Blair Witch Project: Blair Tipped For First President Of EU's "New World Order" - Magda Hassan - 06-04-2009
This is bad news. That pathetic excuse for a human being should disappear from public life forever. He has caused enough damage.

Blair steps up fight to be crowned first 'President of EU'
-Mr Brown has accepted that his old rival should be in pole position for the appointment, on the basis that Britain needs to have a key figure in the architecture of the "new world order".
London - Tony Blair has emerged as the leading candidate to become the first permanent president of the European Union after Gordon Brown gave his grudging blessing to the plan. The former prime minister has stepped up his campaign for the job, which he wants to use to build a bridge between Europe and the new Obama administration. His return to the global stage would be a shock to his critics over the Iraq war and dismay many in Europe.
But The Independent on Sunday has learnt that Mr Brown has accepted that his old rival should be in pole position for the appointment, on the basis that Britain needs to have a key figure in the architecture of the "new world order".
A senior British official said: "He [Brown] will have to swallow hard to sit down in meetings once again with Blair. But he accepts that there needs to be someone from the UK in the new global architecture. There is no opposition to the plan. Things have moved on, people have moved on."
Other European leaders are also broadly supportive because they want a high-profile figure to represent the 27-nation bloc in the new alliance with the US administration.
Mr Blair remains a popular figure in the US.
After initially trying to block Mr Blair as a possible candidate last year, the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, has thrown his weight behind the former prime minister.
As the eyes of the world were on London's G20 summit last Wednesday, Mr Blair held private talks with the European Commission President José Manuel Barroso in Brussels. The talks focused on his work as Middle East envoy to the quartet of world powers, but it is almost certain that the two men discussed his candidacy. The former premier also visited Sweden last week, where he shared a platform with Bill Clinton at a climate change conference.
The presidency job is dependant on Ireland voting "yes" to the Lisbon Treaty, which creates the position. The Irish referendum will take place in the autumn.
But Mr Blair's plans could still be scuppered if Angela Merkel loses the German general election in September. She is thought to have a strong desire for the job in the event of defeat.
Britain has already thrown its weight behind Mr Barroso to serve a second term as Commission President. His re-appointment would also strengthen the chances of a British name for the new job.
Mr Blair will have spent two years in the Middle East role by July, giving him a legitimate opportunity to claim he has devoted enough time to the job.
But critics will say Mr Blair has failed to make any significant breakthrough. There is also little chance of progress towards the two-state solution under the new hardline Israeli government led by Binyamin Netanyahu.In a sign that Mr Blair's mind is on an exit from the Middle East, he said in Brussels: "I think the next six months will be completely critical in determining whether this process will move forward or whether it will slip back. I do believe that if there is not significant progress in the year 2009, the peace process will be in very great jeopardy, because there are decisions that have to be taken."

He was a good little soldier and he's being promoted.

This was first seriously mooted in February last year. Then the whole permanent Presidency thing was shelved because the uppity Irish went and voted 'NO' to the new constitution (No one else was allowed a vote of course since the earlier original had been voted down by the French and such an outcome could not be risked again). Anyway, full ratification now being well and truly underway - with Irish somewhat sidelined - it's back on the agenda again.
I did a brief blog on it last year HERE, along with a few others on Blair. The man really is a ghastly creepy con-artist who has mastered the sine-qua-non art of any aspiring Elite-Serving politician - that of deception/fraud - eliciting trust whilst systematically betraying it. He has lately taken to lecturing the great unwashed on theology, of all things, following his embrace of Roman Catholicism - it really is puke-inducing stuff. He is one of very few 'celebrities' that I simply CANNOT bear to watch or listen to for fear of either being sick or smashing the set. The fact that he is - quite genuinely - held in high esteem by so many people makes me despair for the future of the human race - 'Peace Envoy' to the Middle East ??? !!! - Christ the man is a bloody war criminal. Talk about a looking glass world.
There was an EU petition started last year which is still active and which is probably worth signing. It's linked from my blogpost.

Peter, I can see we are of like minds on this creature. I too want to be sick or throw something every time his smarmy sanctimonious face appears. I cannot see why he is held in such high esteem when he should be held in custody and contempt. At least in Catholic land there is a place made for people just like him and I hope he rots in hell forever. No one deserves it more. Well, may be one or two but not many. He is truly vile.
As for the Lisbon treaty I am still trying to see why it was that the Irish got a vote at all. Why was that Peter? I can see that they didn't vote correctly and it will likely be rammed down their throats but why the option or at least facade of choice? EU politics isn't always on my radar as I don't live there. Seems to me anyway that the EU is dead in the water and they just want to be NATOland.

As I understand it there was indeed a lot of arm-twisting by the European Commission Goons to try to prevent a referendum in Ireland. However, it appears that the Irish Constitution itself won the day in that it was accepted that ratification of the Lisbon Treaty would require an Irish Constitutional amendment and ANY such amendment requires a referendum. All the main Irish political parties campaigned for a 'YES' vote but were snubbed.
So - they're just going to have to keep at it until they vote the RIGHT way eh? It's what passes for 'Democracy' in Euroland these days and it stinks to high heaven.

Probably the worst thing I've ever done in my life was vote for him in '97 (in my defence I was 20 years old, and sick to tears after a lifetime of Tory rule)

Ah ha! So you're the one :burnout:
I'm sure that there were millions who did the same Damien. The old good cop bad cop routine. Blair had such a huge majority when he took over. He could have done anything he wanted and he did nothing for the people of the UK. Just like Obama will do nothing for the people of the US. Just delivered them to indentured servitude for all eternity.

Blair should fuck off! and die in pitiful shame somewhere.

But he won't. His creepy, grinning visage and sanctimonious, self-promoting, road-to-hell-paved-with-his 'honest-to-God' good-intentions, hectoring, whining, 'I'm a regular kinda guy', me,me,me,me voice will continue to plague us. A sort of divine retribution for having voted him into office in three successive general elections. We get the 'Leaders' we deserve you see.

I need to enter some caveats before coming to the point of this post.
Back in 1977 at the tender age of 16, William Hague made a much celebrated speech to the Tory Party Conderence. I remember it vividly because, for my sins and in my then ambitious credulous naivety, I too made a speech to that conference. It was on 'defence' and, unlike the then unruly flaxen-haired Hague, I am embarrassed :embarassed: - not to say ashamed
tupido: - to recall its contents. For reasons obvious to most members of this forum, I no longer have any truck with Mainstream Party politics but, largely because of that event, I have followed William Hague's progress quite closely. As a House of Commons Dispatch Box performer, he really is rather good and can be very entertaining indeed.
This clip is a hilarious demolition of both Gordon Brown and Tony Blair over the latter's proposed nomination for EU President (once the Irish have been made to vote the right way of course). He is a true master of humorous ridicule demolition jobs.
Enjoy
