Mr. Blair's deadline
Midnight on the 30th June, warned our steel-willed Prime Minister, eas the final deadline for an agreement on the decommissioning of terrorist weapons, which would save the Ulster 'Peace Process'. Well, July 1st duly dawned, without SinnFein/IRA having handed over a single bullet or an ounce of Semtex. In fact, the authorities' decision to begin to issue firearms certificates to SinnFein/IRA councillors means that the republican arsenal is now set to grow still further, rather than shrink!
And what was the response of tough Mr. Blair to the refusal of Gerry Adams and his merry band of psychopaths to meet his 'final deadline'? The world held its breath waiting for decisive action from the man who led the charge to flatten Serbia when its legitimate government refused to allow another gang of terrorists to take over part of its country and force out the last of its rightful inhabitants.
And we waited, and we waited, and we waited. Until Mr. Blair duly announced that the talking would continue as if the 'final deadline' had never existed, and went on to tell the Unionists how they could trust a promise from the terrorist-Godfather Adams that the IRA would disarm at some stage in the future.
Nothing must be allowed to get in the way of Blair's phoney 'Peace Process' - neither the passing of absolute deadlines, nor the continuation of republican punishment beatings, nor reports by the security services warning of IRA preparations for a new bombing offensive, nor even the capture of known IRA men with a primed bomb.
The Prime Minister's steel-willed resolve is exposed yet again as a sham. Oh yes, he's tough enough when the enemies are Serbian civilians, or Ulster loyalists who simply want to uphold the peaceful traditions which form part of their British identity. Tough, in other words, on people who don't fit in with the plans of the liberal enthusiasts for a New World Order.
But when it comes to dealing with the real enemies of Britain, Mr. Blair's steely resolve simply melts away. This is a fact, which seems to puzzle many conservative commentators but, in fact, there is no mystery in it at all. You see Mr. Blair is himself an enemy of Britain. Why should he get tough with the IRA, when he shares their basic aims?
