Good Week: Tony Blair, Andrew Strauss, Harry Potter, Mark Hughes

by Greg McDonald

It was a high-powered week for Tony Blair as Glenys Kinnock, his onetime closest ally Gordon Brown's newly appointed Europe Minister, took both men by surprise, announcing Blair as Brown’s official candidate for President of the EU. As to the small matter of the job not yet existing – was Glenys bovered?

It was a big-hitting week for England cricket captain Andrew Strauss. After the skipper’s dreams of recreating his 2005 Ashes glory almost went up in smoke in the First Test, Strauss saw his tail-enders pull a draw out of the fire, poured water on some puffs of hot air from riled Aussie captain Ricky Ponting – and then began the Second Test by rising phoenix-like from the furnace of pressure, hitting "the best century of his career" on the opening day at Lord's.

It was a smashing week for Harry Potter, as The Half-Blood Prince broke box office records in the UK and US. And it wasn't just the millions flocking to cinemas who approved: even the Pope – who once claimed Harry "deeply distorts Christianity in the soul" – said “Amen” to the latest instalment. Here at GWBW we're still more impressed that 60 million people have now watched The Potter Puppet Pals.

It was a rich week for Manchester City boss Mark Hughes, who began splashing the oceans of cash bequeathed to the world’s wealthiest football team by owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed. And if poaching Carlos Tevez from neighbours Manchester United wasn’t brazen enough, how about Hughes’s efforts to lure “Mr Chelsea” John Terry to Maine Road?

This is one person who should be made to do National Service and in Afganhistan.

[bigger bigot than Alf]

He is a bigger bigot than Alf Garnet and two faced as well.

At least Alf spoke the truth and always said what he meant.

Alf may not have always been correct but he was decent and honest.

[Dot.com]

We know the truth about him. He got his ideas from Johnny Speight and then married Cherie Booth.

I believe he has a tatoo down his arm saying 'Rock on Alf Garnet'

[the truth]

HA HA you cant touch me for it.

I will be long dead when this country finds out the truth about me.

[King of SPEWROPE.]

They may have used the pencil sharpener on my nose but they cant use the guillotine on my neck when I become King of SPEWROPE.

[HORRIBLE]

What a HORRIBLE two faced head this is .

[... ... ...]

Then Poland has just got to love me when you think of the vast amount of Polish immigrants that swamped the country when I was PM.

The phrase 'I just didn't think there would be so many' just got me off the hook completely. Well, that's what I thought.

Just pretend I couldn't do the maths. Hmm but thinking about it, I can't. Made myself look a real fool in that school that time. Just could't add up.

[... ... ...]

To be the uncrowned head of Europe I first had to get the blessing from the President of France.

What could I say in return except

"Yes, you shall building 12.5 million poundsworth of nuclear power stations in Britain". Then selling electric power back to the British generaed from nuclear power stations on British soil will be like taking pennies from their eyes".

"God bless you all!"

[Need a big bog roll for that head.]

Need a big bog roll for that head.

[... ...]

Forget the neck folks, it's the head. The head that rests on these shoulders, the uncrowned head of Europe.

[Brian Wylie]

No Johnty whoever wins the next election, as long as it isn't Brown and his inco mpetents, it will not be perfect. They will have to clear up the ususal shambles left by Labour which will turn out to be worse than we now believe. You presumably have wandered through life with your eyes and ears shut for the past 12 years.

[... ... ...]

Look at me, I am THE ONE following on from Thatcher keeping you in this mess and that's where you will stay to further my political ambitions.

[Zeb]

Blair and the Kinnocks have their noses so far into the trough I wonder which orifice they're breathing from.

[Johnty, Newcastle]

When the tories get in Brian Wylie will have absolutely nothing to say - everything will be so perfect.

[Self righteous arrogant pig.]

Self righteous arrogant pig.

[... ... ...]

Here's the neck. I'm still waiting.

[my mate]

My mate Saddam was hung by his neck.
I think that one or two people want to do the same thing to me?

But it wont hurt as much as I hurt you lot.

HA HA !!

[THATS WHERE THE BOLT GOES.]

THATS WHERE THE BOLT GOES.

[Shafted Briton]

Yep. Here's one guy who sold his country and its people down the river for his own personal gain.

[Brian Wylie]

I am convinced that Blair believes he can run Britain from Brussels. The French will vote for Blair as any damage they can do to this country suits them.

[STUPIDITY !!!!]

The truth about Kelly will not come out until there is no one around to take the blame for the actions of the people that organised it and the people who killed him.

Once again the politicians get off scot free.

There is NO SUCH THING as freedom of information in this country and that was proven yet again with all the blacked out details on politicians fiddle forms.

Even though the newspapers printed the information the STUPID government censors black out what was already known.

WHY????

STUPIDITY !!!!

[... ... ...]

What I could never undertand about Dr David Kelly is why he should take his dog for a walk knowing that he was about to commit suicide and leave his beloved pet to fend for himeslf.

This is the reason why I believe that Dr David Kelly was murdered.

Anyone who has a beloved pet would never do that to his best friend and leave him to run wild in such bewildered agony and personal distress.

Rest in peace David Kelly.

[I stitched Gordon up]

I stitched Gordon up good and proper didn't I ?

Got a few more tricks up my sleeve off my new church. They knew how to rip the hearts out of people all those years ago and I will put them into practice when I become president of europe soon.

[Brian Wylie]

It is quite clear that the world has no idea the damage Blair has done to this country. The EU doesn't care as they relentlessly pursue their federation aims aided and abetted by the current British government. Brown of course was glad to see the back of Blair merely because it made him PM. He has turned out to be even more incompetent than Blair. If Brown's government is re-elected, we face another 5 years of disaster as Labour tries to cover up the shambles it has caused. Anyone who believes this is an impossibility is living in a dream world given the political ignorance of the British.One hope is that the Scots continue to support the SNP.

[les lee]

the truth is that dr. KELLY was murdered by incompetent american special agents ..probably at the request of those that had most to lose if the truth about the act of international piracy entered into by the american and british "presidents" became common knowledge

[Bob]

Gods bless you Dr. Kelly . Some day very soon we will all know the truth .

[(DICTATOR)]

Tony BLI AR's goal in life is to become (DICTATOR) "sorry" president of the EU.

After the damage he has done to the UK would any sane politician in europe put him there?

"YES"

BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.

[...]

Dr David Kelly RIP

[SEE IF I CARE !!!!]

LOOK AT ME !!!!!

I am the SMARMY GIT that got you into the mess you are ALL in.

SEE IF I CARE !!!!

[... ... ...]

Just look folks, if you are coming to a neck tie party, this is the neck.

[les lee]

tony blair should realise that there is still a fatwah on his head ... and a bullet with his name on it !!
experience tells me that all his ill gotten gains in this world will count for nothing when they put him in his box!!!

[Best Friend]

For Presidency of the EU B liar sold us out to the EU, to the immigrants, to the EU immgrants, to the French and changed from Church of England to CATHOLIC!

Hades is just round the corner for some of us. Enjoy!

[Nation Killer]

Along with religion and margaret thatcher this bliar is one of the biggest scourges to ever darken the shores of what is called a united kingdom.

Together with unfettered immigration and selling off the family silver between them they have brought this country to its knees.
