Hail, Tony Blair, President of Europe by the grace of Gordon
Here it comes – President of Europe Tony Blair. Gordon Brown and the Government are now openly backing Blair to become European President, as soon as the Lisbon Treaty comes into force and the hugely remunerated jobs for the boys can be discreetly allocated in the smoke-free rooms of Brussels. The one small formality delaying that frabjous day is the result of the Irish referendum on October 2 when it is confidently assumed all those thick Paddies who put their crosses in the wrong box last time out will get it right this time.
The announcement of the Government’s let’s-get-behind-Tony stance was made by Baroness Kinnock (she is the one who did not fall in the sea in the opening sequence of Spitting Image), Europe Minister and former crusader against the Common Market: there is more joy in Brussels over one sceptic that repenteth… “The UK government is supporting Tony Blair’s candidature for President of the Council,” she told journalists in Strasbourg today. Lady Kinnock was keen to emphasise that what made Blair particularly attractive to the Government was his “strength of character”. Right on. “Hey – look – I mean – come on – I’m a pretty straight sort of guy”…
It was that strength of character that saw him through the character assassination attempt that was the Bernie Ecclestone affair; through the purblind scepticism of all the fools who doubted the existence of weapons of mass destruction; through the cash for honours debacle. Today the invader of Iraq is a neutral arbitrator in the Middle East. Strength of character. But now, Europe beckons and it is hardly to be doubted that Tony will answer the call.
When you think of it, is this not the supreme example of a square peg in a square hole? Blair and the EU were made for each other. Considering the last time we had anything equivalent to a President of Europe it was Adolf Hitler, there is a definite congruence to this proposed appointment. Tony does not brook contradiction. When it comes to lavish salaries and perks, tortured rhetoric and weasel vocabulary to bamboozle the plebs, sensible economy with that expensive commodity, the truth; and an invincible conviction about what is best for other people – Tony does all that to perfection.
But it goes beyond those mere technical qualifications. It is a question of one man’s ability to personify in himself all the attributes and aspirations of the European Union; and Blair might have been put on earth to do just that. Ask yourself, in all honesty, can you think of any other individual who more completely embodies all the characteristics to be discerned in the dark, maggot-swarming heart of the European Union? Especially an ineradicable contempt for Britain, its people and traditions. This is destiny at work. This embrace of the Great Charlatan by the Brussels hydra is a marriage made in heaven; or, perhaps more accurately, in hell. All hail, President Blair!
