Attacking the Bushehr nuclear facility alone in Iran would be a nightmare, releasing radiation into the atmosphere, an authoritative US report notes: "...to attack Iran's nuclear facilities will not only provoke war, but it could also unleash clouds of radiation far beyond the targets and the borders of Iran", Elias Tuma of the Arab Internet Network told the Federal News Service last March. In addition, it is almost a certainty that Iran would retaliate by hitting Israel's Dimona nuclear complex (military experts view this as unlikely, however, "Europeans are fretting over the risk of radiation releases from Dimona and, more likely, Iran's bombed nuclear plants", according to Eric Margolis).
However, even more Iranians will die from nuclear blast and radiation poisoning, as the United States Strategic Air Command (US - SAC), under instructions from Dick Cheney, has drawn up a "contingency plan" that "includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons".
According to Philip Giraldi (a former CIA officer) of the American Conservative: "the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections." Obviously, the lives of a few hundred thousand Iranians (the population of Tehran is 12,059,000) are not worth the career of one air force officer.
"Precision bombing could put Iran's weapons programme back five to 10 years but within a month the situation would become 'an extremely dangerous conflict', says Professor Paul Rogers, the report's author", the Daily Telegraph reports. "The attack would result in 'a protracted military confrontation' involving Israel, Lebanon and some Gulf states." Not mentioned here is the most crucial component, if the United States and Israel attack Iran, U.S. troops in Iraq will have hell to pay, especially in the Shia south of the country. Iranian retaliation: "would surely start with attempts to mobilize Shia partisans in Iraq to try to turn the Iraqi south into an extension of the insurgency in the Sunni triangle", Gary Sick, professor of Middle East studies at Columbia University and former National Security Council adviser to then President Jimmy Carter, told a congressional panel last February.
Moreover, within "minutes of any attack, Iran's air and sea forces could threaten oil shipments in the Persian Gulf as well as the Gulf of Oman. Iran controls the northern coast of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which oil tankers must navigate, and could sink ships, mine sea routes or bomb oil platforms" according to a Center for Strategic and International Studies report. Closing the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran turning off its oil spigot, would create immediate havoc in the world economy, so closely tied to petroleum. "Oil prices on the international markets would shoot up to $400 a barrel if an attack were to be carried out on Iran", a senior Revolutionary Guards' commander warned, last September, according to Iran Focus.
Billionaire globalist and neolib investor, George Soros, was a bit more modest, telling CNN Money last month that "Iran is on a collision course and I have a difficulty seeing how such a collision can be avoided" and this collision might jack oil prices up to $262 per barrel.
Either Cheney or the Straussian neocons are not at all wise, courting depression and social and political disaster or something else is up their sleeves. In order to understand what the Iran attack means in the larger context, it pays to examine the Straussian philosophy.
"Strauss thinks that a political order can be stable only if it is united by an external threat, and following Machiavelli (as in 'the Prince'), he maintains that if no external threat exists, then one has to be manufactured", writes Shadia Drury. "Because mankind (in the form of politicians) is intrinsically wicked, he has to be governed", Strauss wrote. "Such governance can only be established, however, when men are united and they can only be united against other people".
Strauss' established governance, according to Drury, is made possible through "aggressive, belligerent foreign policy," and "[p]erpetual war, not perpetual peace, is what Straussians believe in". According to Jim Lobe, "Strauss' neoconservative students see foreign policy as a means to fulfill a 'national destiny', as Irving Kristol defined it already in 1983, that goes far beyond the narrow confines of a 'myopic national security.'"
Attacking Iran, with its ensuing financial and social chaos, is precisely the sort of "national destiny" the Straussian neocons have in mind for America. "A sense of perpetual crisis and war cements the society together with absolute loyalty" to the ruling Straussians, explains Michael Doliner. The Straussians "are not, as some think, merely agents of Israel", Doliner continues.
