Tony Blair nouvelle vague

Aboard a cheap Ryanair flight and fresh from a holiday in Italy , a visit to Pope Benedict with Cherie and a meeting with PM Prodi to discuss the withdrawal of Italian troops from Iraq, The Boy Tony returned to London. He swiftly settled back in No 10 by acting indulging in Downing Street's first ever hi-tech interactive video infotainment broadcast online when he handled questions by the Guradian's obsequious masterly and intelligent Michael White and the Daily Mail's perfectly formed Sarah Sands - with the the carefully edited and selected distillation of 600 questions claimed to be selected from around the country Transcript here

Sarah Sands:

What happened at Forest Gate, which is one mile from where I live?"

Prime Minister:

"Well first of all we don't yet know, and I think we should be very, very wary of drawing conclusions. But my view again is absolutely clear. I support the police 101%, and the Security Services. I think if they have a reasonable piece of intelligence that they think that they have got to investigate and take action on, they should. And you can only imagine, if they failed to take action and something terrible happened, what outcry there would be then. So they are in an impossible situation, and my view is, you know I know Andy Hayman, and Eliza Manningham-Buller, the people who front up our services very well, they are absolutely top rate professionals, they should be given support in getting on with the job, and I wouldn't draw any conclusions from Forest Gate at the moment frankly."

Which deconstructed means ...er " we don't yet know" ... days after mobilising 700 police, fleets of specialists etc., etc., etc., we still haven't a fucking clue ... how do you expect me to tell you about it ? Anyway I know Andy and Eliza personally and they are top rate professionals... er

Sarah Sands:
... successful operation though, there is some sort of concern about competence ...

Prime Minister:

Yes, but I think, well first of all, as I say, I wouldn't draw any conclusions about this particular Forest Gate incident at the moment. (UNtil we have destroyed the evidence, swept it all under the carpet etc.,)

Michael White:

The house in Forest Gate is not as big as Iraq, and they have searched it for two or three days, they appear to have drawn a blank, however honourable the motives.

Prime Minister:

Yes, but let's just wait and see, (Ideally I guess for about 5 years at least) there may be a whole series of things that they need to look into in relation to that. ( On the other hand of course they may be absolutley zero to find, like those pesky WMD's that take 45 minutes to launch Arnmageddon in Iraq)

It would be interesting to know how many people watched this PR bullshit live ... after all this is a figure that can be determined precisely.... and of course where from, and probably who. One thing is certain , if they wanted to know more about the total fuck up in Forest Gate 1 mile from where the perfumed Sarah Sands lives they were left none the wiser.... and certainly not feeling any safer.
