A Journey by Tony Blair

[mariepuree]

I have just started reading his book. TB captured my attention right from the Acknowledgements. It is quite a hefty book so I know it is going to be an absorbing read.

I know his detractors who don't seem to have anything to do but follow him around squealing their obsenities will condemn anyone for using their free will and democratic freedom to buy it, let alone read it but alas and fortunately, we live in a free society.

I just wish TB would be left to promote his book without being hounded at every turn by these self-serving bullies who don't believe in freedom of expression for those with whom they disagree.

lol at freedom of expression for TB

lucky him to live in a regime where people are not blown up as collateral damage in a grubby financially motivated illegal war

I wouldn't give it house room personally. But then I probably wouldn't buy Myra Hindley's autobiography either. Scum is as scum does.

I am waiting to read this once DS has finished it ( he bought it, so only fair) We will do a swap as I'm currently reading Mandleson's Third Man on Kindle - I'm now wondering when Gordon will give his side of the triangle.

Greensleeves, why laugh at freedom of expression? Would you prefer it that only those that society deem worthy are allowed a voice? I think countries like Russia and China practise that. Do you think you would be able to express your disgust if we lived in one of those type of countries?

As for those tolerant regimes like the Taliban (which existed long before TB btw), women are invisible and have no voice. Be thankful that at least you can voice your disgust about TB without fear of opression and be thankful that TB has the right to express himself too. Cuts both ways.
