Sir Tony Blair: Bloody Knight of the Realm
Awards and honours bestowed by States or private committees, republican or monarchical, are bound to be corrupted by considerations of hypocrisy, racketeering and general, chummy disposition.

In Britain, this world of subjugated news and information is concealed behind a similar façade of a “free” media, which promotes the extremisms of state corruption and war, consumerism and an impoverishment known as “austerity”.

Ariel Sharon still killing from (almost) beyond the grave By William Bowles
So even from his deathbed Ariel Sharon lives on—to kill. As I stated in ‘Just testing the waters’, the murderous terror bombing was planned months ago.
