Tony Bounces Back

Well, isn't this comforting. The Reverend Blair has sufficiently recovered from the demise of his fellow pacifier in Libya to offer his services in helping to "cement the peace in Spain", now that ETA has announced an end to its armed campaign. Tony believes that the business of weapons decommissioning and detainee processing will require an expert's touch; and by the grace of Providence Tony himself, who did such a marvellous job of claiming credit for the outbreak of peace in Ireland, has not yet been called by his Father from this earthly plane and stands ever ready to help. As always, Tony's diction veers alarmingly between messianic tumescence and bureaucratic self-parody: "The last armed confrontation in Europe is finally over. We should all welcome this and work together to make peace irreversible", and this shall be done by "achieving security normalisation". I wonder if the Middle East is keeping Tony busy enough.

    You used "as always" in this.

    well, as always...a line of fucking brilliance...

    "As always, Tony's diction veers alarmingly between messianic tumescence and bureaucratic self-parody"

    My hat is off to you for that one.

    The glory is not mine, but Tony's. Tony is truly the git that keeps on giving.
