LATET ANGUIS IN HERBA

Tony Blair and Jose Maria Aznar have enjoyed a private breakfast at 10 Downing Street London.

according to today's print edition of La Vanguardia.

Tony Blair is the Privy Lord Councilor of HMG of the UK and Northern Ireland.

Jose Maria is life president of the PP of España and ex prime minister of HMG of Spain.

Mr Aznar is very important, he must be, because he lives in important places, meets important people and had a book written about him. His daughter was married with great pomp and circumstance. His signature is to be seen on the end of many documents which he might have helped write.

He travels the world, regularly expressing the opinions which he shares with much of the rest of his party, and of course his own personal opinions. He most recently spent almost twelve hours articulating many of these in a commission to investigate the horror of M11. He excelled himself impressing many with his delivery, offending many others with his firmness and prejudice. We may presume that this mightbe atopic of conversation with Mr Blair. Mr Aznar has never enjoyed scandals of a more salicious type, and so we may presume that the recent problems besetting Mr Blunkett after his prolonged and obsessive harassment of a woman with considerably less "power" than he were made public.

Mr Aznar usually talks about terror, how to make lives better and improve the lot of his fellow men.
He has the support of many in the RC church who like most of religious persuasion and faith have found their convictions shaken by modernity and the end effects of social globalisation and the popularisation of American values and fears through their dominant entertainment industry.

He is thus to be expected to come across as a little bit arrogant to many, but this is really not what he is like at all. We remember him for many things, not least of all the photo taken in the Azores with President Bush and Mr Blair on the island of Terceira, 2300 miles west of Washington DC 900 miles east of Madrid, the territory of Portugal who's patron saint is George (who killed the dragon).

We must wait till tomorrow to read what La Vanguardia may report of this private breakfast, as today it's only available in "pdf" version, and your trusted correspondent has not the money to or means to purchase this page today. I will of course leave the link in the comments.

Without a doubt, Mr Aznar will have mentioned the return of terrorist tactics to Spain, (which he believes has never stopped being terrorised) and perhaps Mr Blair will have mentioned the Northern Ireland peace process, and the Reverend Ian Paisley's request that the photographic evidence held by members of the Finnish judiciary and diplomatic corp along with a Canadian ex-general will be made public to satisfy all that the political wing of the IRA may enter government according to the constitutional settlement voted upon by the peoples of Ireland and Northern Ireland some years ago.

Mr Paisley once held a sign up in the European parliament declaring that HH Pope John Paul 2 was the antichrist. That sign was ripped from his hand by deputy von Hapsburg, an austrian scion of the former ruling dynasty of one of the now defunct crowns of christendom. Mr Aznar wouldn't have approved of that action, and may have chuckled today with MrBlair over the attempts by the Hungarian state to extend citizenship to all hungarians who live within the former territories of that empire. Mr Aznar once shored up the British opposition to further European integration by seeking a stronger trans-Atlantic relationship with the USA and even went as far as to encourage Poland (where the pope was born) to enter the coalition of the willing to invade Babalon and give democracy to the Iraqis.

This is contrary to the Irish political interest.

We support the Pope, and Poland, and we enjoy a very special relationship with both Europe and the USA. We are a neutral country with a very special historic relationship with Britian (we helped build, design and maintain it's empire) with Spain (we have for many generations taught it english and turned a blind eye to it's teenagers shoplifting) and the USA (we helped build, design and maintain it).

Meanwhile I enjoyed breakfast this morning with my flatmates one of whom is studying a masters in integration of immigrants and works in a retirement home to pay the rent. Another works in a restaurant and is hoping to have saved enough by next year to be able to plan a masters course. We drank coffee which thanks to free ecomonics is cheaper than it used to be, and ate some sweet cakes which do not carry any declaration that the grains used do not contain GM material, or any indication of the pathogenic potential of the additives. We talked about what happens in our lives, our economic insecurity, our inate belief in the brotherhood and sorority of man and woman kind and our wish that peace will come.

Thanks to indymedia I can tell you about our breakfast for less than the price of a local phone call, because as you know there is a computer in every house, in 10 downing street, in Mr Aznar's house - everywhere except of course where the majority of people live in Africa, Asia and South America but don't worry they dont fear atomic energy, they know they can't change the times, and they rarely talk of euthanasia, and they consume very little Oil.

qui facit per alium facit per se: "non exercitus neque thesauri praesidia regni sunt verum amici."

Till I can get the link to the statements I would love to hear what fellow users of the internet ate for breakfast this morning. And here is a joint statement Mr Blair made with Mr Aznar when both of them were prime ministers to crowns of Christendom. It deals with achieving the Lisbon accord ( a city built on seven hills ) which promised people like you and I "the plebs" job security and freedom to offer our skills in the employment markets of the European Union with guarantees of social security et cetera...

Madrid's government can't update me, coz Mr Aznar doesn't techincally work there anymore. And number 10 have due to the embarrasment side of things let nothing more be mentioned than "the sale of a house at 2,000,000 [dont know if its $/€/stg] and the health of Mr Blair".

Oh, yeah, tomorrow Mr Zapatero will have breakfast with Mr Blair in a big Kent mansion along with several other people (whom they generally refer to as mandarins) [though to be honest they very rarely wear chinese clothing] { a good latin accent and west london club tie suffices }
They're also going to be joined by Mr Caruno the first minister of Gibraltar (who was re-elected the same day our grand old man Ian Paisley won the majority of the unionist vote after trying his best for more than thirty years and José Pons the spanish minister charged with the responsibility for negotiation between HMG UK NI and GIB and HMG España.

