Faustian Pact
What is truly outrageous about the Blair Government today is that it is manipulated by the eminance gris of Rupert Murdoch. A few months before New Labour was elected in 1997, Blair was invited to attend a meeting of senior executives of Murdoch's News International, publishers in the UK of The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun, News of the World and controlling interest in Sky TV.
Blair sold his soul to the evil one at that meeting. In return for Blair taking a pro-Republican, pro-Neo-Conservative, pro-business deregulation and anti-EU (especially single currencey) line, Blair would receive the full support of the Murdoch media in the UK. The rest, as they say, is history. Some of these demands may have caused Blair a little indigestion, especially the anti-Euro stance. He took some decongestant, and with Gordon Brown concocted the quasi-economic 5 tests for Euro membership, which surprise, surprise, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has recently scored the UK as a "fail".
Blair lives in daily fear of getting the thumbs down from the unspeakable one.
It was not really surprising, when Blair replaced the shambolic John Major, the first thing he did was to visit the toxic Margaret Thatcher, the very one who "de-regulated" sensible legislation that handed the Times, The Sun, Sky, etc. to RM on a plate. (It is still not possible for an equivalent situation to arise in the US.)
And what about the recent row between the Government and the BBC. Not a big surprise that the Murdoch media comes out on the side of the Government, when his low-rent organisation is likely to be the bigest beneficiary of any weakening of the public broadcaster. It is ominous therefore, that Government is making threatening noises about the future of the Governors of the BBC.
So there you have it. A person who is neither a resident nor citizen/subject of the UK, is controlling issues such as Britain invading Iraq and the future of the one world-leading institution in the UK, the BBC.
Nice democracy from the gushing & sermonising Tony Blair!

Blair was given approval to go to war against Iraq, by the UK Parliament on the basis that Sadam had weapons of Mass Destruction, which he could fire within 45 minutes. If Blair exaggerated or lied on this matter, then it is a resigning matter. Where are these WMDs?
I say he should resign and let's get a Prime Minister who is not the poodle of the most craven US Administration ever to see the light of day.
