Tony Blair has managed to degrade all values dear to Parliament. His conduct towards the Commons was utterly cynical and his behavior over Abu Ghraib lack in all decency or morality.

While
Tony Blair was PM, the Government put a ban on all tobacco advertising. All
tobacco advertising, except that of a very rich man. We talk of BernieEcclestone, the man who makes millions each year from Formula 1 motor sports.
The PM declared to Parliament that the exclusion of Formula 1 sports events
from the ban had been done through normal Whitehall processes. In reality, the
decision was taken by Blair himself only hours after meeting Ecclestone in
10 Downing Street.
In May
2004, leaked documents and shocking photographic evidence exposed the
nauseating practices of maltreatment commonly used by U.S. personnel on Iraqi
prisoners. Abu Ghraib has become a name of shame, and nobody will ever trust a
United States Government again after that. These atrocities have put a further
fatal taint on all US troops after the Vietnam War and many more crimes against
civilians and prisoners.
After
the international outcry over this barbarism, Tony Blair played the dumb
coxcomb he is and pretended not to know anything. ‘It is not correct that
ministers or I were aware of those allegations in respect of American troops.’
This statement was never corrected.
Now,
Bill Rammel, who was a Junior Foreign Office minister at that time, has issued
a statement to the effect that he had been briefed by the President of the
International Committee of the Red Cross during a meeting in Geneva taking
place seven weeks before the PM made the above statement to the Commons. He
further stated that he convened an emergency meeting of Foreign Office
officials immediately and was assured there that defense ministers were aware
of the fact and had taken steps.
This
goes to show, Tony Blair is not only a war criminal, but also a liar. He has
actively demoted the post of Prime Minister to that of menial helper of a war
crazed chimpanzee. This makes the eulogy by Adam Boulton even more sickening
than it already is. Read my review on ‘Memoirs of the Blair Administration’ here.
As every
politician is hankering after the post of PM (for Prime Minister) all his life,
all his life is spent in training to be PM (for Principally Mendacious).
