tony blair r.i.p.

I’m watching poli­ti­cal melt­down, live on TV as I write this. The current Bri­tish Govern­ment seems to be com­mi­ting sui­cide in front of our eyes for no appa­rent rea­son, other than the usual Labour Party fac­tio­nal self-loathing death­wish thing they pull off every cou­ple of deca­des or so. Fun to watch.
I bet ever­yone at the BBC is run­ning around like head­less chic­kens.
[UPDATE:] Blair set to out­line quit plans

Pres­sure is moun­ting on Mr Blair to reveal when he will resign.
Tony Blair is expec­ted to out­line his plans for lea­ving office, after eight junior mem­bers of the govern­ment quit in pro­test at his leadership.

    I’m a bit behind. I just loo­ked at the untit­led pyra­mid and the drop­ping know­ledge site. Whoa.
    I only recog­nize one name on the whole list.
    I rea­lize I’m an uncul­tu­red Ame­ri­can but WTF?
    WHo the hell are these peo­ple and why do I care what they say? Exactly.

    Blair = Pre­si­dent of USA’s 52nd State for­merly known as Uni­ted King­dom. Now refe­rred to as Nanny State.
    Brown = Fer­vent Trotsk­yite who wants to change Nanny State to Socia­list Rip-off State of Brown Stuff (we call it crap)
    Others = unim­por­tant back­ground noise

    All things come to an end. The poli­ti­cal cli­mate in the U.K has been boi­ling over for years, now the world gets to see the fall out.
