Odious ogre officially outed II...

---

Yes, the II in the blog post title because the first (Odious ogre officially outed; only oblocutor O'Donnell obnubilates...) was back in 2011. Arch vampire and actor supreme* Blair, the destroyer of the UK with his decade or more of damage - continued by the Brownstuff - that was New Labour, is castigated but unpunished. Decried but not even a slapped wrist in the offing. A non apology and with the gall to say - with the evidence of the gross failure now spread worldwide [11th anniversary today] - he would do it all again.



Funnily enough back then it was hardly reported, I wrote: "A reader contributes...

If you can't understand the title it means that at last Blair is being outed over the Iraq War lies and the intentional misleading of parliament. The smoking gun is in view, the evidence is now before the Chilcott Inquiry: big news but not particularly interesting to the MSM apparently because hardly anyone seems to be giving 'sufficient' coverage or column inches that the former Attorney General Lord Goldsmith's evidence deserves. I guess these days any day is "a good day to bury bad news". 



One who did report it [Stephen Glover that day's Daily Mail] ""At last, the damning evidence that should bury Blair for his lies over Iraq".

Unfortunately, Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O’Donnell has banned the Inquiry from releasing records of secret talks between Tony Blair and President George W. Bush...

Apart from the seeming lack of interest in giving Blair his comeuppance I also note that nobody seems to be mentioning Gordon Brown either; cunts. It is as though he has been airbrushed from history and all the problems the UK faces are now the evil Coalition's fault."



Yes, as usual BBC were being very coy because  back then they were still in crush-Coalition mode; the lack of coverage was overshadowed by what became a non-story; two days after the Blair news I wrote about the Guardian and BBC 'overreaction' to the Coulson hacking 'scandal' and how "Incredibly, on their UK News page there are 5 MORE articles (only the main story is as per the Home News page)...and note how the Blair news (and everything else!) is demoted... ...and somewhat appropriate following Peter Sisson's comments:
"In the later stages of my career, I lost count of the number of times I asked a producer for a brief on a story, only to be handed a copy of The Guardian and told 'it's all in there'".

Of course very different today...ahem.

* just a reminder to those who may think yesterday's performance was genuine; well, the performance was genuine as befitting one of such lying talent, the emotions shown were not.

Outing Osborne & other obscurantists...

From Dan Hannan: 'Extraordinary'...Germany's Federal Minister of Finance 'admits he only threatened to exclude us from the market because George Osborne asked him to'! Also, "Another line added to the truth & reconciliation table..." From 'Liberal Leaver' Roland Smith @whitewednesday on Twitter. Also author of the Liberal case for Leave: "a global, outward-looking and ambitiously positive" Brexit vision. The other line being Nigel Farage resigning as leader of UKIP today, totally at odds with what Remain threatened.

[edited 11 a.m.] Today marks the start date, 100 years ago, of the Battle of the Somme (The Somme Offensive). The absolute horror of the First World War, if not realised when reading details, is brought home when we look at the numbers of dead and wounded.



The irony of the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Kovel-Stanislav (better known as the Brusilov Offensive, where the Russians, at the request of the French, opened up another front to the east against Austria-Hungary) was that the intention was to relieve the valiant French at the hell of Verdun (which itself lasted for 10 months and became the longest battle in human history, with more than 300,000 deaths and up to 700,000 wounded). “Hell cannot be so terrible as this. Humanity is mad; it must be mad to do what it is doing.”, anonymous French soldier.



In the Brusilov Offensive casualties and deaths were at least a million and a half. At the Somme the length of battle was less than 5 months; on the first DAY 19,240 British soldiers lost their lives (the bloodiest day in the whole history of the British army). [edited 03/07] The deaths and wounded from all nations by November totaled between 950 thousand and one million...one MILLION dead or wounded... These three offensives (in both senses of the word!) were the worst in pure numbers of dead and wounded - and all were in 1916 - but made up a few of dozens of battles or operations in WWI with deaths and casualties in the tens/hundreds of thousands; the two battles of Marne and the three at Ypres also account for over 800 thousand and 900 thousand casualties respectively.

Only oldies?...

The old shouldn't be allowed to vote? WTF? "Of course, barely concealed contempt for the working classes, particularly the white poor, is nothing new to social media or the liberal press. But, the all-out attacks on senior citizens post-referendum has shocked many." Who are the morons suggesting such things? They are:

Headlines in the Europhile press have included: “How old people have screwed over the younger generation” from the Independent, and "EU Referendum Results: Young 'Screwed By Older Generations'…" from the Huffington Post.
VICE gave us: [...] "Brexit Proves Baby Boomers Should Get Less of a Vote".
GQ Magazine went all out, producing: "WE SHOULD BAN OLD PEOPLE FROM VOTING". Writing about “them” as if the older generations are some foreign species, the reasons given by the author included:

The above section quoted from Liam Deacon at Breitbart. Those writing the linked articles are seriously deluded or don't have a good sense of humour (I think they actually mean what they have written which pretty much makes them pretty low specimens.) How about a better idea?

BE SENSIBLE: DON'T GIVE TEENAGERS A VOTE. 

WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY KNOW?

This idea isn't new: "Admit it, an 18 year-old shouldn't be allowed to vote". "Even the French classical liberal economist Frédéric Bastiat – no proponent of obtrusive government – warned that unbridled voting rights would lead to disaster.Writing in his famous essay 'The Law,' Bastiat noted that exclusions to voting are justified because “it is not the voter alone who suffers the consequences of his vote; because each vote touches and affects everyone in the entire community; because the people in the community have a right to demand some safeguards concerning the acts upon which their welfare and existence depend." [edit] "Bastiat was, at the time (mid-19th century), writing about children and women."



Mitrailleuse adds: "Kids don’t have the mental capacities or own enough assets to be fully vested in society."  Indeed! he's on about the USA but it still applies. [LINK]



By the way, why are they all using the unusually large 25-49 age group? It isn't so clear cut:
