The Secret Blair Tapes

The Daily Mail has received this extraordinary, unexpurgated recording of a candid meeting between Tony Blair and his Cabinet colleagues...

"Hey, guys. Have you seen the riots in Hungary on the news? All because the Prime Minister decided to tell the truth for once. What got into him?

"I mean, everyone knows we've been lying for years, but that's no reason to admit it. How I've got away with the 'pretty straight kind of guy' act for so long is a mystery.

"The first time I wheeled it out, over the Formula One fiasco, John Humphrys and I kept getting a fit of the giggles. We had to do three takes.

"Remember '24 hours to save the NHS'? That was a laugh. We've spent billions and the health service is still a complete shambles....

I read this & the "laugh or cry" dilemma really kicked in!

Yes. Too close to home!

I would love to be a fly on the wall in Number 10! Imagine the things you would hear.

Perhaps our military need to take a lesson from Thailand and launch a military coup. That would be exciting

Why do you think they have been under-investing in the military? When we have troops who run out of ammunition in the middle of a battle they can hardly come to the aid of our country, or what is left of it. It's a pity no one can lay siege to our state broadcaster.