Nor was the war fought merely for oil. They did not ally themselves with the religious right merely for expedience. They do not seek primarily to further the fortunes of Halliburton and Bechtel. All these are real motives, but they are peripheral motives. Their goal is to turn America into the Straussian State and rule it perpetually. Consequently, the debacle in Iraq [or the coming debacle in Iran] does not seriously affect their plans. Even the Katrina aftermath might not shake them. A Straussian society needs an endless war to supply a "them" against which "we" will do endless battle. The endless war (as visualised in George Orwell's '1984'), such a horrible prospect for the rest of us, provided the political glue to transform the United States of America from a liberal democracy to a Straussian totalitarian state.
Attacking Iran and courting disaster will provide the Straussian neocons with the perfect excuse to turn America into a dictatorship under the exigencies of nuclear war because they "want an endless war and the more embattled Americans feel the more inclined they will be to accept a strong ruler and the rest of the Straussian programme."
And what is the "the rest of the Straussian programme?"
Doliner again: "Straussians would rip up American traditions starting from the Declaration of Independence, an Enlightenment document if there ever was one. Nothing could be more repellent to them than the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That is a description of decadent liberalism. They prefer death, bondage, and the fear of God (for others). Straussians are orders of magnitude far more subversive than any Communist ever was. Paradoxically, Straussians do think that Cindy Sheehan's son, Casey, died for a noble cause, the transformation of the United States of America into the Straussian State. But of course they can never say so for their goal must remain a secret one. It must remain secret because the Straussian state is the good society only for the philosophers. (As identified in Plato's 'Republic'). Everyone else remains deluded and oppressed. While the "philosophers play with their puppies" the rest of us slave away or go off to die.
It is, of course, far too late to stop the Straussian neocon Iran attack.
However, as negative as it may sound, we can take a bit of solace in the possibility that the United States will bite off more than it can chew. If the entire Middle East rises up in response to the unprovoked attack upon Iran and, more ominous, Russia and China support the Muslim enemies of the perfidious Straussian neocons, there is a distinct chance the Straussian project will collapse and fail.
However, the spectre of nuclear war remains, as the fascistic Straussian neocons will certainly not go down without a fight or without killing millions of innocent people. Before this happens, hopefully, sanity will rule at the Pentagon and officers less concerned with their careers than the fate of mankind will step up and depose the Straussian neocons.
Many dream of a day when Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Kristol, Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Libby, et al, are paraded before TV cameras in orange jumpsuits, shackled and humiliated, and soon to suffer the fate Hermann Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Rudolf Hess at the Nuremberg Trials were obliged to suffer.
However, the people of America (not unlike the good people of Nazi Germany or Stalin's Russia before them, millions upon millions of innocents suffered and were abused like Notting HIll Housing Trust target the good tenants), as Wilhelm Reich knew before he was thrown in prison, "give impotent people with evil intentions the power to represent [them]. Only too late do [they] realize that again and again [they] are being defrauded. [They] must come to realize that [they] make [their] little men [their] own oppressors, and that [they] made martyrs out of [their] truly great men." Our oppressors, fast at work undermining what remains of our constitutional republic, are the Straussian neocons.
In the meantime we need to see who exactly our oppressors truly are...
Blair says according to his interview with the tame BBC Radio 4 interviewer, John Humphrys, of the Blair controlled Blair Broadcasting Corporation (BBC - Blair does select the BBC Chairman!), that the lowest 10 per cent of the British population is a 'basket-case', so why is it that far far more than the lowest 10 per cent of the British population are represented in the Blair Cabinet?
How can Blair cite such a statistic that the lowest 10 per cent of the British population is a 'basket-case' unless Blair has carried out a survey and does he exclude himself from his highly anecdotal survey?
Has Blair looked in the mirror recently? He needs to...
Blair's tenure at 10 Downing Street is effectively over...
Blair's integrity is non existent...
The longer Blair stays on the worse Scottish Welsh and English local constituencies will do on 3 May 2007...
