The only ones attacking our way of life is Bliar, his cronies, his handlers and the civil service.

Say, wheres that block Charles I was executed on? the British people may just need it...

Slick. Smooth. Professional.


And straight out of 1984!

If you weren't with him, you were with the enemy (where have we heard that before). War = Peace.

ID cards, creating on big open prison, was there to protect our liberty. Freedom = Slavery

Don't listen to anyone else, the Labour party are the only people who can make Britain better. Ignorance = Stength.

Watching all the false smiled sychophants, clapping and cheering a warmonger and traitor made me feel physicaly sick. It depresses me that 1 in 5 people voted for this band of parasites, but what depresses me more is the other set of puppets, supposedly the opposition, are no better and have Blair II ready and primed.

Looks like John Reid the Stalinist and commie thug will be the next leader of the Labour party...the happy clappers are bound to vote for him for fear of being interrogated

blair is out of touch or he is a lier. he still thinks iraq has nothing to do with terrorism getting 90%(guess on what it seems like) worse. mmmm blair thinks that lieing to attack a country dosnt make people in that country mad even if their family members where killed due to the lies. saddam was a bad man, BUT that does not excuse him lieing to us and scareing us by feeding us lies. why isnt he on trail for misleading us. blair is the only man ever to make me feel disgusted for being british, our country has gone down the pan thanks to his holding bushes hand. hes destroyed freedom and liberty and made terrorism far worse whilst laying the blame else where. im going through torture everyday hearing all the lies whilst media and others just sit there and do NOTHING! which ferther makes me feel ashamed to be british. i just hope that in the future because of blair its not a case of the man who cried wolf! if there is a real threat in the future will we believe them or think where have i heard this before, ah yea when blair lied about wmd's in iraq.

I read about a lawyer in London who forged some council documents and got caught. The paper interviewed the Bar who said that he could be struck off for lying. Is Bliar on the bar and if so can we collate provable lies to send in as evidence to get him struck off?

You know, I thought it was just me who regards Blair as a liar and war criminal, clearly from the comments above. many others also agree. I haven't even seen any of this week's Labour party conference - my wife has shielded me from the news as my hatred of these people riles me beyond measure.

I just hope that one day the people of the world shall see Blair and Bush (and all their co-conspirators) standing together in the Hague, answering the charge of crimes against humanity.

Blair knows full well he has been spouting lies about practically everything he has turned his attention to. And this from the leader of what is supposed to be the Labour Party! Unbelievable that he has got away with it for so long and a real indication of how dire the 'free' press is (and a huge chunk of the Labour party for that matter).
When the new NO2ID poster depicting Blair with a barcode Hitler type moustache there was the predictable outrage. Apparently Labour's Lord Janner had the nerve to say 'Hitler was a mass murderer and to make any comparison between him and Tony Blair is stupid and unacceptable'.

How exactly?!? How can it be stupid and unnacceptable to compare them? The similarities should be blindingly obvious unless you've been brainwashed by 24/7 propaganda. Just how many people do you have to be reponsible for killing before you become a mass murderer? I'd have thought that by anyone's standards Blair would qualified.

[Rory Winter]

Blair is so hated and reviled that I think if someone made a film of his arrest, trial, torture and painful execution it would be quite popular.

Bring on the tumbrils!

'On that thought, I am struggling on who to even vote at the next election. I dont believe there is anyone standing in my constituancy for 9/11 truth and all that goes with it. Who are you thinking of voting? I guess I could always vote for the Scottish Nationalists... at least they, along with the LibDems took the Anti war stance'

I'm in the same boat Bongo only am unfortunately not Scottish! Democracy eh? You can choose the left buttock or the right buttock but still end up voting for the same arse.

[Rory Winter]

Does this help you decide?

"Blair's turgid speech

Heaping superlatives on Blair for his "brilliant" final conference speech, media pundits tested the boundaries of obsequious sycophancy, yesterday. Rusbridger, in yesterday's Guardian leader gushed: "Shining the bright beam of his oratory and intellect across Labour's decade in power, Tony Blair yesterday astounded his party with a speech that impressively illuminated New Labour's achievements while leaving its weaknesses and failures in the shadows."

Freedland, also in yesterday's Guardian, spouted in similar awestruck vein: "...the man's sheer, undeniable skill as a political performer. Clare Short calls him an "actor-presenter", but if she's right he's an Oscar-worthy actor and a Bafta deserving presenter... He can do it all: hold a large hall rapt, yet still sound right on television; hit every emphasis and cadence; move effortlessly from light to shade." High praise indeed for Blair's apparently unique gift of being able to speak in an affable "bloke-ish" manner.

However, this fulsome praise from many media pundits for Blair's intellect and performance seems, in many cases, to have glossed over what he actually had to say. Apparently, many professional journalists lost their powers of analysis when confronted with this stage managed and scripted event. An event designed to proselytise the factional group of Labour party members - numbering less than two-hundred-thousand people. Some journalists, like Simon Hoggart, did seem to remember that they were being paid to inform the wider public about events, but still they were very careful in their critical remarks.

Against a background of manufactured euphoria for Blair's intellect, vision and oratory skills, Hoggart noted: "There were the usual verb-free sentences - 79 in all - which in the past implied commitments without making promises. Now they evoke achievements that may or may not have occurred: "The end of waiting time in the NHS. Historic. Transforming secondary schools... Historic." And there were those clunking sentences that make you ask what on earth he could possibly mean, though you haven't time to work it out because the speech has swept on. "The USP of New Labour is aspiration and compassion reconciled." Eh? "Ten years ago, if we talked pensions, we meant pensioners." What was that about? "The danger is failing to understand that New Labour in 2007 won't be New Labour in 1997." Sorry, run that past me again. "Ten years on, our advantage is time, our disadvantage, time." Lost me there, old c***. Even the single mad staring eye was back."

To his credit, Hoggart did notice that Blair was rambling incoherently in parts of his speech. Despite Blair's much feted "intellect" the fact that he still has difficulty constructing sentences in English would indicate that his privileged public school education has serious shortcomings and that his class rooted arrogance is misplaced. Indeed, it is the disastrous failings of his much feted intellect, visible to all in the decisions he has taken over matters such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon, that has instigated serious coup attempts from his own colleagues to wrestle the levers of crown powers from his deluded hands because he's become a huge electoral liability.

The more the media pundits praise Blair and shield him from the truth, the more they encourage his messianic self-belief. A self-belief of the genuinely deluded. That our democratic system should deliver us such a fool to rule us with crown powers makes the strongest possible case for genuine reform of our political system. That the media praise and defend the deluded clown, Blair, demonstrates the real dangers of an establishment media afraid to confront those in power."
