George W Bush and Tony Blair must be held to account for feeding the public "a vast tapestry of lies" about the Iraq war, writer Harold Pinter said. The playwright launched a scathing attack on US and UK politicians in his lecture as winner of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature. Most...

So, the Dear Leader has at last lost a parliamentary vote - and by quite a significant margin. For those of you outside the UK wondering what this is all about, check out: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,15935,1638775,00.html The government wanted to allow police to detain...

As I occasionally stumble into the maelstrom that is this forum (usually by accident), I have observed that for Americans, someone is usually prepared to support a major political personality, whichever 'side' they may be on and often with reasonable coherence. I have not seen anyone here jump...

No, I'm not making this up. From this article in the Sunday Times: Of course, no "mass murder of Muslims in Palestine" never occured. Note also that they do not want an additional day for commemorating genocides against Muslims; no, it's the very fact that the jewish holocaust is...

From the Times: Blair promises to deport extremist preachers

Take a look at what Tony Blair has called the "model" for Iraq. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,6903,962905,00.html Since Blair invaded Afghanistan in 2001 it has become the worlds number one producer of heroin. Accounting for approx. 90% of the UK's supply...

Not sure whether to have put this here or Skepticism, but... Watching Tony Blair perform on various news shows, it seems to me that he firmly believes what he's saying about the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, despite having to deny any previous equivocation and say that any evidence to the...

At last P.M. Tony Blair, under pressure, has taken the advice of his deputy, John Prescott and refused to make any sense whatsoever. http://www.ntlworld.com/partners/itn/britain/story1405160.php

This morning on Radio 5 Live (UK) Tony Blair is fielding questions - 9.45 UK time http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/election2005/question_leaders.shtml#blair I cannot phone, but sent in the fiollowing email question: "Considering the significant financial challenges that the NHS faces in staffing...

Quoting Blair, Sept 2002. article What has Blair done to further his mid-east agenda which, according to his own justification for Iraq, "must" occur?

During Prime Minister's Question Time they've asked whether homoeopathic medicine can be used in Totnes medical centre by using the budget from the dentists. Tone, seems to be very supportive of complimentary medicine. Edited to add.... THere's a better thread on it here...

...Clears way for Iranian invasion. ;) Reg. req'd

I hear this alot when talking to Bush supporters. Like Bush is Mr. Integrity-Stick to His Guns- Does what Needs to be Done-Guy. When I think Stand up guy I think of Tony Blair. He faces his nation, defends his decisons, and takes responsibilty. Bush seems to hide from the public and press...

Hahahaha, good job so many mother's sons have lost thier lives, isn't it ?

I recall an impassioned speech Tony Blair made during runup to war. He said he was going to hold US feet to the fire to be a fair broker in the mideast. Bush seems hell-bent on alienating every US ally on the planet. And Blair seems like a phony. newsday

This article was published in the Observer (Sunday paper of the Guardian). It suggests that Tony Blair would prefer anyone but Bush in the White house. I agree that in the current climate pictures of Tony and George together would probably not do Tony any favours over here, but wonder how it...

Story WTF? :confused:

The BBC seems to want to make sure that as many people as possible read the story via BBC news: Source The buy doesn't seem to have gone into effect yet, and there's certainly nothing wrong with this that I can see from a legal perspective (unless someone wants to quote the BBC charter at...

I am much afeared the poor man requires professional help to get over his compulsive lying. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3351915.stm However, when Jonathan Dimbley asked Paul Bremer if this was true he quoth: Bliar Bliar pants on fire!

Just a quick question I read that tony blair has got a new jaguar car. On the features list it says that the Jag can resist a standard NATO hand-grenade. Do terrorists use standard NATO hand-grenades now? I would have thought that it would be easier to use a home-made grenade rather than...

Take a look at picture 4 Oh dear...

I have great respect for Tony Blair. I was watching him on Cspan, taking questions from the Hosue of Commons. First off all I wish Congress worked like that. It was like some crazy press conference where they shot out questions and Tony answered everything thrown at him. Much more fun than...

Why does this guy keep on taking audiences completely made up of people who are already mind-set against military action. He's shooting himself in the foot, we have on TV this morning (repeated continuously) the last 5 seconds of last nights "Blair meets the anti-war ladies" where 3 of the...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2799377.stm Watching politics is becoming a bit like watching a slow-motion car crash. We now have a situation where, in arguably the oldest democracy in the world, Prime Minister Blair seems intent on leading his country into war without the backing of...

Tony Blair states the case for war very well in this speech. Britain has always been a good friend and powerful ally of the United States. JK

I saw Tony Blair live early this morning New York time and his speech was brilliant. You folks in England should be proud if him. He is intelligent, articulate and has a great sense of justice. I wish he could run for president of the US after his run in the UK. His vision of what must be done...