Blair wants to destroy the Labour Party as all the grandees are far too weak or cowards to do anything... so that Gordon Brown will look so damaged the Labour Party will appear an electoral disaster so that with a General Election to appeal for a mandate a Conservative Government will take over...
Blair was indeed the most devious viper ever to be a British Prime Minister...
Yes, it's over Blair in the Fuhrer's Hitlerian Bunker of the 1,000 year Reich...
Labour Loyalty is fast collapsing...
Meltdown Meltdown Meltdown is becoming virulently contagious in the party...
Madman Blair blames the Police and anyone and everyone else...
Tony Blair is doing exactly the same as Adolf Hitler before him...
Stalin blamed the Commisars...
Hitler blamed the Gauleiters...
Blair now blames the Commisars, the Gauleiters, the Cronies, the Puppets, Muppets and even the Wombles...
Blair is so weak, cowardly and pathetic he is even trying to blame the poor police...
Iain Blair, John Yates and his brave colleagues (attacked by the weak bullying cowards: Kinnock, Blears and Kelly) know full well that Tony's two close political friends will decide if there is a prosecution. If Blair remains in office he can control everything...
After all, good Ken - Ken Macdonald (DPP - head of the CPS) decides if there are grounds for a prosecution but he is a member of the Labour Party who worked in Matrix Chambers where Mrs Cherie Blair works. He was recommended to the job by Cherie Blair, as he was her ex head of chambers and therefore automatically nominated by Tony Blair!
After all, good Pete - Peter Goldsmith (AG) makes the final independent decision if there are grounds for a prosecution but he is a member of the Cabinet and an ardent Labour Party flagwaver. Hardly an independent decision and he was nominated by his buddy Tony Blair!
After conducting 90 interviews - 35 connected to Labour, including all the current Cabinet plus senior Downing Street advisers and Alan Milburn, who ran the 2005 campaign, and 29 connected to the Conservative Party - Yates wrote to the Commons Public Administration Committee (PAC) to inform them there had been "major developments" in the cash-for-honours inquiry that had not yet been made public. Entering what he called the "final stages" of what will have been a nine-month investigation, he said he expected a file to be delivered to the Crown Prosecution Service very soon.
The outcome...
if Blair stays... and ruins the Labour Party... an acquittal...
if Blair goes... and supports the Labour Party... a potential conviction...?
This means the chances of any support for the Labour Party are grim indeed...
The ship is sinking fast...
THE LEGACY:
Blair's career collapses in ignominy, a devastating disaster of the messianic self-righteousness which enables Blair to deceive himself as easily as he does others...
The Fuhrer Hitler or is it the Bombardier Blair in his besieged bunker?
Blair has lost it...
Blair has lost all touch with reality...
Blair besieged, isolated, corruption complete... deceit... lies... the lethal legacy
..the war in Iraq... based on the biggest lie of all...
...hundreds of thousands of deaths of innocent men ('insurgents' fighting for their raped country), women killed and maimed and the children...
...Depleted Uranium, Cancers and liver failures, these are the radioactive effects of DU and the meaning of Gulf War Syndrome, with hundreds of children born just to die... see the photos of their horrific injuries... evil beyond measure... it matters not a jot to Blair and his cronies...
...the toxic evil intolerant totalitarian legacy of Blairism promoting the apostles of hate, the politically correct obsession with multiculturalism and attacking good people as racialist (for shouting the outrageous word 'nonsense') like the poor, vulnerable and defenceless 82-year-old Walter Wolfgang, the victim of Nazi oppression, who was ejected at the Labour Party conference for exercising his only last right of freedom of speech (another outburst of intolerant totalitarian control-freak Nazi tactics?), but Blairism enjoys emphasising ethnic differences at the expense of a shared British identity...

