Like I said, society's owners, the super-rich.
You think these people are inviting someone like Peter Mandelson to spend time with them on the Med for the pure pleasure of his company?
And do you think if Mandelson wasn't talking to these people he'd have otherwise managed 2 scandalous resignations/comebacks then a third, and have become a Lord, European Trade Commissioner, President of the Board of Trade etc?

Would Galloway have survived that? No.
And Galloway would be much more interesting company for anyone. Even Wildcat and Pardalis.

You know, one of the good things about the inevitability of old age, sickness and death is that it prevents bastages like Mandelson from pursuing their exploitative course of self-glorification ad infinitum.
The reincarnation system is well designed, methinks.
Nice one, God.

Probably. Mandelson is A) Smart and B) Useful. Mandelson's political skills are far more useful than his connections. The Lord think was just to allow him into the cabinet. European X Commissioner is a classic job for politicians the goverment think are competent but are too much of a liability at home.

Galloway wasn't politicaly useful so no reason for him to do so.

And Galloway would be much more interesting company for anyone. Even Wildcat and Pardalis.

He's rather predictable though.

Personally, I think the demonstrators chose the correct level of violence for the circumstances.

The shoes, especially, are a good way to express solidarity with Iraqis. Hopefully, being pelted with them and eggs, wherever he goes, will become Blair's new trade mark.

Ideally, of course, he would be detained and tried but...

Thanks for the links. I read the first but it made me violently sick so haven't faced the others yet.

Fare enough jane, maybe they should have had the book signing in Baghdad
then.
 
Shoeing Blair is better for the resistance than dispatching him via mass murder.

So you call for the terrorist murder of Tony Blair and anyone who happens to be standing near him? Disgusting.

Oh, wait a second, you're that guy who thinks Zionism is going to destroy the planet. Carry on.

Hey it's Ireland. At least it would be a novel reason for people being blown up.

Wow. Deranged much?



I can only say that this detached Yank's impression was always a pretty favorable one of Tony. Not much has changed since.
