Stop_Tony_Blair_450.jpg

The anonymous media briefings and spin (e.g. in The Times) have started up again, that somehow, after the Irish referendum vote on the Lisbon Treaty, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair, is somehow set to be appointed as the unelected President of the European Council when the Treaty is ratified.

How likely that Tony Blair will give up his lucrative money making speaking tours and his supposedly high profile international diplomatic role as a Middle East peace envoy ? He benefits financially and prestige wise, with his Office of Tony Blair in the 18th Century John Adams house, number 9 Grosvenor Square, London

This is paid for , to the tune of more than half a million pounds a year for the office rent alone, by the Quartet on the MIddle East i.e. the United States of America, the Russian Federation, the United Nations and the European Union, for some vague, unattainable Peace Envoy role in the Middle East. It is also a prestigious office, near the US Embassy etc. useful for his lucrative speaking tours, investment bank directorships and for his Sports Foundation and Faith Foundation.

None of these activities are compatible with a "President of Europe" role - but desperate, grasping politicians may choose to overlook this.

The European Union faces many big problems in the future, but Tony Blair is part of those problems, not an answer to them.

3) Stop Blair petition

We are not alone in opposing the very idea of Tony Blair being inflicted on UK and European citizens, in a position of power and influence, again, without any democratic mandate whatsoever.

There is a European Union wide petition website, currently with over 34,000 signatures, opposed to such an insulting nomination

The Times has the worrying report that:

'President' Blair waits on voters of Ireland

Philip Webster, David Charter, Roger Boyes and Charles Bremner

Tony Blair is in line to be proclaimed Europe's first president within weeks if the Irish vote "yes" in today's referendum.

Senior British sources have told The Times that President Sarkozy has decided that Mr Blair is the best candidate and that Angela Merkel has softened her opposition.

"Senior British sources" - who exactly ?

The former Prime Minister could be ushered into the European Union's top post at a summit on October 29.

Ms Merkel, the German Chancellor, was opposed to Mr Blair because she believed that the post should go to a country that had adopted the euro but British sources said that she may now be "biddable" if Germany and France get plum posts in the new European Commission.

German sources insisted that it was far from clear that Ms Merkel had changed her mind and there were suggestions in Paris that Mr Sarkozy was happy to be seen to be backing Mr Blair because he knew that Ms Merkel would scupper the appointment.

"German sources" - who exactly ?

Mr Blair, whose claims are being advanced by ministers in London, will not enter the race unless he is certain of winning. He is wary of giving up his many other commitments, spanning business, the Middle East, climate change and his Faith Foundation.

[...]

Which "ministers in London" exactly ?

Tony Blair and his Labour party cronies cannot be trusted to defend our human rights and liberties - they literally practice Orwellian doublethink and newspeak , and are utterly ignorant of high technology and incompetent with basic economics.

He must not be allowed to become the unelected "President of Europe", something which which is felt strongly both by supporters and opponents of the European Union !.

There is a petition, with over 34,000 signatures opposing the idea of Tony Blair becoming the unelected "President of the European Union".

Petition

We, European citizens of all origins and of all political persuasions, wish to express our total opposition to the nomination of Tony Blair to the Presidency of the European Council

Any UK or EU politicians or bureaucrats who propose or support the insulting idea of "President" Blair, especially those who do not sincerely believe in it, but are just trying to score political points of their rivals, should also be punished by the electorate.

The Independent has a report about the shameful incompetence displayed by the NuLabour Government during the UK hosted EU Summit venues in Newport South Wales (Foreign Office) and near Newcastle in the North East (Home Office).

Not content with isolating themselves away from the general public, and by arresting peaceful NO2ID demonstrators before they even got near the Gosforth Park summit venue near Newcastle, to demonnstrate about Charles Clarke's incompetent Biometric Passport and ID Card plans, the NuLabour spin doctors have managed to damage the international repution of the United Kingdom by seriously pissing off the accredited journalists from the foreign press corps, and embarassing the United Kingdom which they are meant to represent in front of other European Union Ministers and diplomats.

"Sir John Grant, the UK's ambassador to the EU, expressed his "wholehearted regret" after poor logistics, heavy-handed security and disastrous IT marred high-profile events.

After two meetings in Britain, the continental media mocked Tony Blair's plea for Europe to compete in the information age, noting the lack of reliable internet access at the UK's gathering.

The failings of the British rail network have also been highlighted and the off-hand treatment of journalists has been portrayed as symbolic of the UK's coolness towards the EU.

Meanwhile, an official complaint has been made to the British embassy in Berlin after a German journalist was barred from a meeting because he asked for an idle X-ray machine to be used to cut waiting time at a security check."

This jobsworth bureacratic security theatre is typical of the attitude promoted by NuLabour - fail to catch or deter any real terrorists, but persecute and harass former friends and neutrals.

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. .
