Good news from Dublin. The blessed Tony Blair turned up at a bookshop in the Irish capital to sign copies of his newly published, self-serving, self-righteous, unapologetic autobiography published on Thursday and he was pelted with eggs and tomatoes by well-wishers. Ahhhhhhh! The pleasures of democracy. It's the simple things that provide the strongest images.
Hopefully, he will be similarly treated when he comes to the UK to push sales of the blessed book. Won't be long before the thing appears stacked up in charity shops. And still I will not buy it - not even for 10p. I am tempted to send money to charity - any charity - rather than think that he could make one penny out of his exercise in vomit inducing kitsch and self-appreciation. It is surely unacceptable to say that he feels he was right to engage in an invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and gloss over the piles of dead bodies - Allied Soldiers and Iraqi and Afghan civilians - for wars that have achieved nothing - at best. It is interesting that the wars were started by Bush and Blair, two leaders who tell us that every ridiculous decision they took was with the help of God. I am sure that Richard Dawkins will see it as more evidence of the destructive powers of religion and the God Delusion.
I will not change my view that this obnoxious man has been the worst Prime Minister in my life time - and by quite a margin. He has slagged off Gordon Brown in this book to the point of ridicule. Does he not realise that his demented tirades against a man who was his Chancellor of the Exchequer for ten years makes Blair look ridiculous. It seems that Brown will keep a dignified silence.
