“WE CAN’T GO ON LIKE THIS…”
So goes Dave’s election campaign catchy bit.
Not quite “Labour isn’t working”
Nor even “Things can only get better”
Things can only get ...
But if you think “we can’t go on like this” sounds familiar, you’re right. Click here
THE BLACK ARTS of SUBLIMINAL SUGGESTION
Might it be going too far to suggest that this slogan is a Tory tactic meant to remind people of the country’s favourite villain (and my favourite politician)?
You see, it’s supposed to ring that bell. It’s a version of subliminal suggestion. The Tories may not be as lacking in the dark arts of political machinations as they’d like to have us believe.
In February 2007, on Radio 4’s “Today” John Humphrys interviewed Tony Blair when the PM was in the middle of the endless, suffocating and destructive Honours debacle. Of course, nothing ever came of that particular waste of time, effort and money. Like the Iraq Inquiry, I predict.
But there are other similarities in that interview on an Inquiry which might just chime to negative effect with today’s ongoing Inquiry. All subliminal (dis)placement.
February 2007, Interview of Tony Blair:
Humphrys: “We can’t go like this, can we?”
Blair: “We can’t go on in what sense?
Humphrys: “This inquiry. It’s doing damage isn’t it?”
Blair: “Well, I think it’s got to run its course, erm… over the next few weeks … I hope it’ll be wound up and then let’s see where we are then. And in the meantime, despite what people may think … erm … I get on with the job.
Humphrys: “You may get on with the job but it’s doing damage isn’t it, that’s the point.”
Blair: “Well, I think the most sensible thing is actually to wait and see what the Inquiry comes up with and, you know, we won’t have a great deal longer to wait.”
Bell ringing?
Ding-dong.
More from my report here of Blair’s 27 minutes interview by Humphrys:
Friday 2nd February, 2007
“I’m not going to beg for my character (short video/audio report) … pleading for my integrity” – PM
The Prime Minister spoke to John Humphrys (full interview) on the Today programme this morning. He denied that he was being distracted from his work by the honours inquiry but admitted there were issues raised by the ongoing police inquiry and the media handling of it.
Asked why he did not just hand over to Gordon Brown, Mr Blair said it would be “particularly wrong” for him to step down before the cash-for-honours inquiry had run its course, despite fears it was damaging his government. He pointed out that standing down under this pressure and letting Gordon Brown take over would be “not a very democratic way to decide who should be prime minister”.
“So, you’ll have to put up with me for a bit longer.”
When reminded of his “pretty straight sort of guy” claim, ten years ago, the prime minister brushed off claims that voters now saw him as fundamentally dishonest. But he insisted, “I’m not going to beg for my character in front of anyone … I’m not going to get into a situation where I’m sort of pleading for my integrity, not even in front of the British people.”

‘HELP’ or “Are there NO good slogans left any more?” or “RIGHT! Even if it means attacking my hero Tony, and making him the fall guy for Brown, let’s do it. We certainly serpently must.”
You choose.
In the meantime, we can’t go on like this. Not for months, and months and boring, boring months.

Out of time: Radical Islam Taking Over Europe & West
Report from Dale Hurd, CBN News, October 10th 2007
Great news clip on islamisation of Europe. If these statistics don’t wake you up, I don’t know what will. Radical Islam is a grave threat to Europe, there is no denying this. Europe as we know it will be taken by Muslims within the next 100 years. It’s time we stop being politically correct with Islam and confront it for what it is.
This is what Muslim children are taught in Britain, (9th July 2008)
Muslim children taught Jews are apes and Christians are pigs. Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight asks this Muslim ‘educationalist’ if she will withdraw these books from the school. NO.
England has fallen to Islam (Ian Woods, Sky News, 24th June 2008)
The left-wing of Britain have successfully destroyed the future of UK. But that was what they had planned all along. People from the left-wing simply just hate people. They want to destroy all civilisation, so that the animals can have this planet for them selves.

