How President Blair corrupts EVERYTHING
he touches.
(and in the process has
crippled the great institutions of Britain)

When Labour came to power in 1997 they inherited a system
of government that had evolved over centuries to create one of the most stable
and peaceful democracies on Earth. This
was not least because of the checks and balances of our Constitution that
prevented abuses of power.
Eight
years later, those safeguards are in ruins. And the Prime Minister’s treatment
of the advice from the Attorney - General, Lord Goldsmith, about the legality
of the Iraq war proves just how corrupted our system has become.
We
are supposed to have a Prime Minister who is ‘first among equals’. We are
supposed to have a system in which the Cabinet takes decisions collectively -
and if it does not agree with the Prime Minister, then he must change his view
or resign.
However,
such democratic niceties irritate a Prime Minister who prefers to think of
himself as a president. The conventions
and institutions that once protected our liberties from an over-mighty head of government
have been wrecked, not least because of Mr Blair’s knack of corrupting and
soiling every pillar of the constitution he encounters.
Cabinet
government was the first casualty of his premiership. Ministers were appointed either because they were cronies, or
because (like John Prescott) they had a constituency within the party that had
to be represented at the top table.
Having reached the Cabinet, they were then routinely ignored in meeting that
became shorter and shorter.
Mr
Blair has preferred to govern using a coterie of unelected advisers- such as
his political secretary Baroness Morgan, his Chief of Staff Jonathan Powell and
his former Press Secretary Alastair Campbell.
And instead of their discussions being minuted for the record, they are
of informal.
The
Cabinet never saw the Attorney General’s original advice on Iraq of March 7,
2003. This was either because Mr Blair
has such contempt for his colleagues that he felt they had no right to be
consulted, or because he feared they might prevent him taking us to war.
Some
ministers, notably Robin Cook, behaved honourably when they were by-passed and
resigned. But the vast majority sat
tight.
In an
age of the professional politician, ministers would rather follow the call of a
high salary, further promotion and, in the end, a place in the House of Lords
than the call of their conscience.
The
reputation of the Attorney General is now in shreds among the very people whose
respect for him is crucial: the Bar and the Judiciary.
Yet
he has, so far, seen no cause to resign over how he was persuaded to change his
advice to the Government between March 7, when he said there might be legal
considerings affecting our participation in the Iraq war, and March 17, when he
said there were none.
When
the credibility of the Attorney General is compromised in this way, the whole
legal profession is damaged.
The
failure to show the original advice to the Cabinet breached the code of
ministerial conduct. One of the main
enforcers of this code is the head of the permanent civil service, the Cabinet
Secretary Sir Andrew Turnbull.
Sir
Andrew, like his predecessor Sir Richard (now Lord) Wilson, has presided over
the ruinous politicisation of the Civil Service, which has helped end the
culture of wise, objective advice that existed not just to help ministers
govern properly, but to protect the public from their excesses.
The
Civil Service is now of lower calibre than at any time since competitive
examination was introduced for entrants to it 150 years ago. Its morale is low. It is no longer an attractive career prospect for many high-grade
graduates.
Civil Servants are now
routinely blamed for decisions that are the responsibility of ministers.
Advancement, it is clear, is likely to be
obtained only by civil servants who oblige the administration. Sir Andrew seems relaxed about this seismic,
and highly damaging, cultural change.
THE
BEST
example of how a public servant has profited is, of course,
. John Scarlett
As head of the
Joint Intelligence Committee, he helped the Prime Minister and MR Campbell ‘sex-up’
the dossier advancing the case for war against Iraq.
He never wavered in his support for them when the dubious
quality of this intelligence was exposed.
And now we learn that he had also touted ‘nuggets’ of intelligence to
the Iraq Survey Group, which he claimed proved Saddam was a genuine threat.
HIS REWARD for this BETRAYAL of his calling: he has been
promoted to head of MI6.
Meanwhile, Britain’s once -proud intelligence services
enjoy a universal reputation for incompetence and servility to politicians.
As
part of his pursuit of presidential power, Mr Blair has nobbled various other
important institutions, Parliament, in particular, has suffered profoundly.
News
of important government business that would normally have been the subject of a
statement in the Commons - where the minister responsible could be questioned
on it - is now broken on Radio 4’s Today programme, or in a grovelling
newspaper.
The
House of Lords, whose value as a revising chamber and role in trying to limit
the damage done by absurd legislation were crucial, has been emasculated.
Hereditary
peers with an ethic of public service were all but eliminated. The House was packed with Mr Blair’s
cronies. Now further reform is planned
to remove what remains of resistance to the Blair line.
In
the remote event of a Government defeat there, legislation is imposed
ruthlessly using the Parliament Acts.
We now have, effectively a single-chamber
parliament.
Meanwhile,
our non-political institutions have been corrupted. The Police, once universally respected for their effectiveness
and fairness, have become an instrument of social engineering, with chief
constables falling over themselves in sycophancy to the Government.
The
fight against crime has taken second place to the implementation of policies on
‘inclusiveness’ for ethnic minorities and homosexuals. This is not least because ambitious officers
know they will not prosper without toeing the New Labour Home Office line.
The
BBC after a rare burst of independence over the death weapons expert Dr David Kelly
is far more compliant with the Labour ‘project’. Its institutional Leftism is
apparent in the daily tone of much of its news and current affairs coverage.
Its
political editor is an unashamed Blairite.
Once-great newspapers of record are also degraded by their toadying
regard for Mr Blair and his philosophy.
AND
NOT least of the things sullied by Mr Blair is the honours system: not just in
the way peerages have been awarded, but in the shameless manipulation of the
system to provide gongs to low-rent celebrities to impress certain elements of
the public.
Such
is the casualness with which Mr Blair has treated the Queen that even she, as
the font of honour, appears to have no influence over these matters than over anything
else ‘her’ Government does.
But
then the presidential project cannot allow for a rival head of state, so Her
Majesty had to be taught her place. The
Monarchy has been damaged, like every other important institution in Britain,
because of Mr Blair’s arrogance and disregard for the old checks and balances.
Sadly,
the shocking way he behaved over the Attorney General’s advice was more than
just indicative of his own character flaws.
It was the inevitable consequence of the destruction of our
constitutional conventions.
If Mr Blair
remains in power, his corruption of our great institutions will continue
relentlessly. Our liberties will continue to vanish as his power mushrooms.
And the once-proud
boast that the British way of government is an example to the world will be
merely a sick joke.

THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE
RENUNCIATION of EU CITIZENSHIP
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Optout
Details from petition creator
With the signing of the Maastricht Treaty the
people of Britain were given
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
-both
EUROPEAN and BRITISH
The extra tier of citizenship was thrust upon
the people without their consent -and in many cases knowledge.
The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be allowed
the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The
GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted out with
BRITISH DOCUMENTATION
-only such as British (not EU) passports,
driving licences and other national documents.
EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who
HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP

YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH.
WILL THIS CHRISTMAS QUEEN'S SPEECH
BE THE
LAST IN A FREE INDEPENDENT ENGLAND -SCOTLAND AND
WALES?
Will HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ASSURE YOU
THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM BECOMING A PROVINCE OF EUROPE.
OR
WILL THE QUEEN MAKE IT PLAIN THAT OUR
FREE INDEPENDENT NATION STATE IS SACROSANCT BUT THAT IF THE PEOPLE WISH
TO BECOME SLAVES -THEN A REFERENDUM THERE MUST BE.
WE BELIEVE THAT NO ENGLISHMAN SHOULD BE
ASKED WHETHER HE WISHES TO BE A SLAVE OR FREE!
THIS CHRISTMAS WE WILL FIND OUT IF OUR
PROTECTOR OF THE
'Rights and Liberties'
of
Englishmen
Will keep by HER SACRED OATH
or the MONARCHY be nothing more than
a
THEME PARK in the future
THIS IS THE TIME FOR BLUNT SPEAKING AS
THE VERY EXISTENCE OF OUR UNIQUE NATION STATE IS IN DIRE PERIL.
We are told on
the BBC (Brussels Broadcasting Service) at 11.30 pm on Saturday the
23rd December, 2007, that the QUEEN now has a website which has footage
of the Royal Family in the past and that the QUEEN is NOT
'Stuck in the past'
Well! as far as many patriotic subjects
are concerned we need to remain in the PAST when it concerns the
protection of our
FREEDOM and COUNTRY.
Change we have had and will continue to
have but it must not threaten our very WAY-OF-LIFE our Common Law of
England and all which makes our country the most unique parliamentary
democracy in the world.
THERE CAN BE NO SURRENDER!
Should the Monarch fail to protect our
inherited RIGHTS and Liberties then we shall have to fight for a
REPUBLIC as happened in the 17th century because the Monarch of the day
ignored those very
'Rights and Liberties of Englishmen'
which will still survive in the English Speaking World today in December
2007. How can the MOTHER of PARLIAMENTS give away what is already our
and our children's INHERITANCE which cannot be taken away by
PARLIAMENT or the QUEEN.
If the above publicity exercise is to
be used to soften the impact to the population of the BETRAYAL of their
CONSTITUTION and COUNTRY then it would be the greatest TREASON by a
Monarch since James II who wished to sell our COUNTRY to the FRENCH for
MONEY and RELIGION.
WE ASK WHAT
PRICE ARE OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES WORTH?
THEY ARE
PRICELESS!
*
*
The Choice is Yours!-but time is
running out FAST!
6 months to be EXACT!

