It's never too late for goodbyes
Most papers carry a big picture of the Queen and/or a celebration of her 80th birthday on their front page today. Even Blair's (now former) ever-reliable propaganda device, Page 3 chips in, as Keeley (19, from Bromley) 'thinks the Queen is fantastic for 80' and says: "She does a wonderful job and looks amazing for her age. It's incredible that the pressures of the monarchy haven't taken more of a toll."
But the Independent has instead opted to dedicate their front page to the King of Nepal, and a jolly good thing it is too; as there's a warning there for Labour candidates, even if Blair and his chums do pull up short of shooting people in the street (well, most of the time)...
Independent - A monarch willing to kill his own people to save his skin: Tens of thousands of the people he rules over lined the streets calling for his death yesterday and he has been condemned the world over. But hidden away in his palace in the midst of a city in chaos, King Gyanendra of Nepal appeared desperate to cling to power - and prepared to shoot down his own unarmed subjects in the streets to do it.
Labour Bods: Do you really think Blair gives a tuppeny-stuff about you and your little problems? He doesn't. He will cling to power for as long as he can, because he's desperate to be remembered for something other than Iraq. But that's just not going to happen, is it? Following this election, Blair will be extremely vulnerable and - this time around - there is no shortage of ammunition. All sorts of people will be lining up to take their shot at him from the moment this election is over... after Labour's soldiers have paid the price for his arrogance.
Labour members, candidates and activists now have less than 2 weeks to sort the Blair problem out before facing the wrath of the public. Why are they waiting?
