Blair for President: An Outrage

Am I the only person who feels a sense of outrage at the prospect of Tony Blair being appointed President of the European Union? The people of Europe have no say in whom their President should be, of course. There will be no election. Blair would merely be appointed to the role which is yet again the EU acting as a gentleman’s club or like a masonic lodge, existing simply to preserve the interest of the European political elite. I am personally in favour of a united Europe, but a united Europe of the people. As long as this monstrous organisation exists it needs to be taken down, the sooner it is dismantled the better. The fact that a man such as Blair can even be under consideration for such a post is proof positive of this. What credentials does he have. It is said that he has a global profile. The only reason he has a global profile is because he was a pro-active war monger, who vigorously campaigned for the bombing of Belgrade, the capital city of another European country which is now seeking admission to the EU, he lied to his own people to lead Great Britain into an illegal war which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and mired us in a conflict in Afghanistan which has no end in sight and I can assure you that ultimately we will lose. I can only assume that the Presidency of the EU brings with it immunity from prosecution, because there are any number of countries in Europe that should he cross their borders he find himself arraigned at The Hague on war crimes charges. Then again we should look at the most enthusiastic advocates of a Blair Presidency. Nicolas Sarkozy, the playboy President of France obssessed with acquiring an international profile for himself whilst screwing up his country at home; Silvio Berlusconi, the corrupt, scandal-ridden, boss of Italy. Perhaps, he hopes his friend Tony can pull a few strings and keep him out of jail; and of course, our own Gordon Brown, the unelected Prime Minister of Great Britain, so desparate to remain in power that like a limpet he will cling on to anything that might add some sheen to his discredited Premiership and tarnished reputation including the infected, disease-ridden corpse of a political cadaver.

I know some right read this as not being a well-thought out and reasoned series of arguments, and I admit it is a bit of a rant, but some things need to be said. The points briefly touched upon are worthy of discussion. Yet the media (another organ of the political elite) presents to us the candidacy of Tony Blair as if it is only right and proper, as if his previous role as Prime Minister gives him some kind of automatic right to a role that will continue to impinge upon our lives without any say from us, the people, whatsoever. The Eurpean Union is behaving like the boys club it undoubtedly is. I don’t want this man in my life any more. It is a scandal and I believe this entire rotten edifice should be made to crumble and fall. I say NO to Tony Blair.
