Reply to: Blair "disingenuous" about Iraq WMDs - Lord Butler

What we need is a regulator to regulate politics and funded by the political parties. A mandatory 5% charge should be levied on every political party and all politicians should be degree qualified. Forget the electorate they don't matter - the regulator should hold politicians to account for then there is financial motitivation - party funds.

Good suggestion - still my blueprint for the UK's political future would consist of

1) The immediate dissolution of the Current Political Parties

2) The instatement of high street Banks as the replacement parties to represent the UK electorate

I think voting for Barclays, Natwest or Royal Bank of Scotland etc would be a more effective and less patronising system that the current schema - besides in a way it is the Banks that ultimately rule UK politics - time to cut out the smiling ineffectual middlemen.

Of course the Banks manifestos would only vary by minute differences in macro-economcis ef what interest rate to set etc but remember folks - no matter whom you vote - the government always gets in.

You couldn't make this up, John Bolton, one of the biggest hawks in the Bush Government was on Newsnight last night. He blaimed the WMD shambles on Blair, he reckoned the US only thought he had the scientific intelectual ability to acquire them.

I believed and indeed said this two years ago, when it emerged that the US had relied on Blair's dossier to fill in the gaps in their own intelligence. More fool the US.

The ultimate humiliation attack on Blairs Iraq fantasy was from Thatcher who said she would not have went to War on the data which Blair had, on the basis that as a scientist, more compelling evidence would have been required.

But then again - Thatcher was not a wannabe Popstar.

For the record - John Bolton is a Saddamist defeatist who ought to have been hung with his paymaster.

Does anyone believe what that idiot has to say? It seems like all the neocon hawks are taking a stroll down slippery shoulder street on their way to scapegoat city... holes

Mailman did

Not sure what your point is.

Have you run out of poems??

Here's one:

Went to see the captain, strangest I could find,

laid my proposition down, laid it on the line-

I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels,

but I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools.



Ship of fools on a cruel sea,

ship of fools sail away from me.

It was later than I thought when I first believed you,

now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

Lord Butler is nothing but a Saddamist anti-democratic terrorist - try telling your socialist rants to all the Iranian women whose husbands were murdered by Saddam - so called Lord Butler.

We all knew this anyway!!

Nobody used to listen to me when I said Blair was disingenuous.

Lord Butler must be more credible than me.

Hey-ho

You do realise this is the ULTIMATE humiliation?