Julie has just published this:
“German Generalbundesanwaltschaft rejects complaint against Tony Blair for war crimes
This comes as no surprise to me, since Tony Blair is -of course- INNOCENT.
Back in August 2009, a German peace group called Iserlohner FriedensPlenum issued a complaint against him for crimes against humanity under the German code of crimes against International law in relation to the invasion of Iraq.
As I argued in my Blairdoyer, this is just wrong and the war against Iraq legally sound. International law has not been violated. Resolutions 660, 678, 687, 1137 and 1441 provided the legal bases.
You can read the respective press release of the FriedensPlenum here
Anzeige gegen Tony Blair wegen Kriegsverbrechen erstattet
Heute hat John Bell vom FriedensPlenum Iserlohn Anzeige gegen Anthony Charles Lyton Blair in seiner Funktion als früherer Britischer Premierminister bei der Staatsanwaltschaft Hagen wegen Verstosses gegen das Völkerstrafgesetzbuch § 1, 7 Abschnitt 1 Nr. 1 und § 12 im Zusammenhang mit dem Krieg gegen den Irak und die sich anschliessende Besetzung erstattet.
Die Friedensgruppe wirft ihm als ehemaligem Regierungschef von Grossbritannien die systematische Planung und Vorbereitung eines völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieges vor. Bei diesem Krieg und der anschliessenden Besetzung, welche nicht durch ein UN-Mandat legitimiert sind, wurden zehntausende von Zivilisten getötet. Ausserdem wurden Munition mit abgereichertem Uran und Clusterbomben eingesetzt, die ganze Landstriche langfristig verseuchen und Missbildungen und Verstümmlungen verursachen. Aus diesen Gründen betrachtet das FriedensPlenum Iserlohn Tony Blair als Kriegsverbrecher.
Das FriedensPlenum hat die Strafverfolgungsbehörden aufgefordert, Tony Blair festzunehmen, da er sich am 04. September 2009 als Redner einer Veranstaltung einer privaten Hochschule in Iserlohn aufhält. Da es sich um einen privaten Auftritt handelt, geniesst er keine diplomatische Immunität. Ausserdem besteht Fluchtgefahr, da er das Territorium der Bundesrepublik Deutschland schnell wieder verlassen wird.
—————————————-
You can read the full complaint here. You definitely have to read it. It’s quite funny in a way, since our peace buddies had some difficulties with Tony’s name. Not that you could think they would at least get the the name of the defendant right, eh?
A few minutes ago, Jack High was kind enough to inform me that all charges against Tony Blair have been dropped by the Bundesstaatsanwaltschaft.
Here is their official response:

Aktenzeichen

Datum
18. November 2009
Betrifft: Ihre Strafanzeige vom 28. August 2009
Sehr geehrter Herr Bell,
Ihre Strafanzeige vom 28. August 2009 wurde geprüft. Von der Einleitung eines Ermittlungsverfahrens wird jedoch gemäß § 152 Abs. 2 StPO abgesehen. Es liegen keine zureichenden tatsächlichen Anhaltspunkte für eine Straftat nach dem Völkerstrafgesetzbuch vor.
Zum einen bestehen keine konkreten Tatsachen, die belegen, dass der frühere Premierminister des Vereinigten Königreiches, Tony Blair, vorsätzlich einen Angriff gegen Personen, die sich durch ihre Wehrlosigkeit gegenüber staatlicher, militärischer oder sonst organisierter Gewalt auszeichneten, wegen ihrer Zugehörigkeit zum irakischen Staatsvolk und somit einen Angriff gegen eine Zivilbevölkerung im Sinne des § 7 Abs. 1 VStGB befahl oder die Verwendung von Streumunition anordnete, um – unter Vernachlässigung des militärischen Nutzens – vorrangig eine Schädigung der Zivilbevölkerung herbeizuführen.
Zum anderen liegt die primäre Waffeneigenschaft der uranummantelten Munition nicht in ihrer etwaigen Toxität oder in ihren giftigen (Neben-)Wirkungen, sondern in der Höhe ihrer Durchschlagskraft, so dass diese Waffe nicht die Voraussetzungen von § 12 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 oder 2 VStGB erfüllt.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Im Auftrag
Dr. Haarhuis

What a surprise-NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in the Hague has already made it clear that Tony Blair or the UK government will never face charges.
The anti-war-brigade should thus stop wasting their time and the time of others. I trust the German Generalbundesanwaltschaft has better things to do. For example charging criminals.”
Thank you, Julie.

