For all you Yanks out there who don't understand, this is an example of what Blair doesn't seem to understand:
The Euro. For years now the debate has raged throughout parliament over the Euro. Lot of MPs seem to want to hold a referendum, a country wide vote on the subject. Lots of Brits also hold this view. Tony Blair doesn't. Tony Blair once said on camera that he'll decide whether or not we'll have a referendum on any subject and he doesn't think we need one on the Euro.
He doesn't think.
Well I'll tell you what I think shall I Mr Blair? I think you work for me, you are
my Prime Minister, you do what I damn well tell you to do and if there's any confusion about what I want you to do then you can damn well ask me and find out.
How dare you think you can tell me what I think you should be doing for me.
That's what pisses me off about Blair, that he thinks he can do what he likes even when it's blatently clear that the British public doesn't like it. The power of peaceful demonstration is gone in England, even if 50 million people demonstrated outside No.10 it wouldn't make any difference simply because the PM doesn't give a toss. The only defence we have against Tony Blair are other MPs, but like all politicians they're still only out to fill their own agendas anyway so eventually, with plenty of dealing by Blair, he'll get whatever he wants.
Look what he's done / is doing to students. When he first came to power he cut student grants and introduced the student-loans company, didn't matter how many people protested. Now he's making it even worse with these 'top up fees', again doesn't matter how many people protest, the only thing he's worried about is the back-bench rebellion going on so in return he's just double dealing with the back benchers until they're no threat anymore.
In other words, the ruler has said "Mwaaahahahahaa, I'm going to sacrifice all your children to the Dragon." And no matter how much the people cried out he took no notice. Then the rulers own advisors said "No, you cannot do this." and so, in turn, the ruler spoke to each of them until enough of them have said "Doh, of course you can, I was being silly and incidentally thanks very much for the new estate in Buckinghamshire."
America, the next country you liberate from the shackles of a tyrant......can ya make it Britain please?