THE EU
WE-AND
THEM!
WE are

THEY are
not joining US
WE have more to LOSE
THEY have
more to GAIN

dictators from EUROPE for most of our HISTORY

been cursed with that abomination for most of their HISTORY and NOW!

MESSAGE TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH
THE II
*
We now learn
from the Daily Mail COMMENT on Christmas Eve that the Queen's Speech
will cover the catastrophic fall in Values and Moral behaviour since the
beginning of her 56 -year reign. This has been brought about by the
actions of HER MINISTERS and the greater number of those in HER
PARLIAMENT who have placed THEIR CONCERNS before the INTERESTS of THE
PEOPLE and NATION STATE.
As for the
fact that HER PEOPLE feel LOST that has been the direct result of the
actions of HER SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS and the TRAITOROUS POLITICIANS
including PRIME MINISTERS who have stealthily over the 56 years of HER
MAJESTY'S REIGN have almost achieved their aim of ENSLAVING the PEOPLE
to a FOREIGN POWER.
The reason for
the marked drop in the number viewing THE QUEEN'S SPEECH is no doubt
because the mass of people have realised years ago that the MONARCH is
powerless to PROTECT their WAY-OF-LIFE and events up to now have PROVED
THEM CORRECT.
There is a well know saying
'Nero fiddled while Rome burned'
Is it the case on Christmas Day 2007 while the Monarch
talks our Rights and Liberties are being taken from us under our very
noses?
Of course the QUEEN under HER CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE can
only 'Advise and Warn' HER MINISTERS but when the matter concerns
the very LIFE of an INDEPENDENT STATE we expect that HER MAJESTY
consider the arrangement to be AT AN END as it would make a MOCKERY of
the PRIME IMPORTANCE of the MONARCH to protect our inherited Rights and
Liberties which HER MINISTERS are endeavouring TO GIVE AWAY.
We as loyal
subjects of the MONARCH who is the living embodiment of OUR RIGHTS and
LIBERTIES ask at this late stage with only months to the eradication of
a FREE NATION STATE some veiled comments that HER MAJESTY will PROTECT
our RIGHTS and LIBERTIES.
As for the
MORAL tone of the NATION STATE at this most crucial time in ENGLISH
CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY this matter should be left to CHURCH LEADERS
who's responsibility it is to CARE for their FLOCKS particularly at this
FESTIVAL of CHRISTMAS.
IF HER
MAJESTY'S SPEECH has not been pre-recorded we ask HER MAJESTY to give
those MILLIONS of HER subjects some hope that their PROTECTOR has NOT
FORGOTTEN THEM.
Should
this APPEAL not be answered we can at last confirm that the MONARCHY is
after all nothing more than a talking shop suitable for YouTube and
therefore nothing more than a
THEME PARK

A
CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
TO
ALL OUR
VIEWERS.
WE WISH YOU ALL A
HAPPY
CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY
NEW YEAR
IN
2008
[Since our
Xmas message to you all last year we find
that our sentiments remain the same with the
added emphasise on the coming danger to YOUR
COUNTRY from those many traitors in YOUR
HOUSE of COMMONS who intend to sell YOUR
COUNTRY to a FOREIGN POWER]
We Remember The
Year 2006
The
Spirit of England-Winston Churchill-1953
[We
were warned in 1953 to beware of wreckers of
our Constitution and Way-of- Life but it had
taken Tony Blair just 10 years to do just
THAT while everyone had their minds they
thought on more important matters. Well! in
2007 his predessessor Gordon Brown is
leading you to SLAVERY and only awaits the
final signature of the present holder of the House of Wessex the over 1000 year
PROTECTOR of our inherited
RIGHTS and LIBERTIES of ENGLISHMEN
HER
MAJESTY-THE QUEEN
Of the House
of Wessex since King Alfred 'the Shepherd
and Darling of England' in the annals of 893
-897
'We still
leave it to the work of
Alfred the Great
that
England was saved to become the first
individual nation -state which over 1100
years later a member of that same House of
Wessex has already signed away much of those
ancient Rights and Liberties and
fundamentals of justice and Rule of Law and
only awaits a final signature to enslave her
people into a despotic undemocratic godless
police state to call itself a
UNITED STATES
OF EUROPE
It is
within the power of Her Majesty the Queen to
refuse to ratify the New EU TREATY because
whatever lies her ministers have given her
over her long reign the TRUTH is now clear
for ALL TO SEE.
In the
Netherlands a number of years ago their
MONARCH resigned for a day rather than sign
the Bill put before him. The New EU TREATY
is the death of a NATION STATE of over 1200
years in the making. It is the treasonable
actions of HER MINISTERS which has placed
THE QUEEN in the forefront in the protection
of the Rights and Liberties of HER SUBJECTS
as on no one else can HER PEOPLE DEPEND.
GOD SAVE
THE QUEEN
