Where on earth do you get this extraordinary idea
that emitting platitudes while doing nothing is a
Blair invention? Is this is not what every single
human government *ever*, all the way back to the
Jericho town council, has done?


No. Most governments do nothing because this is cheapest, and people only
remember what government does for a short time, but they remember what
government costs for a long time. Therefore doing nothing is the best way to
get re-elected. But Blair, unlike previous leaders, actively wants to
destroy Britain, and has a revulsion for doing anything constructive, even
if it could be done for free.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
