Bag's Rants

Our Leader using his strength.

As part of my once a decade thinking process I had a think about our beloved leader. Our PM Tony Blair.

I came to the conclusion that the problem is a lot simpler than I originally thought. I thought he was working to a master plan for a Blairite Society where people followed simple rules and it was all very middle ground and with Christian values with everything smooth running with any extreme behaviours knocked out of us by force.

Then watching him screw up the EU Presidency and the start of a new devastation of our rights and freedoms I suddenly realised what it was.

Blair is actually just a salesman with a similar hypnotic technique to Rasputin, Charles Manson and Hitler. He is a Snake Oil Salesman out to make a name for himself.

He has sold himself to all the gullible people out there as a Leader to be followed and listened to. And a lot have. He was aided by the fact we are in a time where our politicians are seem as low life and his dim star shone brighter for that.

His policies seemed to be ill conceived and naive. I now think that is because he makes it up as he goes along based on what he sees as the best way to go at the time or based on making some sort of name for himself. That is why he got involved in Iraq. Why he failed to do anything with the EU. Why we have the Torture scandal. Why he keeps people close to him and protects them.

When he deals with foreigners, he is under great pressure. Johnny Foreigner has no time to be sold anything and instead he had to use his political skills which are sadly lacking as we have seen.

That is also why we have all the new style KGB thugs out there removing dissent and restricting protests. Like the North Korean leader nothing must show he is not loved in his own country. It does not look good when you are selling snake oil to have your disgruntled customers in the background making themselves heard.

Unfortunately, people become harder to hypnotise and not hearing about dissent doesn't make you happier. Looks like our salesman snake oil is not selling as well as it did. Even our MPs are starting to come out of the trance and are kicking off. About time too.