Attacking the Bushehr nuclear facility alone in Iran would be a nightmare, releasing radiation into the atmosphere, an authoritative US report notes: "...to attack Iran's nuclear facilities will not only provoke war, but it could also unleash clouds of radiation far beyond the targets and the borders of Iran", Elias Tuma of the Arab Internet Network told the Federal News Service last March. In addition, it is almost a certainty that Iran would retaliate by hitting Israel's Dimona nuclear complex (military experts view this as unlikely, however, "Europeans are fretting over the risk of radiation releases from Dimona and, more likely, Iran's bombed nuclear plants", according to Eric Margolis).

LABOUR PARTY TO 'GERRYMANDER' OR RIG THE VOTE ACROSS BRITAIN - PILOTED UNDER NHHT IN WEST LONDON
BLAIR DESTROYING BRITISH CONSTITUTION - HOUSE OF LORDS TODAY - MONARCHY TOMORROW
92 MEMBERS OF THE HEREDITARIES IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS UPPER CHAMBER REMAIN
YET THERE ARE 654 LIFE PEERS - EX BLAIR FLATMATE'S, PARTY DONORS, WASHED- UP MINISTERS, LIKE THE TERRIBLE TWINS OF LABOUR, LABOUR LORD TOM SAWYER AND LABOUR LORD CLIVE SOLEY WHO GOT ALL LABOUR MPs TO VOTE FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ. IF NOT, CLIVE SOLEY AS A LABOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT (MP) SAID THAT ANY LABOUR MPs WHO DID NOT OBEY HIM - AS CHAIRMAN OF THE PARLIAMENTARY LABOUR PARTY (PLP) WOULD BE SACKED, AS THAT WAS WHAT TONY BLAIR THE PRIME MINISTER HAD INSISTED ON. MOST OF THE LIFE PEERS SIT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS ON THE MERE WHIM OF THE PRIME MINISTER - PAST OR PRESENT.
THE LABOUR PARTY REFORMS ARE A DOG'S BREAKFAST - SERVED UP BY GOVERNMENT THIS WEEK AND A CHANGE NEXT WEEK - NO LONG TERM PLANNING.
BRITAIN IS ALL ABOUT COCK-UPS AND SHORT TERMISM!
WITH THE REFORM OF THE LORDS, ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF BRITISH HISTORY WILL BE CONSIGNED TO THE RUBBISH BIN.
THE OLD SYSTEM WORKED EXTREMELY WELL. IT HAD A MIXTURE OF SPIRITUAL INPUT - THE CHURCH - LEGAL INPUT - SENIOR JUDGES - BUSINESS INPUT - CONSERVATIVE PEERS - COUNTRY INPUT - CONSERVATIVE & LIBERAL PEERS.
OWING SEATS TO BIRTHRIGHT, THE HEREDITARIES WERE BEHOLDEN TO NOBODY - MAKING THEM TRULY INDEPENDENT
PEOPLE OFTEN SPEAK OF THE INBUILT CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY IN THE DAYS WHEN MOST OF THEM WERE HEREDITARY. TRY TELLING THAT TO MARGARET THATCHER OR JOHN MAJOR WHO WERE VOTED DOWN IN THE LORDS MANY HUNDREDS OF TIMES BETWEEN THEM.
THE HEREDITARIES SPOKE UP FOR ECCENTRIC MINORITIES, AS FEW DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEGISLATORS WOULD DARE, FOR FEAR OF BEING THOUGHT 'BONKERS' BY THE ELECTORATE. IF LEGISLATION SEEMED UNJUST OR ILL-DRAFTED THEY CHALLENGED THE PARTY LINE WITHOUT FEAR OF THE WHIPS (WHO CONTROL HOW THE POLITICAL PARTY MUST VOTE).
BESIDES, THE HEREDITARIES GAVE A VOICE TO COUNTRY PEOPLE, SO OFTEN TRAMPLED UPON IN A DEMOCRACY IN WHICH THE GREAT MAJORITY OF VOTERS ARE CONCENTRATED IN THE MAJOR CITIES AND TOWNS (LOOK AT THIS GOVERNMENT'S TREATMENT OF RURAL POST OFFICES AND COUNTRY BUS SERVICES AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN).
