I'm Tony, fly me

From today's Daily Mail, which previously reported on how Cherie and Tony Blair were using two range rovers in train for house hunting:
"Mr Blair has quickly honed his taste for the high living to which he has always been drawn.
"Friends say he has, of late, been extolling the virtues of the private Gulfstream jets that are now his preferred mode of travel - those wishing to book him on the international lecture circuit are routinely told that providing Mr Blair with his own airliner is a non-negotiable requirement...
"And when the Jewish Federation in Tampa, Florida, approached his agents, the Washington Speakers' Bureau, to book him for its annual President's dinner next March, it baulked at their insistence that Blair would charge £125,000 for a one-hour talk, plus, of course, the prerequisite private jet to transport him from the UK."

I always like a man who says what he means and means what he says. No wonder I never liked Tony!

"President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain endorsed Tony Blair on Friday to be the first to fill a re-created European Union presidency, even as critics questioned how a leader from a nation deeply skeptical of the European Union could serve in the role...
...The new office would come into effect in January 2009 and could finally make it clear whom Washington should call when it "wants to speak to Europe," as Henry Kissinger once put it.
Yeh! Henry, as a suspected war criminal yourself you could ring up another one who is also a serial Liar, and has on at least 2 occasions has been suspected of corruption. What a great idea to have such a person, who can also claim to be President Bush´s pathetic lap dog, as an unelected president of Europe.

He came to a local city near me and I happened to be there when the battle bus drew up. In those days, we did think he was sincere and honest and would change things from the Tory regime. What was to happen shortly after they arrived suggested that Teflon Tony didn't have an honest bone in his body.
The TV cameras were on him, press too. He was all smiles for the cameras, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with people. Then the cameras turned off. Tony no longer smiled at people, he grimaced. Those that put their hands out to shake his, were rebuffed haughtily. Phoney Tony was showing his true colours now.
In government he proved to be a liar and out for all he could get for himself and his cronies. Then he is a mason and that is one reason why he is so close to Bush, another mason. See www.Freemasonrywatch.org

People should not be giving him work, it puts the aircrew at risk whenever he flies. Presumably they are well insured and get a premium wage for danger.
Tony and his wife are surely as despicable as that liar Tory and his fragrant wife who lied about the working woman. Did her family get any compensation for that?
