Short the opportunist poses no threat to Phoney. She has been sidelined since her non-threat to the Brit Emperor. Not a doubt is there that she is feared, missed or whatever among the New Labour bunch of careerists and opportunists.

Already Short is pass news... and her stupidity in trusting Phoney to give a golden elephant to his promise to her which she ought to have known is elephant shit right from the start proves her to be more than excessively stupid.

We should not bother about Short (some almost depended on her, thinking that is she had left the cabinet, an exodus of sheep would follow - what a non-event!!!!).

Phoney would remain as long as he sees that he makes history for himself not only for Britain but Europe. He outmorals the Pope and bores everyone stiff with his acts of martyrdom. He is going to do so.

The least honest New Labour supporters should do is to own up to the fact that they now have Thatcher Version II for leader and should get off their spines to get rid of the control freak.

Shame the bulk of New Labour supporters have no such moral fibre.

I'm glad that the prospect of Blair being toppled or more subtly standing down is being discussed quite openly in the media now, some of us have been trying to get the message across for weeks since the war.

I’ve been targeting Blair personally now for a while and I state my reasons clearly on my own site on why he should be kicked out, but I suspect that many Labour MP’s and party members are questioning his leadership and realise that he’s not only past his sell by date, but a warmonger, a compulsive liar, a religious fanatic and a complete liability to them now and are hoping that a challenger comes forward to take him on in a leadership contest.

I believe that despite him having his war against Iraq against substantial opposition, the aftermath of it can still bring his premiership to an end.

"If the Labout Party get rid of him soon, they may be able
to repair some of the damage he has done."

Of course, speaking personally, I'd love to see Blair go.
But what difference does the leader really make? They're
still a bunch of politicians ie the ruling elite ie our
enemy...

So yes, let's kick Blair out, with pleasure. But's let's
not have any illusions at all about whoever replaces him.
Let's not let a personal defeat of Blair defuse our anger
against the system as a whole.

The problem is bigger than Blair.
The problem is bigger than Bush.
The problem is bigger than New Labour.
The problem is bigger than America.

The problem is CAPITALISM!

Indeed, but capitalism is propped up by people.

Some people.

blair may be on borrowed time, but he seems to have a masssive overdraught facility, and a double mortgage on big ben .remember, as early as 1997 and the alleged ecclestone formula one ciggies affair, he was looking discredited and past it, so it seems that these characters will simply keep lumbering on, undead, frankenstien fashion, until they really DO go...

weening people off capitalism is a big job

telling the average shmoe that capitalism is the root of the problem leads to congitive dissonance.

rather than capitalism itself, I believe it's capitalists that should be the focus in the short-run.