TONY BLAIR'S MOTTO IS IF IT'S NOT BROKEN, BREAK IT. HE WAS DETERMINED TO GET RID OF THE HEREDITARIES WHEN HE CAME TO POWER TEN YEARS AGO IN 1997.
BLAIR EVICTED MOST OF THE HEREDITARIES IN 1999 WITHOT A THOUGHT IN HIS HEAD ABOUT WHO OR WHAT SHOULD REPLACE THEM.
THERE WAS A POLITICAL 'STITCH-UP' TO PRESERVE CLUB MEMBERSHIP FOR A FAVOURED FEW. THE SELF-ELECTING ARISTOCRACY IT PRODUCED IS UTTERLY INDEFENSIBLE, WHETHER ON GROUNDS OF SENTIMENT, LOGIC OR EFFECTIVENESS.
THE ONE REMAINING HEREDITARY ELEMENT IN THE CONSTITUTION WILL BE LEFT LOOKING TERRIBLY EXPOSED - THE BRITISH MONARCHY.
A GROWING NUMBER OF LABOUR POLITICIANS ARGUE THAT THE CROWN (i.e. CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY - MEANING THE QUEEN) SHOULD GO THE SAME WAY AS THE HEREDITARY PEERAGE.
BRITISH CONSTITUTIONAL VANDALS?
IN 1997, MR BLAIR THE PRIME MINISTER, TOOK 'AN AXE' TO THE UNION WITH SCOTLAND, THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, AND THE SEPARATION OF THE JUDICIARY, LEGISLATURE AND EXECUTIVE (UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF HIS EX FLAT MATE - LABOUR LORD CHARLES FALCONER).
LABOUR POISONED ENGLAND'S RELATIONS WITH SCOTLAND, POLITICISING THE JUDICIARY AND CIVIL SERVICE AND TREATING PARLIAMENT WITH COMPLETE CONTEMPT.
REGARDING THE MONARCHY...
THERE'S THE ELDEST SON OF THE QUEEN, PRINCE CHARLES, WHO LEADS A LIFE OF HUGE EXTRAVAGENCE, JETTING OFF WITH A VAST ENTOURAGE TO COLLECT AN ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD IN THE UNITED STATES, LEAVING COLOSSAL CARBON FOOTPRINTS ALL OVER THE SKY.
THERE'S THE SECOND ELDEST SON TO PRINCE CHARLES, PRINCE HARRY [OR TO BE MORE TRUTHFUL, THE ELDEST SON TO THE CONSUMMATED LOVE BETWEEN JAMES HEWITT AND HRH PRINCESS DIANA - NO BLOOD TEST WILL EVER BE ALLOWED TO DETERMINE THE TRUE PATERNITY OF HARRY!] WHO IS OFTEN FOUND DRINKING HIMSELF SILLY NIGHT AFTER NIGHT IN 'HOORAY-HENRY' STYLE NIGHTCLUBS [IGNORING THE COCAINE HE OFTEN SMOKES]. THE REASON HE ACTS THIS WAY IS CLEAR - HE HAS BEEN MADE ONLY TOO AWARE OF HIS TRUE PATERNITY - THE HEAVY AND DARK SECRET THAT HARBOURS ANOTHER MAJOR SECRET OF HIS LATE MOTHER - NOT TO BE SPOKEN ABOUT PUBLICLY!!! [CHARLES SPENCER HAS A GOOD REASON WHY HE CANNOT LIVE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM!]
