Blackened

It’s obvious: with each year that passes, Blair and his plastic ‘government’ become ever more reliant on fabricating an image of society which is wholly deprived of actually content. Instead, a carefully manicured and marketed alternative takes its place. It is a culture, no longer of political spin, but of political spam. Watching his speech at the conference this year, watching the face of this man as it becomes ever more stripped of spontaneity, ever more faceless.

The Blair face is mirrored in the anonymity of the faceless city street which, having being homogenised has become an unthinking clone in every respect. Like the faceless city, when uniform collectivity is disrupted, then it is immediately suppressed. Imagine it then: an 82 year old man, expelled from the conference hall, refused entry under ‘anti-terrorist’ laws at the hands of anonymous grunts! Why? Because he dared to contest the legitimacy of the war. The tyranny of an enforced democratic consent is just as ‘barbaric’ as the tyranny of terror. The only difference is that the former makes a claim to civility.
