Tony Blair launches most critical attack yet on Jeremy Corbyn over Brexit.

Why, or even how, is Tony Blair still a member of the Labour party? Good party members have been suspended or even expelled from the party for doing or saying less than this former Prime Minister continues to preach to any newspaper or television outlet prepared to give him time and space. In yet another of his never ending interventions in the press this time the Observer followed by an interview with Sophy Ridge on Sky television, he grudgingly concedes that he will vote Labour in the European elections on 23 May, but then goes on to urge Labour supporters put off by the party's "equivocation" to vote for one of the "unequivocal Remain parties" - the Lib Dems, Change UK, Greens, Scottish National Party or Plaid Cymru. He rounds off the extraordinary intervention with his usual attack on Jeremy Corbyn, which of course the Observer and Sky News particularly are always keen to emphasise. Some Labour party MP's will of course, welcome another broadside against Corbyn and some Labour party members will also be lapping up more messages from the man many regard as their messiah. However there are those who recognise and remember the damage that Blair and his small cabal did to the Labour party and find his endless exposure in the press and in the media, as just fodder for those who wish for a return to the "good old days" of Blair, Mandelson, Campbell and Brown.
He should be suspended at least if not expelled as he is bringing the Labour party into disrepute.

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 writing on the wall

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