THEN THERE IS THE WOMAN WHO MARRIED THE SECOND SON OF THE QUEEN, KNOWN AS 'FERGIE' [SARAH FERGUSON]. WHO SHAMELESSLY TRADES OFF HER ROYAL CONNECTIONS ON THE FOOLISH US STYLE CHAT-SHOW CIRCUIT. WHAT CAN BE MADE OF HER 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, BEATRICE, GUSHING ON A VIDEO PLAYED TO A 'MOTHER OF THE YEAR' LUNCH IN MANHATTAN: "YOUR LIFE, YOUR LOVE AND YOUR CREATIVITY HAVE BLESSED ME SO MUCH AND BLESSED SO MANY PEOPLE?" [WHAT TOSH!]
WHEN WE'VE ALL FINISHED THROWING UP, THE IMPRESSION IS LEFT OF A SELF-INDULGENT AND DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY, DRAGGING DOWN THEIR ROYAL NAME AND STRIPPING IT OF ITS MYSTIQUE AS THEY ENJOY ALL THE FAR TOO MANY PRIVILEGES THAT GO WITH IT.
NEXT, THE CONSTITUION WRECKERS WILL TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO THE HEREDITARY MONARCHY.
AT A TIME WHEN SO MANY OF THE LINKS THAT BIND OUR COUNTRY TOGETHER ARE WEAKENING - THERE ARE LARGE PARTS OF OUR CITIES WHERE YOU WON'T EVEN HEAR ENGLISH SPOKEN - THE MONARCHY REMAINS A UNIFYING FORCE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE A PRESIDENT BLAIR - OR A PRESIDENT THATCHER FOR THAT MATTER - COMMANDING ANYTHING LIKE THE NEAR UNIVERSAL RESPECT AND AFFECTION EARNED BY THE POLITICALLY NEUTRAL QUEEN DURING HER LONG REIGN?
WHAT'S MORE, WOULDN'T YOU HAPPILY BET YOUR LAST PENNY THAT A PRESIDENCY WOULD TURN OUT TO BE TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE MONARCHY?
THE ROYAL FAMILY MIGHT BE DYSFUNCTIONAL - YES, DARK SECRETS MIGHT LURK IN THE PROGENY OF THE CHILDREN, AND YES, SOME TRADE SHAMELESSLY OFF THEIR ROYAL CONNECTIONS AND TEND TO BE FAR TOO PROFLIGATE.

TRANSPARENCY - ACCOUNTABILITY - CONSULTATION - MODERATION
THE SAME SOLUTION NEEDS ADOPTING BY LABOUR GOVERNMENT

LABOUR PARTY TO 'GERRYMANDER' OR RIG THE VOTE ACROSS BRITAIN - PILOTED UNDER NHHT IN WEST LONDON
BLAIR DESTROYING BRITISH CONSTITUTION - HOUSE OF LORDS TODAY - MONARCHY TOMORROW
92 MEMBERS OF THE HEREDITARIES IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS UPPER CHAMBER REMAIN
YET THERE ARE 654 LIFE PEERS - EX BLAIR FLATMATE'S, PARTY DONORS, WASHED- UP MINISTERS, LIKE THE TERRIBLE TWINS OF LABOUR, LABOUR LORD TOM SAWYER AND LABOUR LORD CLIVE SOLEY WHO GOT ALL LABOUR MPs TO VOTE FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ. IF NOT, CLIVE SOLEY AS A LABOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT (MP) SAID THAT ANY LABOUR MPs WHO DID NOT OBEY HIM - AS CHAIRMAN OF THE PARLIAMENTARY LABOUR PARTY (PLP) WOULD BE SACKED, AS THAT WAS WHAT TONY BLAIR THE PRIME MINISTER HAD INSISTED ON. MOST OF THE LIFE PEERS SIT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS ON THE MERE WHIM OF THE PRIME MINISTER - PAST OR PRESENT.
THE LABOUR PARTY REFORMS ARE A DOG'S BREAKFAST - SERVED UP BY GOVERNMENT THIS WEEK AND A CHANGE NEXT WEEK - NO LONG TERM PLANNING.
BRITAIN IS ALL ABOUT COCK-UPS AND SHORT TERMISM!
