* More New Labour thinking from Tony 'Baloney' Blair.
Mr Blair was interviewed over the inability of the UK to influence American thinking (as detailed in a Chatham House report) and, therefore, whats the point of the special relationship? Essentially the yanks get in a huddle, have a good laugh and all yell "pardon, didn't catch that.", also, on outings for the yanks benefit we have to pay our own expenses or as in WW II had to pay interest on a loan to buy yank tanks and boats, the most expensive tanks ever purchased, as arranged by a yank Mr W Churchill( See War Debt about to be paid off after 70 odd years). Anyway I digress.
After the 'Who knows what tomorrow may bring' thinking on nuclear weapons we now have new penetrating analysis of the special relationship from the man with a taste for american arse. This is the 'Biggest boy in the school yard' policy.
If everybody in the school yard ignores what you say because your a small spotty swot you can beef up your standing by toadying round the school bully. In return for a lot of humiliation next time your in the school yard and say 'let me play footer' the other boys instead of saying 'P*ss off Blair you t*sser', they think twice and say 'I'm sorry but we've got eleven on both teams already'.
In regard to membership of the European Union as well as advancing American policy on Europe you get listened to. This is the Tony Baloney New Labour 'Get invited to the party' policy.
This policy says if you offer to chip in large amounts of dosh to pay for the pop and sweets the other boys will let you come to the midnight feast in the house clubroom. Previously we couldn't get in the house clubroom because we were fagging for the school bully then the schoolbully thought he'd like to know what goes on but as he was in a different house he couldn't barge his way in. The solution make the fag pay all his pocket money to the cost of any parties. The house members after much tee heeing let the English in and had fun making them obey the club rules that everyone else ignored.
Its important for us to fag for the yanks and amuse the Europeans because otherwise Tony couldn't stutter and boost his enormous ego on the world stage.
