Look out Europe, Tony Blair is circling unnoticed high above your heads like a vulture soaring on the thermals created by the hot air that constantly rises from Brussels. However, it is not a little insignificant road-kill that has caught his attention but the hearty carcass of Europe’s figurehead position.
Having resigned as the British Prime Minister last year, when he finally realised his Presidential life-style and constant posturing would never result in him becoming King, he has now set his sights on the nomination for the European Presidency and having recently received the backing of his unofficial cheerleader Nicolas Sarkozy it only remains for Angela Merkel to overcome the opposition from her left-wing coalition members, who see him as a outright warmonger, and the backroom deal is done.
The five-year Presidential post comes into force next January as part of the new Constitution and the leaders of the EU’s 27 states will decide upon the appointment this year, but with the backing of the EU’s two dominant players, Germany and France, who most certainly possess the considerable clout required to impose their will on the lesser states Mr. Blair has now become the firm favourite to occupy this inaugural position.
Our Tony probably didn’t need to be told to expect some resistance from our own Prime Minister Gordon Brown who must now be a quivering wreck having finally wrested the Premiership from his rival he now faces the prospect of welcoming President Blair to Downing Street for tea, biscuits and a friendly chat! The British press core will love it with every statement from London or Brussels being carefully scrutinised to expose any new tension or conflict emerging from their false fragile friendship.
With the announcement today from the Swiss financial giant Zurich that Mr. Blair is to become their £2 million pound a year advisor on climate change and the trends of the international political environment he now seems to be hawking himself around the globe with a ‘for sale’ sign hanging around his neck having already secured a £2.5 million a year advisory role for the Wall Street investment bank JP Morgan, a £5 million advance on his awaited memoirs plus the numerous ‘After Dinner’ speaking engagements in America rumoured to be £1 million every time he picks up the telephone. His £150,000 Prime Ministers pension and UK taxpayer’s funded office costs must only now count as ‘petty cash’.
With his current unpaid roles as a Middle East envoy and advisor to Rwanda seemingly not providing the limelight his ego desires the £200,000 a year on offer for the European Presidency and the ‘celebrity status’ position it will surely carry will put our former leader ‘Teflon Tony’ back into the spotlight he craves, but just beware fellow Europeans as you glance up from your morning coffee and are bewitched by at that dazzling million dollar smile and those sparkling ‘purley whites’ for here in the UK we had 10 years of unrelenting spin, mirrors and worthless rhetoric as you will soon discover his promises are seldom meaningful and are more often just hollow promises, a typical politician you may say but sadly this man knows no shame.
