[…] a ‘parliamentary fellow’). There is also a section (pp. 336-7) on his attendance at the 1995 Bilderberg conference. Of this he writes: ‘I am sent by the Blair office as none of the front-line Labour spokesmen can go’. Oddly or not Bilderberg is not in the index. Generalissimo Somehow it was terribly […]
[…] history, but the retelling of fragments of imperial history ranging from the Jamaican and Indian rebellions through the Palestine revolt, Mau Mau and Suez to the Bush- Blair alliance of our own time. It’s a very useful short antidote to the well-publicised sweep of Niall Ferguson. The telegenic Harvard academic tells us of his […]
[…] disappear. In ours he is simply being kept down. Robert Henderson is being harassed now because he made a fuss at being harassed in 1997 by Tony Blair and his circle. In effect, he is now being harassed because he is being a bloody nuisance to the powers-that-be. Happily, as a retired Inland Revenue […]
[…] the island’s productive resources be abandoned. I think Labour’s leaders have got it completely wrong and however they think of themselves, history will judge that the Brown- Blair faction was merely the ultimate triumph of the ideology of the City over the rest of us; and, let us hope, the last dribble of Thatcherism […]
[…] Presswise is a charity which primarily exists to represent the interests of those abused by the Press. Their Web site now contains details of the Robert Henderson/ Blair Scandal. The details can be found by going from the Presswise Home Page (www.presswise.org.uk/) to either ‘Mediation’ and then ‘complaining to regulators’, or via ‘Briefings’ and […]
[…] Justin Raimondo assembles some respectable sources on this at Bliar: didn’t have room to mention in the last issue The Spectator’s Peter Oborne’s splendid attack on Tony Blair for ‘the politicisation of terror’. (If anything, this is even more apposite now than it was then.) There was a Channel 4 TV programme and a […]
[…] and Trilateral Commission, Trilateralism (ed. Holly Sklar), which I had assumed was long out of print. Price is £15.95 plus 10% for postage. With Bilderberg guest Tony Blair in office, it is hard to imagine a more important single volume. Meanwhile, back on Planet Weird, is Newspeak, ‘a guide to alternative information’. Like Flatland, […]
[…] Armani-clad ‘blue skies thinking’ ex-head of the BBC renowned for his unfathomable managerial gobbledygook (regularly reproduced in the pages of Private Eye). His ennoblement by the Revd. Blair is widely seen as a result of his friendship with Peter Mandelson, a former colleague at London Weekend Television.Here’s a bit of Birt biog that may […]
[…] Tussaud’s depiction of the Nativity, December 2004. This was, in media terms, a classic ‘spoiler’. Hypocrisy, however, is rampant: so far as I am aware, Prime Minister Blair, in Palestine at the same time, did not, in public at least, mention the plight of Bethlehem or the Church of the Nativity. Endorsement: possibly because […]
[…] a selection from the Socialist Workers’ Party’s publications. The subject matter ranges from major pieces about Lockerbie and Colin Wallace, a collection of savage attacks on the Blair crew, through individual scandals (notably his brilliant assault on Jeffrey Archer in the Evening Standard and his account of the destruction of the Daily Mirror) to […]
