Blairs Speech Summary At Confrence

mkpdavies · 26-09-2006, 02:41 PM

Ignorance is strength.
Slavery is freedom.
War is peace.

Big brother loves you, learn to love Big Brother.

That was one of hellva a good speech and, as a trade mark of New Labour, delivered with panache (Clinton style) and something usually missing from New Labour, an appeal to old style Labour values and convictions, just updated.

Don't agree with some of what he said, education, schools, NHS, the armed services (as in I agree with what he said the excellent quality of our armed services, the reality however is in their lack of funding is something else !).

Nicely made points regarding the USA and Europe (I may have missed it but I don't think he mentioned the European Union by name).

Wafted away the Liberal Dems and well and truly stuffed Cameron AND the Conservatives. Always a joy to watch / listen to a master of his craft.

There's lots and lots in the electoral hunting ground for UKIP.

He's smoother than a very smooth smooth thing, that has been smoothed down on smooth day.

More war, more loss of freedoms, more reliance on government, more surrending of nationhood.

He may have the velvet glove, but there is an iron fist within it.

Blair's middle name is liar. Time for this ham actor to quit the stage. Like alot of showbusiness people - he doesn't know when to quit and is touting around for a few more bookings (i.e. a few more speeches, tours, interviews, press conferences, international summits). By amazing coincidence, Bliar's annual salary (£180, 000) is exactly the same as the 'top' four or five actors/actresses on Coronation Street get. He (Blair) is, as the Labour-supporting actress Doris Lessing said a few years ago (before resigning from Labour in disgust at Blair) "a fantasist". He lives in an unreal world while his money-minded wife surfs E-Bay in search of bargains.

Despite the polite reception his boring and arrogant "you'll miss me when I'm gone" lecture was given by what's left of the Labour party membership (i.e. the 50% that haven't quit since he got in) all it will take is ONE Labour Parliamentary By-Election loss or bad performance and all the clamour for him to go (from his own 'side') will resurface.

His only remaining ambition (apart from seeking adoration) is get to his tenth anniversary in Downing Street. He'd better hope that there aren't any parliamentary By-Elections between now and next May. There must be a 50% chance that there could be at least one. The political vultures in his own power-hungry and discredited party are keeping an eye on things - just in case :twisted: .

He is certainly a master at his craft. His speeches are always a joy to watch, even though he talks ********.

It is a shame nobody realises the true nature of his 'beliefs'. More state control, less freedoms, more political correctness, more 'rights', less competitive economy, loss of sovereingty....etc, etc, etc, etc

The good points: more public spending with not much improvement in return. Pensioners still living in poverty, more unequal distribution of income, signing away another £7bn to the EU budget with no reform in return.

Oh wait a minute... these are bad pints. So what are the good points?

All we've had is ten years of hosing cash away with sod all to show for it.

Watch the reaction when the bills start to come in!

The fact that he is going to step down as Prime Monster doesn't mean that he should get away with the stuff he did in office. He should be prosecuted for starting an illegal war, and for the resulting deaths of a lot of innocent people (as well as some not so innocent). How do we trigger such a prosecution? I don't know the mechanisms.

Exactly. Did he (Blair) offer any help to pensioners and other poor with their heating bills for this coming Winter (in view of the massive increase in the cost of electricity and gas)? No. Did he say how much progressthere has been in removing illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers? No he didn't - because there hasn't been any progress. Did he explain why tax has increased overall by another 5% in the last 12 months or why inflation is at a 9 year-high? Again, the issues were not mentioned by Bliar. He carefully avoided discussing the serious lack of resources in the British defence forces (putting at risk the safety of UK soldiers) and he ignored the rising council tax or that free speech has all but been wiped out in local Government by Prescott's Standards Board regulation prohibiting the right of elected councillors to speak on planning issues that concern them. Not surprisingly, Blair never raised the matter of the police investigation into alleged loans for peerages.And, of course, he failed to explain why he gave the EU an extra £9 billion of British taxpayers' money for absolutely nothing in return at the EU budget 2007-13 negotiations in Brussels last December. The list of issues that Blair could have talked about but didn't is endless.

His "you'll miss me when I've gone" lecture to the Labour Conference yesterday was boring - hot air, nothing else. If a Parliamentary By-Election crops up in the next few months and Labour performs badly, the pressure on him to quit Downing Street before next Summer will return with a vengeance.

Ann Leslie, the Daily Mail columnist, said (on Sky Television News at 11.39 pm on 26.9.2006) of Blair’s ridiculous and over-rated final speech as Prime Minister to the annual conference of the Lie-bour Party in Manchester on 26.9.2006 “He is an actor-manager. This was his last hurrah. The late drama critic Kenneth Tynan would be in tears fumbling for his hanky (in view of Blair’s last speech to the annual conference of the Labour Party). Blair was saying in his speech that he was the greatest Prime Minister since the dawn of time. Gordon Brown (the Labour Chancellor) is not an orator. But his last speech was adequate.”
