, if it magically fell into their hands, despite the risk of prosecution under the Official Secrets Act 1989 etc.:

  1. How easy are you making it for some anonymous insider whistleblower source to actually send you any such leaked Memos ?

  2. Do you publish your Email Address ?

  3. Do you publish , for example, a PGP Public Encryption key like ours ?

  4. Do you publish a Telephone or Mobile Phone Number ?

  5. Do you publish a Fax number ?

  6. Do you publish your Postal Address ?

  7. How will you be able to tell if the person on the other end of a phone, email, fax etc., willing to meet you in a Pub, to discuss publication of the Memo, is genuine, and is not a fraudster or an agent provocateur ?

  8. How exactly are you planning to authenticate any such memo which "just happens" to be sent to you ?

  9. How will you protect your whistleblower source from discovery and prosecution ?

  10. Why would any insider whistleblower who did have access to such information actually give you an exclusive story, rather than calling an open press conference, if they plan to take a principlied stand in public ?

  11. Will you remember to inspect the alleged memo for meta data if it is in, say, Microsoft Word .doc format e.g. Author name etc. ?

  12. Will you check such a Word document in case an old version of Word has been used, which betrays a GUID with an embedded MAC or IP address in it ?

  13. WIll you remember to copy any poorly censored portions from an Adobe .pdf into a text editor to reveal the underlying hidden text ?

BlairWatch has a useful summary of the story and a list of people who have signed up to the plan. There is even a Campaign Button:

We will not be publishing any fake memos or even any "genuine" ones released as part of some NuLabour spin and disinformation campaign.attempt to "manage" this news story.

Taking a slight break from venting our frustration and anger at NuLabour, we posted a general comment on a blog dicussion thread about Single Issue Campagns, Non Govenmental Organisations and Charities and Political Parties by Tory Convert on the Once More website.

It is one thing to exhort people to try to take an interest in party politics, it is another to blame the public for the missed opportunities for actual year round feeback and discussion which the major political parties websites exhibit.

Does this mean that David Cameron "Blue Labour" supporters, should they ever get into power, will end up with exactly the same "we know best" or "the ends justify the means" attitudes and contempt for the public that NuLabour apparatchiki display ?

Tony Blair and sex slave human trafficking

Tony Blair is quoted in yesterday's Sunday Telegraph about sex slave human trafficking.

Astonishingly he seems to be planning to increase even more the powers of the Police, including the new Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), even before it has swung into action, but he is still failing to sign or ratify the Council for Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking of Human Beings

He told the Sunday Telegraph: “I don’t think you can deal with crime in the way we used to deal with it. Some of these gangs are vicious. We’ve just established the Serious Organised Crime Agency … [but] I am convinced [its] powers are not sufficient. You need to find ways of making their life difficult.

Spy Blog and BlairWatch seem to be the only other people in the British political blogosphere who are interested in this.

The Observer has a couple of reports about NuLabour Minister's family business dealings, and those of ex-Ministers.

There are questions about the business dealings of the husband of Minister for Culture, Media and Sport (and the Olympics) Tessa Jowell, which involved controversial arms sales negotiations with Iran, and the then Foreign Office Minister Baroness Symons in 2002.

Baroness Symons herself is one of the ex-Ministers who is now on the the private sector lobbyist gray train, according to a second story in the Observer. She has now been called back into the most sensitive Government service to negotiate "please promise not to torture these emarassing foreign terrorist suspects so that we can deport them" agrreements with various North African and Middle Eastern police states.

Her various lucrative appointments since the May Election have been approved by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments, but how can the public be sure that her promise not to get directly involved in Government lobbying is true ? How about indirect lobbying, sharing her private list of contact phone numbers and email addresses etc ?

Such questions have to be asked of any former Minister so soon after they have left their Ministerial position of power and influence.

Who is going to check on Tony and Cherie Blair's business contacts after he steps down as Prime Minister ?

The Mial on Sunday apparently reports that Cherie Blair was hobbnobbing with the business people who control the controversial DNA Biosciences company involved in the David Blunkett affair.

David Blunkett has resigned as Secretary of State for the Department of Work and Pensions !

What does this say about Tony Blair's stupid decision to bring Blunkett back into the NuLabour Cabinet ?

How long will Blunkett remain in his £3 million "Grace and Favour" Government owned house in South Eaton Place ?

About this blog

This weblog comments on NuLabour's anti-democratic and authoritarian policies and political manipulation. We will try to deconstruct some of the NuLabour propaganda, disinformation, media spin and leaks.

Nothing has changed with the unelected Gordon Brown, who took over as Labour Party leader from Tony Blair, and became Prime Minister, without being elected, not even by the Labour Party, let alone with a political mandate from a General Election.

Now that there is a Conservative / Liberal Democrat coalition government, this blog will continue to watch out for any NuLabour creepiness and control freakery, attempting to ooze back into political power and influence, under the unpopular Ed Miliband, who personally shares the blame for all of NuLabour / Labour's policies. .

Hints and Tips for Whistleblowers and Political Dissidents

Please take the appropriate precautions if you are planning to blow the whistle on, or even peacefully campaign against, the shadowy and powerful people in Government or commerce, and their dubious policies. The mainstream media and bloggers also need to take simple precautions to help preserve the anonymity of their sources e.g.
