Tony Blair
has had the unique privilege of writing his
own political obituary.
Such is his
desperation to prevent the inexorable progress of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership
campaign that he seeks to deploy the authority he believes he still has (even
if, as he puts it, “we hate him”).
Tony!
We no longer
hate you.
We don’t
even pity you.
We don’t
think about you any more.
When you, as
Prime Minister, pressed ahead with unjustifiable tuition fees, introduced
foundation hospitals to bring privatisation to our NHS and – above all – led us
into an unjust war, then we noticed you and disapproved of you.
Since you
ceased to be Prime Minister you have shown your true colours as a money-grubbing,
attention-seeking wannabe celebrity. It is you yourself who has diminished
the legacy you might have had by taking payments without
any sense of propriety.
Our neoliberal Ozymandis just doesn't get it.

I hate him and Brown and Purnell and reeves with something of a vengeance but that's me a disabled person.