WITH THE REFORM OF THE LORDS, ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF BRITISH HISTORY WILL BE CONSIGNED TO THE RUBBISH BIN.
THE OLD SYSTEM WORKED EXTREMELY WELL. IT HAD A MIXTURE OF SPIRITUAL INPUT - THE CHURCH - LEGAL INPUT - SENIOR JUDGES - BUSINESS INPUT - CONSERVATIVE PEERS - COUNTRY INPUT - CONSERVATIVE & LIBERAL PEERS.
OWING SEATS TO BIRTHRIGHT, THE HEREDITARIES WERE BEHOLDEN TO NOBODY - MAKING THEM TRULY INDEPENDENT
PEOPLE OFTEN SPEAK OF THE INBUILT CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY IN THE DAYS WHEN MOST OF THEM WERE HEREDITARY. TRY TELLING THAT TO MARGARET THATCHER OR JOHN MAJOR WHO WERE VOTED DOWN IN THE LORDS MANY HUNDREDS OF TIMES BETWEEN THEM.
THE HEREDITARIES SPOKE UP FOR ECCENTRIC MINORITIES, AS FEW DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEGISLATORS WOULD DARE, FOR FEAR OF BEING THOUGHT 'BONKERS' BY THE ELECTORATE. IF LEGISLATION SEEMED UNJUST OR ILL-DRAFTED THEY CHALLENGED THE PARTY LINE WITHOUT FEAR OF THE WHIPS (WHO CONTROL HOW THE POLITICAL PARTY MUST VOTE).
BESIDES, THE HEREDITARIES GAVE A VOICE TO COUNTRY PEOPLE, SO OFTEN TRAMPLED UPON IN A DEMOCRACY IN WHICH THE GREAT MAJORITY OF VOTERS ARE CONCENTRATED IN THE MAJOR CITIES AND TOWNS (LOOK AT THIS GOVERNMENT'S TREATMENT OF RURAL POST OFFICES AND COUNTRY BUS SERVICES AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN).
TONY BLAIR'S MOTTO IS IF IT'S NOT BROKEN, BREAK IT. HE WAS DETERMINED TO GET RID OF THE HEREDITARIES WHEN HE CAME TO POWER TEN YEARS AGO IN 1997.
BLAIR EVICTED MOST OF THE HEREDITARIES IN 1999 WITHOT A THOUGHT IN HIS HEAD ABOUT WHO OR WHAT SHOULD REPLACE THEM.
THERE WAS A POLITICAL 'STITCH-UP' TO PRESERVE CLUB MEMBERSHIP FOR A FAVOURED FEW. THE SELF-ELECTING ARISTOCRACY IT PRODUCED IS UTTERLY INDEFENSIBLE, WHETHER ON GROUNDS OF SENTIMENT, LOGIC OR EFFECTIVENESS.
THE ONE REMAINING HEREDITARY ELEMENT IN THE CONSTITUTION WILL BE LEFT LOOKING TERRIBLY EXPOSED - THE BRITISH MONARCHY.
A GROWING NUMBER OF LABOUR POLITICIANS ARGUE THAT THE CROWN (i.e. CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY - MEANING THE QUEEN) SHOULD GO THE SAME WAY AS THE HEREDITARY PEERAGE.
BRITISH CONSTITUTIONAL VANDALS?
IN 1997, MR BLAIR THE PRIME MINISTER, TOOK 'AN AXE' TO THE UNION WITH SCOTLAND, THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, AND THE SEPARATION OF THE JUDICIARY, LEGISLATURE AND EXECUTIVE (UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF HIS EX FLAT MATE - LABOUR LORD CHARLES FALCONER).
LABOUR POISONED ENGLAND'S RELATIONS WITH SCOTLAND, POLITICISING THE JUDICIARY AND CIVIL SERVICE AND TREATING PARLIAMENT WITH COMPLETE CONTEMPT.
REGARDING THE MONARCHY...
