[…] has omitted too much, too obviously. Notes 1 Co-author of CIA and the Labour Movement (Nottingham: Spokesman, 1977) and pioneer in the exposure of IRD’s role in post-war politics. 2 He is currently writing a splendid column in Tribune in which his rhetorical powers are regularly trained on Tony Blair et al to great effect.
[…] London’s Guildhall in March 2008. On the Goldsmiths, see the article by Simon Matthews in Lobster 55 (2008), pp. 32-36. Noble’s book is Notes From the Old Blair and Bush, 2008, under the pseudonym Ernest Organic. It perhaps has a psychological parallel in the work of Jung, where the potentially threatening dark confusion of […]
[…] idea was first put forth by New Yorker, a champion of the U.S. mall culture. The U.S. militia ‘right’ certainly would recognize the whole process of Tony Blair abandoning British self-interest to dimly understood international investment banking conspirators. I wonder, however, if the militias or their ‘left’ counterparts really see the rather old assumptions […]
[…] up by BBC news. Louisa Garrett was seen on TV claiming that she ‘doesn’t really know’ who she voted for, but that she had ‘voted for Tony Blair and then put him to bed’. In actual fact, she had signed away her vote to the brother of a local Conservative party worker. This was […]
[…] and father-in-law of Roger Liddell, the SDP founder member and lifelong pal of Peter Mandelson, who became adviser on Europe and defence at No 10 when Tony Blair became Prime Minister.

Wheeler, ‘The Blair doctrine: advancing the Third Way in the world’ conclude (p. 74): ‘The good intentions of assisting the independence of the East Timorese have been undermined completely […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] 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, […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] 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.
