Tony Blair’s outgoing policy chief had this to say:
"What is the big breakthrough, in terms of politics, on
the web in the last few years? It’s basically blogs which are,
generally speaking, hostile and, generally speaking, basically see
their job as every day exposing how venal, stupid, mendacious
politicians are.
The only problem is that he’s not actually very happy with the fact that we keep pointing out said truth.

Why do these wankers always label bloggers as “People who understand technology”? I have no idea how blogs work – I just know how to read instructions and type stuff using a keyboard et voila a blog! Does the fact that I can drive a car mean that I understand the technology of a compustion engine? Cunt.
He didn’t say murderous.
Why do these wankers always label bloggers as “People who understand technology”?
Because they like to think of you as unwordly anoracky nerds.
Saves addressing the real issues!
The same irritating attributes are evidently not entirely confined to blogs:
“Minister Margaret Hodge is reported to have called the Iraq war Tony Blair’s ‘big mistake in foreign affairs’. She said she had had doubts about Mr Blair’s attitude to foreign affairs as back as 1998, according to The Islington Tribune. The industry minister also criticised Mr Blair’s ‘moral imperialism’, the newspaper adds.”

Bloody hell, Bob B; how would you like to be patronised by Margaret Hodge?
“Minister Margaret Hodge is reported to have called the Iraq war Tony Blair’s ‘big mistake in foreign affairs’.”
“A disaster”, she said. Better still Tony has now agreed with her. On TV. With David Frost.
Yes Sir David Frost who is now working for Al Jazeera. Britons should be so proud.
As far as Taylor, he has managed to clearly demonstrate why we blog about idiots like him.
Evidently Blair placed the blame for the ‘disaster’ rather differently than do critics on the Left. Would you care to discuss that?
