Another intervention from Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (call me Tony)


Brexit followed by Corbyn in No 10 would put UK flat on its back. says Tony Blair

With monotonous regularity, Tony Blair ventures forth onto the political scene, this time through a lengthy article released by his own political institute, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.
(Are the mainstream media becoming so fed up with Blair interventions that he has to now rely on his own propaganda machine?)

dedicated to making globalisation work for the many, not the few.  
It never ceases to amaze me that if he is so undoubting of his own interpretation and understanding of this and all the other issues where he consistently makes interventions, why does Blair not have the backbone to formally create and launch his own political party? It is reported that he has substantial finacial backing from anonymous sources, plus his own £ millions accumulated since his time in office. There is also much speculation that Blair has many supporters within the Labour party, though perhaps not as many as Blair would like to believe and certainly fewer than some elements of the media have been suggesting over recent months.
Blair and his regular contrived interventions, are becoming something like a fly managing to avoid the fly swat, more of an irritant than a relief. Interventions which repeatedly only bring into question his motivation and his credibility.
If he so passionately beleives that only he has the solutions to our problems, arguing, as he does, that a deeply divided country needs a fundamental rethink of its political ideas, he should "get off the fence" and do something to put his plans into effect.
Or perhaps it is that Blair is not as popular as Blair thinks he is.

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

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
