The view from afar...

It's difficult finding news on the Times online website, unlike the Telegraph that has a button which you click and a drop down menu appears and you can pick those stories which tickle your fancy. So, I usually rely on the Fink's Comment Central to see what he has trawled from the newspapers. Not so today, the Times had four stories all about Tony Blair. 'Why?' I wondered. It was not until I read three, and got started on the fourth, did it emerge that today Blair has gone to Washington to meet his master. Sit!

It's not exactly clear from the photo, but Blair and Bush are holding hands like a pair of gay lovers. The Times headline reads "The inside story on Bush, Blair and that special relationship". Usually, a dog cocks its leg and pees on a bush. The difference here is that Bush screws dog. Well and truly screwed. Admittedly, Bush has rewarded the traitor with the US Congressional Gold Medal of Honour for his war crimes. However, the Blair poodle won't fetch it and bring it back. He fears the wrath of his real masters.

Gordon Brown has recently been over to the States, but maintains that he desires to keep a respectable distance from being controlled by the Whitehouse. This is probably a wise move because Blair lost hell of a lot of respect by obeying Bush rather than asking what the electorate over here wanted from him. Cameron upset the Bush administration with his anti-American speech on the 5th anniversary of 9/11. Since then, the Tories have sent over a couple of envoys, first David Davis, and then George Osborne, to try and tell Bush that they are sorry and that they are really nice people after all, but Bush has snubbed both of them.

It would be a shame if at the next election the electorate voted in the Tories just because of this British/American rift. Blair has alienated the people from the Labour Party. However, it is worrying that there are secret links between some Tories and the BNP. I don't accept that the Tories have changed at all. If there is a change, it is not for the better. In the blogosphere it has emerged that a Tory/BNP link exists, and this can only be a change for the worse.