Genocide: “Scream Bloody Murder”. Amanpour Reports.
January 4, 2010 by keeptonyblairforpmComment at end
4th January, 2010
RECOGNISING, IDENTIFYING AND ACTING ON GENOCIDE
If we in the west had been able to work together through the United Nations or some other body (get us one, please ASAP) we might have been able to stop these genocides decades ago.
For various complex and political reasons even the American government has been unwilling or unable to act when it should have done. Reagan said NO, Clinton was SLOW.
The leftie liberals ignorant of ALL of this – those who scream that Bush & Blair are war criminals - need to understand WHAT has been happening in this world while WE CHOSE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY.
For such as these loons, the moment a western power ACTS its leaders, particularly ours here in Britain, are vilified for “war crimes”.
Meanwhile the REAL criminals, and there are many more than are shown here below, answer to no-one. Not, it seems, until we find another Blair or even Bush.
That’ll be never, then.
This is a series of 14 videos, which can all be seen from the “Ignored Voices” YouTube Channel here. I have selected just a few, below, to provide a flavour of how DICTATORS and evil, murderous leaders have been getting away with GENOCIDE for decades.

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4vI18HJM2o]
On “Scream Bloody Murder,” Christiane Amanpour takes up perhaps the hardest subject of all: genocide. In the two-hour documentary, she examines how the world has fallen short of stopping genocide since the Holocaust.
The program looks at atrocities in Cambodia, Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur. Amanpour balances the horror by focusing on stirring figures who spoke out — and spotlighting the way the Internet is changing the way the world responds. The program is timely: President-elect Barack Obama’s choice for United Nations ambassador, Susan Rice, is a fierce advocate for taking action against genocide.
A highlight is Amanpour challenging President Bill Clinton on “constant flip-flops” on Bosnia. He was furious, and that’s the point. “Scream Bloody Murder” is about speaking truth to power. And Amanpour’s stirring, instructive style is the main reason to enrol in this difficult history course.
LEMKIN: “The impression of a tremendous conspiracy of silence poisoned the air. A double murder was taking place. It was the murder of the truth”.
In 1948 the Genocide Convention became law and it required nations to act to stop genocide. But we did NOT act on it.

