Tony Blair to be King of Europe?

Well, not king exactly. More president of the EU edifice, chief nosey-parker and general busybody par excellence. Apparently Lady Kinnock, gravy train expert rider, thinks Blair had the "strength of character" and "status" to take on the job. She further waffles that "People know who he is, and he could step into this new role with a lot of respect and he would be generally welcomed." Is she deluded? This is a man who has a very tenuous grasp of the truth, a man who is generally devoid of political principle and who has a mental shuffling capacity known to no other man. I say man, because Lady Kinnock seems to be prepared to follow his lead and foist this dodgy dossier developer onto the European people.

William Hague is spot on with his analysis. "Any holder (of the EU presidency) is likely to try to centralise power for themselves in Brussels and dominate national foreign policies. In the hands of an operator as ambitious as Tony Blair, that is a near certainty. He should be let nowhere near the job." Nowhere near at all. Outer space is too close!

President Blair? No thank you!