THERE'S THE ELDEST SON OF THE QUEEN, PRINCE CHARLES, WHO LEADS A LIFE OF HUGE EXTRAVAGENCE, JETTING OFF WITH A VAST ENTOURAGE TO COLLECT AN ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD IN THE UNITED STATES, LEAVING COLOSSAL CARBON FOOTPRINTS ALL OVER THE SKY.
THERE'S THE SECOND ELDEST SON TO PRINCE CHARLES, PRINCE HARRY [OR TO BE MORE TRUTHFUL, THE ELDEST SON TO THE CONSUMMATED LOVE BETWEEN JAMES HEWITT AND HRH PRINCESS DIANA - NO BLOOD TEST WILL EVER BE ALLOWED TO DETERMINE THE TRUE PATERNITY OF HARRY!] WHO IS OFTEN FOUND DRINKING HIMSELF SILLY NIGHT AFTER NIGHT IN 'HOORAY-HENRY' STYLE NIGHTCLUBS [IGNORING THE COCAINE HE OFTEN SMOKES]. THE REASON HE ACTS THIS WAY IS CLEAR - HE HAS BEEN MADE ONLY TOO AWARE OF HIS TRUE PATERNITY - THE HEAVY AND DARK SECRET THAT HARBOURS ANOTHER MAJOR SECRET OF HIS LATE MOTHER - NOT TO BE SPOKEN ABOUT PUBLICLY!!! [CHARLES SPENCER HAS A GOOD REASON WHY HE CANNOT LIVE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM!]
THEN THERE IS THE WOMAN WHO MARRIED THE SECOND SON OF THE QUEEN, KNOWN AS 'FERGIE' [SARAH FERGUSON]. WHO SHAMELESSLY TRADES OFF HER ROYAL CONNECTIONS ON THE FOOLISH US STYLE CHAT-SHOW CIRCUIT. WHAT CAN BE MADE OF HER 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, BEATRICE, GUSHING ON A VIDEO PLAYED TO A 'MOTHER OF THE YEAR' LUNCH IN MANHATTAN: "YOUR LIFE, YOUR LOVE AND YOUR CREATIVITY HAVE BLESSED ME SO MUCH AND BLESSED SO MANY PEOPLE?" [WHAT TOSH!]
WHEN WE'VE ALL FINISHED THROWING UP, THE IMPRESSION IS LEFT OF A SELF-INDULGENT AND DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY, DRAGGING DOWN THEIR ROYAL NAME AND STRIPPING IT OF ITS MYSTIQUE AS THEY ENJOY ALL THE FAR TOO MANY PRIVILEGES THAT GO WITH IT.
NEXT, THE CONSTITUION WRECKERS WILL TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO THE HEREDITARY MONARCHY.
AT A TIME WHEN SO MANY OF THE LINKS THAT BIND OUR COUNTRY TOGETHER ARE WEAKENING - THERE ARE LARGE PARTS OF OUR CITIES WHERE YOU WON'T EVEN HEAR ENGLISH SPOKEN - THE MONARCHY REMAINS A UNIFYING FORCE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE A PRESIDENT BLAIR - OR A PRESIDENT THATCHER FOR THAT MATTER - COMMANDING ANYTHING LIKE THE NEAR UNIVERSAL RESPECT AND AFFECTION EARNED BY THE POLITICALLY NEUTRAL QUEEN DURING HER LONG REIGN?
WHAT'S MORE, WOULDN'T YOU HAPPILY BET YOUR LAST PENNY THAT A PRESIDENCY WOULD TURN OUT TO BE TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE MONARCHY?
THE ROYAL FAMILY MIGHT BE DYSFUNCTIONAL - YES, DARK SECRETS MIGHT LURK IN THE PROGENY OF THE CHILDREN, AND YES, SOME TRADE SHAMELESSLY OFF THEIR ROYAL CONNECTIONS AND TEND TO BE FAR TOO PROFLIGATE.
