Institute This

It delivers a pitifully low pension by international standards, and even for that people will soon have to wait until beyond average male life expectancy, but the triple lock puts money in the pockets of the people who spent it, thereby injecting it into the consumer economy, and thus employing the young. The Tony Blair Institute wants to scrap it.

You know the Tony Blair Institute. It not only wants to make us all have digital ID, but it wants to make us all have its digital ID. And now, this. All attempts have failed to track down anyone whom Blair ever represented in court, so he was getting pocket money from the wife until he was parachuted into a safe seat under extremely dubious circumstances days after he had turned 30. 73 next week, his wealth is usually cited as £60 million, and never as less than £45 million.

Blair is the only British member of Donald Trump's Board of Peace. If you vote Labour, then you are voting for the party of the only British member of Trump's Board of Peace, a man who now wants to abolish the triple lock while making us all carry his digital ID. If you are a member of the Labour Party, then you are a member of the party of the only British member of Trump's Board of Peace, a man who now wants to abolish the triple lock while making us all carry his digital ID.

The ID thing, and the rest from the wars to the cuts deemed necessary to pay for them, will of course be assisted no end by the events of this week. But if Essa Suleiman "is said to have regularly attended pro-Palestinian demonstrations in London", then when were they, since until only days ago he was being held indefinitely in a secure psychiatric institution? Or, one might say, Institute.
