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.

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...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

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 ...
