Blair the false moderate

Tony Blair is quoted as saying the Net Zero policy steered by Ed Miliband is ‘irrational, hysterical and doomed to fail.’

What matters is not the truth, which was obvious long ago, but the narrative. Blair has said these things with only a couple of days to go before Labour gets what Northerners call a ‘threaping’ at the polls in the local council elections.

Similarly Blair the senior statesman was advising Starmer last July to be ‘tough on immigration, crime and wokeism’ as Labour List reported it.

It’s only the resistance to those things that counts. The enemy is ‘the forces of conservatism’ or in other words, the ordinary British people; people who want peace at home and abroad, the rule of law and the chance to earn a living and raise their families.

He still wants the Revolution and to prevent the possibility of small-c conservatism ever resurging. He is just applying the brakes now to make the crash quite certain; to slow down our drive to destruction so his Party doesn’t frighten the populace into an uprising.
