Is Blair a psychpath?

DOWNING Street was embarrassed last night after a frank account of the tantrums and cynicism of Tony Blair’s inner circle were published in the diaries of a former No 10 aide. The prime minister’s office censored parts of the diaries, the first memoirs from a No 10 spin doctor.

Lance Price, a former deputy to Alastair Campbell, reveals in his book, The Spin Doctor’s Diary, that:

Blair privately seemed to “relish” sending British forces to Iraq as his “first blooding”, while publicly claiming he did it “with a heavy heart”.

The prime minister angrily referred to the “f****** Welsh” when an election in the principality was going against Labour.

Blair made up policies on the hoof with his spin doctors, sometimes minutes before appearing on television.

Price, a former BBC reporter who is a close friend of Peter Mandelson, worked in No 10 from 1998 to 2001. He claims that the media was bullied, browbeaten and bribed with favours to report Labour favourably and that the BBC reveals its questions in advance to Blair at press conferences in return for their reporters being chosen to ask their questions first.

My god. I am not expert on mental health but if someone relishes declaring war I am pretty sure they need to be put in an insane asylum.

Do we really want this man governing us?

Also the fact that the media was bullied, browbeaten and bribed with favours to report Labour favourably shows what I have been saying for many months on this blog about the media. The media are infact in the pocket of Labour. How can we get our media back?

I am sure that we are going to be hearing more about Blair's corruption and no doubt it will be in the Sunday papers most of the time as Blair controls the press. So much for a free press.
