Tony Blair is positioning himself to return to British politics,
 |
The
British press or at least sections of it, seem to have a morbid
fascination with Anthony
Charles Lynton
"Tony"
Blair.
In
the Express today (20th November 2016) there is a story that Blair
could become an adviser to President elect Trump after speculation
that the schmoozing former Labour leader might be fishing for a role
in Trump's team.
Admittedly, Blair's aides have rubbished claims
that
he’s vying for an advisory role in Donald Trump’s administration,
blasting such rumours as “complete nonsense”.
However,
with Blair's record of political opportunism and the
delusion of his own importance, we never know where this martinet may
materialise next.

On
the other hand, perhaps
it may be that the story in today’s
Sunday Times that could herald the return of Blair to British
politics, to play a pivotal role in shaping Britain’s Brexit deal
by scouting out a power base in Westminster. It seems that the former
prime minister is setting up an institute close to Whitehall and has
held talks with senior ministers and officials as he seeks to
re-enter British politics.
Describing
Theresa May as a "lightweight" and Jeremy Corbyn as a
"nutter",
Blair once again reveals himself as the saviour of Britain in the
face of
impending catastrophe and
also
confirms that his megalomania has not improved.

Either
of these two diametrically opposed possibilities with no doubt more
to come over the next months and years, are as perverse as they are
absurd. The almost constant media obsession
with the former Prime Minster,
or the continual conjecture
as to what Blair may or may not do
next,
implies that he has some contribution to make and moreover that the
British public are waiting with bated breath for the next epistle to
be handed down from the Blair office. Nothing could be further from
the truth. There are no doubt a few intractable followers of the self
styled "messiah" of politics who believe that Blair and his
teachings are the solution to all and every problem facing not only
the United Kingdom, but of the whole world. Fortunately, these people
are slowly declining in numbers as the damaged caused by his self
serving actions,
particularly over the years since his resignation from the
Premiership, are recognised.
Blair
is a discredited
and duplicitous politician and
the sooner the British media accept that reality
and desist from giving column inches to his every utterance, the
better.
