On Tony B. Liar
John Tyndall, in the highly controversial "Spearhead" said :Let the last word go to "Taki" in The Spectator (January 12th):-
‘Although he's hardly my favourite character, I'm seriously worried about Tony Blair. I feel he's in the middle of a nervous breakdown. As a peacemaker in India, covered by a rug, looking campy and resembling a dipsophobe who has walked into a friendly pub, Blair has to have lost it. No other explanation will do. He's always been smarmy and bogus, but this time he brought to mind a catamite in satyromaniacal ecstasy. Non-stop photo opportunities have done to Tony what cocaine and smack did to the late Lord Bristol. The man is a human wreck but he doesn't know it, as desperate for a TV-camera fix as any junkie, and only a palace coup can save him from a Flying Dutchman existence.
‘This must have been the most absurd foreign trip by a British prime minister since Munich, where at least precious time was bought. A prime minister desperately in search of a cause outside his own country can be a very funny thing - for a soap opera. In real life it is quite grotesque.’
IMO: Recent pictures of Bliar have shown him looking, shall we say, haggard. Taki is, some people allege, some kind of wealthy junkie and cokehead. Be that as it may, and I certainly would not venture a opinion at this time, undoubtedly Taki is an expert on such matters. I wonder why the party don't seem to want Blair any more. Perhaps there are obvious and sensible reasons, but "Is Blair Labor's answer to Charles Kennedy ?" Of course, to pile pelion on ossa, as the Age says "Cameron is the new Tony Blair".
But Tyndall ends his piece: "It is the tragedy of Britain, in one of the darkest hours of her history, to be afflicted with a creature like this as prime minister, surrounded as he is by other creatures equally disgusting in their craving for office, status, rank and the illusion of ‘power’, and equally willing to sanction criminality of the most subhuman kind just as they speechify against it.
In healthier times in our long island and imperial story we have hanged people for much less."
