Special Adviser to President Trump or "filling a hole" in British politics?



Tony Blair is positioning himself to return to British politics,

The British press or at least sections of it, seem to have a morbid fascination with Anthony Charles Lynton "Tony" Blair.
In the Express today (20th November 2016) there is a story that Blair could become an adviser to President elect Trump after speculation that the schmoozing former Labour leader might be fishing for a role in Trump's team. Admittedly, Blair's aides have rubbished claims that he’s vying for an advisory role in Donald Trump’s administration, blasting such rumours as “complete nonsense”.
However, with Blair's record of political opportunism and the delusion of his own importance, we never know where this martinet may materialise next.

On the other hand, perhaps it may be that the story in today’s Sunday Times that could herald the return of Blair to British politics, to play a pivotal role in shaping Britain’s Brexit deal by scouting out a power base in Westminster. It seems that the former prime minister is setting up an institute close to Whitehall and has held talks with senior ministers and officials as he seeks to re-enter British politics.
Describing Theresa May as a "lightweight" and Jeremy Corbyn as a "nutter", Blair once again reveals himself as the saviour of Britain in the face of impending catastrophe and also confirms that his megalomania has not improved.

Either of these two diametrically opposed possibilities with no doubt more to come over the next months and years, are as perverse as they are absurd. The almost constant media obsession with the former Prime Minster, or the continual conjecture as to what Blair may or may not do next, implies that he has some contribution to make and moreover that the British public are waiting with bated breath for the next epistle to be handed down from the Blair office. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are no doubt a few intractable followers of the self styled "messiah" of politics who believe that Blair and his teachings are the solution to all and every problem facing not only the United Kingdom, but of the whole world. Fortunately, these people are slowly declining in numbers as the damaged caused by his self serving actions, particularly over the years since his resignation from the Premiership, are recognised.
Blair is a discredited and duplicitous politician and the sooner the British media accept that reality and desist from giving column inches to his every utterance, the better.

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...
