Tony Blair, in a fit of blatant fascistic self-righteousness decided to demonstrate what a complete toss-pot he is, by giving Peter &#8220;three-times-disgraced&#8221; Mandelson a great new job on the EU gravy-train! Hoorah for over privileged tosspots! They always win! Just look at at John Scarlett. Despite being heavily criticised by the Butler inquiry (because he was clearly bent) he now has a cushy job as head of MI6! Well done that man. Ignore the critics. The fact you are in a position of such power <i>proves<\/i> how right and incorruptable you must be.<br \/>\nRefreshingly, the Tories are still demonstrating how much more odious, corruptable and nasty they are than the new Labour bastards, ensuring they will never get elected.<br \/>\nI swore that Blair would be out within 6 months of the publication of the Hutton report. Looks like I&#8217;m going to be proved wrong&#8230;but maybe only by a couple of months. The Tories hate him, the party hates him&#8230;in fact everyone hates him. Rather than ingraciate himself with people in the UK, he continues to bang on about WMD and then go and give Pete Mandleson loads more pay&#8230;how more insulting can he be to the left in the UK ? Why hasn&#8217;t he been stabbed in the back by every self-respecting member of the cabinet&#8230;after all, he has stabbed them in the back on many occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Thatcher still isn&#8217;t dead, but living in a senile hell. Maybe there <i>is<\/i> some justice in the world. Let them die old, insane and unhappy.
