| Tony Blair in Wandsworth | | 2008-06-27 05:09:38 | | A few historical posts today. Keep writing in with those suggestions for the book. Some research this week revealed Tony Blair on Wandsworth's/Battersea South's electoral role for 1980.
With Blair trying to make a name for himself as a high-flying legal eagle, he spent a few years in the Tonsleys where he was living with Charles Falconer, soon to be a Lord and later to be among the band of Tony's Cronies. | | By: The Wandsworth Companion | | |
| | | Tony Blair caught out as fare dodger! | | 2008-04-24 14:41:07 | | He had a lame excuse. He doesn't carry money, or at least not this time. However, the guard on the Heathrow Express allowed him to carry on, as someone paid up for him. OK for some. The press have had a field day, pointing out the ironies of it all. But I like the overseas press the best, especially The Hindu. This is what they think of "the 54-year-old mega-rich Middle East envoy"!Tony Blair may have earned millions since leaving office last year but when it came to paying his own train fare, the former British Prime Minister was found short of cash. The 54-year-old mega-rich Middle East envoy recently jumped on the Heathrow Express which allows passengers to buy a ticket on board.But when the ticket collector came round to first class, a red-faced Blair could not cough up the 24.50 pounds fare as he did not have enough cash in his wallet, the 'Daily Star' reported on Wednesday.However, he was bailed out by a co-passenger who paid the fare to save the blushes of the former British Pre | | By: A View from Middle England by Arden Forester | | |

| Tony Blair has called for a "global environment revolution" | | 2008-03-16 06:20:00 | | The former prime minister has been joining international experts on climate change in a bid to drive forward efforts to reduce global carbon emissions.Mr Blair said: "We have reached the critical moment of decision on climate change. There are few if any, genuine doubters left."Even on the mildest application of the precautionary principles, failure to act on climate change now would be deeply and unforgivably irresponsible."

| | Create Palestine now, says international peace envoy, Tony Blair | | 2008-03-16 03:17:00 | | The thinking was: You get a deal and all falls into place. But, Blair notes, no deal was ever cut. Unlike the Good Friday Agreement over Northern Ireland, the only agreement has been to agree to reach an agreement.So the former British prime minister is seeking to replay the original music. The way forward, he argues, is not to try to cut a deal on an agreement first: "For the Palestinian state to succeed, you need to start getting the reality of that state on the ground before political negotiations can be meaningful. The state is not about an agreement, but about Palestinian capabilities in handling security and their economy."Every Palestinian-Israeli peace effort has been killed off by the sound of war. It's been as if violence is irremediably built in to peace-making. Instead of the elusive agreement, all the two peoples have come to expect is a never-ending cacophony of terror, mayhem and hopelessness.

| | Tony Blair Telling It Like It Is | | 2007-07-02 16:55:00 | | Tony Blair:‘The idea that as a Muslim in this country that you don’t have the freedom to express your religion or your views, I mean you’ve got far more freedom in this country than you do in most Muslim countries’…‘The reason we are finding it hard to win this battle is that we’re not actually fighting it properly. We’re not actually standing up to these people and saying, “It’s not just your methods that are wrong, your ideas are absurd. Nobody is oppressing you. Your sense of grievance isn’t justified.’…‘When I’m trying to change the law in order to make it easier to deport people who engage in terrorism — the idea that that’s an assault on hundreds of years of British civil liberties is completely absurd. Some of what is written on this is loopy-loo in its extremism.’When are we going to understand that we have the same problems emerging here?

| | Shilpa says that Tony Blair is very sweet! | | 2007-03-07 23:06:00 | | Shilpa Shetty, who’s suddenly graduated from being a Bollywood ‘item girl’ to become the winner of Celebrity Big Brother and an icon in the UK, recently paid a visit to Westminste (House of Commons) during the Prime Minister’s Question Time – to meet political leaders. And word is out that British MP’s fell over themselves trying to meet the sultry siren. Prime Minister Tony Blair, with whom she exchanged pleasantries, was “very sweet” said Shilpa at a press conference held later. What’s more, Blair presented her with a portrait of the House of Commons, signed by him and wife Cherie. At the same press conference, someone even asked her what the was the difference between the House of Commons and the Big Brother House (where all the action – racism related and otherwise – took place during the course of the reality show). Never at a loss for words, she shot back: “They are way polite in there (at the House of Commons), they get to leave and they know what’s goi | | By: IIPM-World | | |
