This is that rare thing, a Guardian article that everybody should read.

This blog is both interesting and disturbing, in that Tony Blair's constituency agent is presented as, at the very least, covering up for stalkers and belittling their victims. Update: Oh, look! There's one house in the constituency which hasn't had its resale value deliberately wrecked by an organized campaign of vandalism and harassment!

 It is now apparent that the United Kingdom will pay the price for ten years of Antony Charles Lynton Blair's rule, with an entire generation of austerity. It is also quite clear, that England will pay a deeper price, and for longer, than Scotland, even though it was the recklessness of Scottish banking institutions that precipitated and amplified the financial crisis. England's economic wounds won't be healed by Scottish Independence, even though Scottish banks and Scottish politicians, such as Mr Blair and Mr Brown, played such a major part in her downfall, because their weapon was an asset bubble formed by the inflow of entirely speculative foriegn capital into largely English assets. Having created an asset bubble in England, they then borrowed against it to buy massively into the highest risk debt, secured against America's own asset bubble. In effect, HBOS and RBS tried to make Scotland a major world banking power by abducting the English property sector and rans...

Here's an interesting article , indeed!

There has been a lot of public pressure recently, attempting to "force" the new Coalition government of the United Kingdom into holding a review into the case of David Kelly. There have even been some allegations that incoming ministers are somehow colluding with Tony Blair to keep everything secret. From Medawar's own contacts with the Ministry of Justice, a subtly different picture emerges. Relevant papers in the David Kelly were highly classified by the outgoing government, as, incidentally, was the report by a Sergeant Hughes, into why Scottish Authorities missed dozens of chances over twenty years to prosecute Thomas Hamilton prior to the Dunblane Massacre. When this level of classification is invoked by a given government, they have the option to seal all relevant papers from that government's successors. This would appear to be what has happened: incoming ministers wanted an inquiry, but the civil service simply cannot let them see the sealed papers until som...

See link to BBC article. Sir John Chilcot is not the first person to mistake a vicious pathological liar for someone with very strong self-belief.

This is a link to a new book (available from the 5th of April onwards) about the death of Dr David Kelly and the surrounding circumstances. (Hardback price £16.99) It is published at a very appropriate moment, when Great Britain is learning afresh that we need the scientists and technicians of Porton Down far more than we need messianic pathological liars.  The Kindle edition of the book may be ordered here . (Kindle Price £7.19) Long before he was embroiled in controversy over Iraq, Dr Kelly was quietly exposing efforts by the Soviet state and post-Soviet Russian Federation to cheat on chemical and biological weapons limitation treaties (especially over the weaponisation of Smallpox), and that's never been more pertinent than it is today. It will be interesting to see whether the new book touches on this.

 Image copyright (c) AP According to the Mail on Sunday , Tony Blair has attended a secret meeting at the White House as part of a determined drive, employing numerous contacts, to persuade President Trump to make him America's Peace Envoy in the Middle East. He was previously the UN's Peace Envoy in the Middle East, where he accomplished nothing except a certain amount of shameless self-enrichment: luxury suites at the King David Hotel; that sort of thing. President Trump believes, passionately, in nation states negotiating the best deal for themselves and each other, and he is bitterly opposed to anti-democratic multi-national economic or political structures. Blair STILL sees himself as the anointed leader of a European superstate , and is part of a campaign to sabotage Brexit (Trump has made much of supporting Brexit), to which end he is working with Nick Clegg and Lord Mandelson, neither of whom believes in the sort of values that Trump's supporters do. They are natura...
