personally i am ready to agree with much of the above.
It is interesting though considering this.
Blair has announced anti-bullying campaigns.
Which with hindsight may have stemmed from his daughter.
Moving on david Blunkett iniated many new laws and used several of them himself when he sued for paternity. And i have noticed many labour ministers have brought in laws and most have personally benefited from them.
Blair bringing in the european human rights act when his wife was the owner of the only firm of barrasters that specialised in the law. The public are being taken for mugs by the new labour mafia.
Think back to what you and i regard as news.
Blair a former member of CND. Now a rabid warmonger.
George Bush charged and tried for rape. Still president.
John Reid former communist. Now right wing fascist.
The green party formerly environmentalists now in favour of everything new labour including nuclear.
ps if anyone thinks i am making up the george bush rape story or has not heard of it due to media censorship.
Margie Schoedinger of Missouri City, Texas filed charges on December 2, 2002 accusing George W. Bush of rape and other crimes. On September 22, 2003, at the age of 38, she died of a 'gunshot wound to the head', and her death was officially registered as 'suicide' by the Harris County Examiners Office.
Now call me a sceptic but i think that is a story that should have been HUGE
you see a pattern emerging?
I've never heard a thing about this story and I'm sure the majority of the planet hasn't either, and I'd have to see it from an official source before I'd believe a word of it.
Where did you get the story from, and what pattern are you taking about? You're very unclear, and dropping innuendos with no proof is worse than reading News of the World.
i think i've changed my mind on this, i think i mean i'm still glad they didn't, because i don't think its right for a few reasons ( for his daughter or anyone in that state of mind ), but they should have done, because they do it to all the others. if the media think its acceptable to do it to anyone, then that rule should apply to everyone - especially someone who puts himself up as prime minister
imagine this story, but swap tony blair for any other politician , say even one we all know, and you all know the media would have covered it so so differently ...
this story just kinda confirms what we all know, the media supports power
interesting story karl, where did you hear about that? i'm off to google it ...

pravda is a international news source so the story must be true. I am not saying the rape because i have not studied the case but the fact that he was accused of it and charges were filed until the accuser ended up dead apparantly by suicide. The fact that you did not here about it proves my point about complicity of media to protect their own buddies.
apparantly what i did discover which was never disputed was that george bush had dated her when she was a teenager
if that had been the leader of an anti war movement the story would have been wall to wall as the previous poster correctly states
Blair has announced anti-bullying campaigns.
Which with hindsight may have stemmed from his daughter.
Anti-bullying campaigns are taking place in many places around the west now. We're having a big movement in many school districts to put in place bully prevention and bullying penalities that were not there before.
This stems more from the fact that rises in student violence has caused more research and the research is showing that bullying effects kids in highly adverse ways and doesn't "build character" and other crap like that.
His moving towards anti-bullying is something that is common trend and as a school employee and a victim of bullies as a child I am glad that people are taking notice and trying to solve this problem in schools.

I salute you. I agree with the anti-bullying campaighn. But when did it start? Her attempted suicide was 2004. President Blair assended to the throne in 1997.
I know for a fact that the anti-bullying campaign started mid/late 2005.

You know Karl, I think we've all had enough comments between all of us here going back and forth to clearly say that we don't all agree.... that's what this whole site is about. I'm gathering that you really won't feel comfortable until everyone has the same opinion as you----- and if I'm wrong on this, so be it. But I personally won't agree no matter how many other stories you post.
The fact that you did not here about it proves my point about complicity of media to protect their own buddies.
It doesn't prove much of anything really, and all links leading to the story from any reputable news source are dead. Is this some giant cover-up?
Sure there are loads of links on it but they're mostly blogs etc and nothing concrete with any proof whatsoever.
Now don't get me wrong here. I'm most definitely not trying protect or stick up for George Bush in any way, shape or form because I think he's the worst piece of vermin put on the planet, but when I read things like this I can't honestly believe them until I've proof. Then and only then could I make a logical response.

It's been slowing moving it's way into schools since the early 90s but it's been the last four to five years that schools have actually looked towards implementing such programs as district wide policies. It was spurred on by things like the Columbine High School Masacre in 1999. That's when a lot of the studies really started getting funding and people starting looking towards school violence and bullying studies.
It's now 2007 and our district is still looking at putting one in place. So in all honesty he's on target with most places.
Perhaps some people might find this document from the World Health Organization interesting since we're on the topic of "celebrity suicide".
Interestingly enough, they point out the following:
Quote:
Sensational coverage of suicides should be assiduously avoided, particularly when a
celebrity is involved. The coverage should be minimized to the extent possible. Any
mental health problem the celebrity may have had should also be acknowledged. Every
effort should be made to avoid overstatement. Photographs of the deceased, of the
method used and of the scene of the suicide are to be avoided. Front page headlines are
never the ideal location for suicide reports.
Is nothing sacred in the world anymore? Karl tells us that George Bush is a rapist and I'm guessing he had the woman disposed of to hide the story.
That was bad enough to keep me awake for a few extra hours tonight pondering the idea that this could possibly happen, and now I've come to find out Porky Pig is insulting Islam! I'm in bits here wondering what in hell is happening in the world.
I've heard Porky can be a bit nasty at times but that bloody pig has gone too far now! The desert fort is unfair to Arabs all over the world and I think this pig should be put to death by BBQ!
Okay I'm taking the piss here but this topic has jumped from one thing to another and I just couldn't resist.

I couldn't agree with that statement more. There's just some things that should be sacred in life.
Totally agree with that as well, the argument that Blair's daughter's problems should be splashed all over the papers because other peoples have been, should be looked at the other way round, we should be saying that those other people's privacy should have been respected as well.