Two Royal Stories – Princes Charles & William
January 3, 2010 by keeptonyblairforpmComment at end
3rd January, 2010
Updates, 5th Jan – Just HAD to add this picture of our Great Heir/Reaper to the Throne. Don’t ask me! Ask them! And according to The Express, the story is “nonsense” anyway. So don’t bother to read any of the below, because…
‘Paddy Harverson, Prince Charles’s communications secretary denied claims that Charles had waged a campaign against the 2003 invasion. “The story is nonsense,” he said. “How can it be true when it is based on hearsay?”’
What? But Tony Blair is GUILTY, isn’t he? All based on hearsay. Ask the press, the great keeper of the ‘troof’.
Prince Charles and straw hat paying due homage to ... oh, I give up! He looks more kindly on that piece of wood than he does on his 'political enemy' in the picture beow. We, the people... we will remember ...
Back to where we were -
Coincidental? Or trouble at ‘ mill?
OUTRAGEOUS
PRINCE Charles was so convinced Tony Blair was WRONG to take Britain to war in Iraq he broke Royal tradition and actively campaigned against the invasion, the News of the World can reveal.
Behind closed doors, the heir to the throne voiced his fears to senior politicians and mounted a staunch anti-war crusade.
If looks could kill...? Prince Charles and ("our glorious leader") Tony Blair . WHO has the power?Who SHOULD have the power?
Story source – News of the World
Prince Charles, it seems, and this doesn’t surprise me, did NOT agree with Tony Blair on the Iraq invasion. In fact he tried to stop the war!
What? An interfering heir to the throne? Just as well HE’S not yet constitutionally Head of the Armed Forces. Hopefully, he never will be.
NOT ‘DEFENDER OF THE FAITH’, LIKE THE QUEEN, BUT SOON TO BE “DEFENDER OF FAITH“
What utter codswallop!
This ‘Defender of Faith’, his new, hoped-for title, if and when he becomes king (LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!) means that such as me will NOT be under his ‘defence’. I do not subscribe to a religious faith, but only to my country’s Christian liberal secularism. The Queen DOES speak for me. She continues to uphold hard-fought traditions of liberal British democracy, even though nominally “defending” the Church of England. She does NOT feel the need to stretch out to “defend” incomers’ faiths, changing our unwritten constitution in the process, although she has been monarch since the early 1950s when immigration began seriously.
Thus, another reason I have faith in OUR form of democracy. An elected political leader and government – OF the people, FOR the people, BY the people – and removable democratically BY the people, will always be those in whom I invest my trust.
I did not, as it happens, vote for the present government. That is not an issue for me. Their election was democratically mandated in the way it has always been in Britain. But I most certainly did NOT vote for the monarchy. None of us did. The monarchy still has its place, and the Queen has been the perfect example of its place. It is not Prince Charles’s place to try to overturn the elected government’s position on war or, to be frank, on any other issue, lobby as he might.
Peaceniks may cheer at Charles’s position. They would not cheer so loudly if it had been the opposite position and he was a monarch with many decades to reign and this kind of political interference as a legacy.
I find Charles’s ‘defender’ re-writing utterly objectionable, even treacherous. I also find his interference over a political decision, even failing as it ultimately did, equally offensive.
So, Your Highness, please go practise your form of ‘defence’ elsewhere and do take your little tools for the wreckage of the British constitution with you, kind Sir. I am suddenly cooling substantially in my support for the monarchy.
I can just hear Charles now in the parlour with Ma & Pa:
‘Great-great-great-grandpapa had the answer, Mother! “Off with his head”, he’d have said, faced with such a bally decision from an upstart of a “glorious leader” like that Blair man. I tell you, it’s a disgrace, Papa! Who does he think he is? An elected representative of the people or something?’
A MONARCH BEHEADED MY FAMILY NAMESAKE
Perhaps I am being over-sensitive. I have some personal, perhaps familial sympathy with this Scottish politician, Archibald, 9th Earl of Argyll who was executed in 1685 by a displeased monarch. The monarch who beheaded Campbell AND his father the Marquess of Argyll was James II/VII (England/Scotland.)
James is best known for his belief in absolute monarchy and his attempts to create religious liberty for his subjects. Both of these went against the wishes of the English Parliament and of most of his subjects. Parliament, opposed to the growth of absolutism that was occurring in other European countries, as well as to the loss of legal supremacy for the Church of England, saw their opposition as a way to preserve what they regarded as traditional English liberties. This tension made James’s four-year reign a struggle for supremacy between the English Parliament and the Crown, resulting in his deposition, the passage of the English Bill of Rights, and the Hanoverian succession.
PRINCE WHO?
Prince Charles’s name when/if he takes the throne is still hotly debated. Kings Charles have NOT had a happy history in this country. I have heard the suggestion that Prince Charles may take the name of “James”. Hmmm… will he refer to the Bible – the King James (1st) version – as his moral compass?
The convention that the monarch “asks” a politician to become Prime Minister following an election might stretch the meaning of the word “ask”. In a hung parliament situation would Charles prefer a Liberal Democrat PM, for political reasons, rather than one from one of the other main parties? These concerns need to be addressed prior to his becoming king. (See Monarchy)
A LOOMING CONSTITUTIONAL CIRISIS AND A POLITICALLY ACTIVE KING?
Prince Charles, although admired for his environmental concerns is treading on dangerous ground.
Since the reign of James’ successor, William of Orange, there has been detachment of political influence from government. We recognise no “divine right of kings” to impart their wisdom to the elected politicians, expecting a positive response (See Independent and The Guardian.)
Independent, excerpt:
‘When he becomes King, Prince Charles could well cause a constitutional crisis. For he is likely to find irksome the convention that the sovereign must act on the advice of ministers alone. This doctrine is at the heart of Britain’s uncodified constitution.
What gives rise to these doubts is the regular bombardment of memos and letters to which the Prince subjects government ministers. These cover issues close to his heart such as the built environment, architecture, housing, agriculture and the protection of the environment.’
WILLIAM – MONARCH BUT ONE?
Meanwhile, at The Telegraph, Charles’s son, Prince William (and with a bit of luck the next reigning monarch) says he is NOT about to become “shadow king”.
Prince William, RAF pilot training
The spokesman for St James’s Palace told The Sunday Telegraph: “Prince William will not be a ’shadow king’ – the possibility is not even being considered. Over the next few years, Prince William will be concentrating primarily on a military career while also slightly increasing his [charity] patronages and the other interests that he pursues.”
Who am I to suggest that the Royal family may be split on the justification, need or success of the Iraq campaign? William and his brother have been involved recently in the Middle East arena, William, for obvious reasons remaining at home, disappointed by all reports, while his younger brother Harry tasted real action. See – ‘The Regal has landed: Harry’s home from Afghanistan’
Who am I indeed?

