Fair enough. Oodles of intellect and experience to now be deployed as Blair peddles Oracle AI healthcare solutions. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
But one must remember leadership screens for narcissist and pseudo pyschopathic intellect. maybe oodles of intellect but alas lesser developed prefrontal cortex. It’s time for a computerocracy where everyone has access to a vote, where all global leaders are chipped with RFID and surveilled for their lives and finally psychopaths like Tony Blair and Valence are put away on an island on the west coast of Scotland like BARRA with lots of bars so they can’t escape. But we must remember the world has been run by psychopaths for time immemorial and nothings going to change without radical change in political science. One has to laugh at the comedy or tragedy of our leadership!
BARRA. No just to be disposed of when the tme comes. We must not be squemish about the deed. “Sometimes someone has to do what has to be done” [WS Churchill].
Should they procreate we may have more to worry about than Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It must be nice to be so wrong and cause so much damage to the UK population during the COVID pandemic, and to be rewarded so highly by climbing to the heights of the greasy pole. Knighthood, election to the Royal Society, cushy number at the TBI (a totally phony and quite frankly dangerous and scary organization).

Yesterday Phillip Pilkington wrote a piece suggesting that ‘do something-ism’ was a possible explanation for Rishi Sunak’s decision to bomb Yemen. I commented that it may have been that, but more likely it was a result of the fact that there are never any deleterious consequences for those making those decisions to do the something no matter how disastrous their consequences turn out to be. In fact they just get rewarded. The Vallance news is just another, sorry example of this. That he’s joining a group that includes Sir Nick Carter just hammers home my point given the recent (and seemingly relentless) news of our military’s hollowing-out, useless procurement and general ineptitude
Every time I see ‘TBI’, I think ‘traumatic brain injury’…

Wow … today it doesn’t seem to matter whether you succeed and make life better for your fellow humans or fail miserably or make little difference … you still get rewarded by other ‘snouts in the trough’ who were rewarded before you.
Blair should be in jail for what he did to Iraq and Britain not out hiring useless institutionalised muppets and ex socialist progressive ravers for his ego feeding machine.

Interesting that a man who told his son not to worry about catching Covid (which he did, as did his house mates) told the rest of the country something different.

could hate both?

Blair and Vallance. A marriage made in Hell !

So hats off to me everyone.
It’s all just one big club.
… and we’re not in it.
