“I think Blair has always meant well,” writes Brian Micklethwait, responding to my last post. Sorry, Brian, I can’t agree with you. In my opinion he’s worse than Hitler*.
Hitler had his faults, of course, as he himself would be the first to admit. Many of his “Nazi theories” have now been debunked. With the benefit of hindsight his invasion of Russia was ill-conceived, and his scheme to exterminate the “lesser races” has been widely discredited.
But once you accept his premises –lebensraum, the supremacy of the Ayran race, etc.- his actions did have a kind of loony logic. He meant well. Blair, on the other hand, is working single-mindedly for the triumph of Evil. Only when you have grasped this do his policies make any sense.
Now I’m not trying to defend the Nazis here, don’t get me wrong, but they did at least leave behind a few autobahns. Labour merely fucked up the railways, with no compensating benefits. Whether they “meant well” is beside the point, though in my opinion they did not mean well, but were motivated by malice, hatred of the British public, and the sheer joy of wrecking.
Can you imagine Blair taking responsibility for the state of Network Rail, and shooting himself in a burning bunker? Of course you can't. At least Hitler could admit when he was wrong.
*Adolf Hitler, a controversial Austrian politician. Unsound on ID cards.