‘Seize the Day’, Brown’s Virtual Assassins Urge Mandelson
January 3, 2010 by keeptonyblairforpmComment at end
3rd January, 2010
VIRTUALLY A VIRTUAL PRIME MINISTER
It’s in the Daily MAUL, so treat with due diligence.
But it seems there is an updated version of the Let’s Get Rid of Gordon game. It was this year’s Christmas fave rave – commonly known as WII …WEE……..
You remember? You just stand there swinging your arms around, walloping away at a virtual thing and if you’re lucky and your aim is good another virtual thing virtually falls over. You have to spend some time looking like a virtual wally, in front of a screen, but it’s all worth it in the end. Nothing is so potentially, virtually rewarding as serving, putting, bowling, getting fit or practising the black arts for your country.
Well, the usual suspects had just such a swingalong-a-party inside the Once Virtual Winning Machine, at the Once Labour Party pre-Christmas party. There was Charles Clarke, brewing his dark force up into something pretty, er … dark. Then there was former minister Malcolm Wicks, swinging for England with a force to rival that of the (fallen from) greatest of them all, the Tiger. Then there was … well, I’ve got a bit of a blankety blank on the others. But virtually EVERYONE who was ANYONE … wasn’t there.
The MAUL continues seizing the day:
Greg Pope: ‘We look to the de facto Deputy Prime Minister to tell him the harsh truths. Carpe diem, Lord Mandelson,’ he added.
The opening shots were fired on Wednesday by Mr Clarke when he urged senior Labour figures to find their ‘killer instinct’ and unseat Mr Brown.
On Thursday, Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman added to the campaign by declaring that ‘now is the time for those around [Brown] to convince him that it is time for him to make way for a new leader’.
He was followed a few hours later by former whip Greg Pope, who described the Prime Minister as ‘disastrously’ unpopular.
One of those invited to Mr Clarke’s party said: ‘Charles was very upbeat – he told us not to “lose hope” about getting rid of the Prime Minister before it was too late.’
Another source among the rebels said: ‘Everyone knows this is our last chance before the Election. You will see others coming out over the next week to say we’d be better off without Mr Brown. Gordon is the millstone round our necks.’
Mr Pope urged Lord Mandelson to tell Mr Brown to stand down. He said that ‘almost any of the senior figures in our party would seriously narrow the gap with the Tories’ if they replaced Mr Brown this month.
‘We look to the de facto Deputy Prime Minister to tell him the harsh truths. Carpe diem, Lord Mandelson,’ he added.
THE FEARLESS FIVE! – Or – ENID BLYTON STRIKES AGAIN!
Last week, The Mail on Sunday revealed that Jack Straw is leading five rebel Cabinet Ministers – known as ‘the fearless five’ – who want Mr Brown to step down before the General Election, which must be held by June.
The others are Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman, Chancellor Alistair Darling, Foreign Secretary David Miliband and Home Secretary Alan Johnson.
Last night, a leading rebel claimed Ms Harman was pursuing ‘a particularly active role in taking soundings’.
Meanwhile Gordon, who’s an old hand at this virtual stuff, is just getting on with the job. Following the failed terror attack in a plane over Detroit, Britain and the USA have agreed to fund a counter-terrorism campaign in Yemen. Who said Brown didn’t have the populist touch?
Btw, what’s Mandelson up to these days?
Anyone know?
Just asking.
