Another political journey

While reading around the Saudi/UK arms dealing piece I came across this:

The Campaign for Freedom of Information: Tony Blair presents 1995 Freedom of Information Awards
Individuals and organisations who have contributed significantly to greater openness are recognised in the Campaign for Freedom of Information’s annual Awards, presented on Monday evening, March 25, by the Rt Hon Tony Blair MP, leader of the Labour Party.

Isn’t this one of those poacher/gamekeeper crossovers we hear so much about? Treat yourself to a grim, ironic chuckle this fine Friday morning.

    1995. “Leader of the Labour Party”, not “Prime Minister”. Double took there a little.

    Yes, issued back in the day when Blair was being all things to all people and doing the best he could to appeal to people like thee & me. Sound familiar?

    According to the invaluable “The Little Book of New Labour Bollocks” by Alistair Beaton ISBN 0-7434-0412-2 the Great Leader on that occasion also said …”Labour’s commitment to the Freedom of Information Act is clear”.

    So clear it is transparent.
