THE MEGALOMANIA OF PRIME MINISTER BLAIR

Dateline: 3rd October 2001

In recent speeches Prime Minister Blair has taken to emphasising the word ‘community’. When he talked of local communities he claimed to speak for such communities nationwide. And yet at the last election after 4 years of his care a very small percentage of the electorate even voted at all, and only about 25% of the voting population voted for him.

When he speaks grandiosely of the “superpower” European Community he forgets that within that community are less than one third of the nations of Europe.

When he blew the trumpet for the attack on Yugoslavia he claimed to speak for the International Community but the world’s three largest countries (Russia, China and India) vociferously condemned the attack.

Despite great difficulties in assembling a coalition to wage war on Blair’s highly selected “terrorists” he rants on about solving a myriad international problems that concern him in the name of the World Community.

This grotesque progression of “communities” smacks of megalomania.