The treaty of Utrecht which gave Gibraltar to the UK also covered the first acceptance be the UK and Ireland of the Spanish state's rule of Catalonia (where I live).

Tomorrow I will be joining my flatmates for a brekkie of cheap coffee and some discount chocolate cakes from the local discount supermarket, thanks to free market economics and globalisation, we can still afford these items, we will naturally be talking more about such key issues that effect us "plebians" as -
1. the insecurity of our jobs.
2. the absence of any guaranteed state pension for us when we are old.
3. and why some of us, even though beautiful enough to win miss world can't live and work in europe or spain or the UK or gibraltar without undue hassle despite speaking the languages.

I made a mistake, not my first, Zaptero didn't attend the breakfast in Kent, he was still hanging out with Chirac celebrating a Spain/France summit and supporting Kofi against the USA "food for oil" attack.

over 450,000,000 people don't get brekkie.
People like U2 are doing the best to support a campaign at the moment to get the people over in the UN building and those at the brekkies to worry about this.

Times are very tough for sensitive types.
Inicidents of psychological breakdown are peaking where they are monitored - in the prisons of Europe, and in the hospitals and schools. Even today the local telly soap opera focussed on such problems.

Why are people going potty?

- Because the world is strange. Terror has moved into the age of modernity now, and is felt in all lives in all quarters, and not a one of us, be we Rev. Paisley or the brekkie crew really understand it anymore. It's "the fear".

I still recommend origami.
I stll recommend talking to your mates and recognising that we all read the papers, watch the TV, but it isn't our fault.
We are not responsible, guilty or in any way to allow ourselves to be so finely scared silly by the surreality of the modern world.
We need to tell each other jokes more.

Maybe we ought joke a little less about Ian Paisley, the man who said-
"Line dancing is as sinful as any other type of dancing, with its sexual gestures and touching. It is an incitement to lust."

It surprises me, for in the psalter of David is it not written "sign a new song unto the Lord" followed by "Praise him in the dance, on the cymbal, on the organ" et cetera...

Perhaps the grand old man's palpable fear, very extensive paranoia and mistrust is a sign of his experiencing "dejávù", certainly it is not showing any signs of getting better. Mr Paisley is "cracking up". Mr Robinson it is surely your time to take the reins of responsibility, for "humiliation" and "atonement" and such concepts though sincere professions of your understandable posititions are not helping "normal christian life" appear in the province, the vat majority of those who voted for your opposite numbers have played no part in the sins or crimes done against you, and they have suffered humiliation since paritition. Humiliation in the name of ignorant taunts, prejudice, bigotry, jerrymandering, and war which was made upon them. From far away, it seems, that once the reverend Paisley is allowed "rest" to recuperate from his obvious problems and anxiety, then the peoples of ulster, northern ireland, the north of ireland may live better lives, enjoying concensus, peace, good schools, hospitals and take away food.
For verily you are not "god's chosen people".

Now deep breathing. it's easy.

"If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? / Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? / If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? / And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered."

Ian, I first wrote to you when I lived,
just off the SCR Dolphin's Barn a few hundred yards from Fatima's mansions and the worst affected "scag" areas of Dublin in the early 1990s. I too saw people die. I too saw the terror of the modern world unleashed upon a generation. I too notice the gap in demography.
I wrote to you about "peace" and what I saw as the common civilised values which belong at the hearth of almost every Irish home.
I wrote to you about the "fraility" which poorly suits those who lead, of the malfunction of leadership, of the snare of demogoguery in any way shape or form.

You didn't reply.

The Presbyterian church in Ireland did reply.
They sent me over two hundred pages of carefully considered and very well written criticisms of what was at that stage a very early version of the agreement which was later voted upon by the peoples of the island of Ireland. I had already learnt my psalter thanks to them, and had taken by leave of their company for choosing wayward ways.
The Orange Order replied, they sent me their tricentenary glossy brochure and ever since I started using the internet I've been tempted to upload the pictures. But they sent me nothing more.
You've come a long way, and you're not sitting in a hammock photographing your feet. You're still at the helm, saying the good words, and i wonder of your thoughts when Rev. Billy Graham came to Europe, and of your generation of evangelists, of your generation of calvinists, of your rôle not only in ulster but far far beyond.

If anyone were to give you a scorpion when you asked for boiled eggs in the diplomatic mission of the republic of Ireland to the court of St James, I'd be very very angry. Are we to believe the BBC when they still counted on so many hard working capable staff, that you really felt so threatened?
Or was this an example of "your sense of humour".

Mr Paisley of Ulster , you are very like Mr Fraga of Galicia and very different.
You have always been an oppositionist.
He has always been in government.
You are as protestant as is possible.
He isn't.
You denounce trickery, proclaim covenants, detect sorcery, and ask for humiliation.
He just kept saying :- "there isn't a problem".

In short to conclude, I and many of my generation, would be very angry were you to be poisoned, we got used to you and your antics, we like in you in a

"better the devil you know than the devil you don't"

sort of way.

You have been finally elected to lead a government,
and the company of princes,
and the responsibility of lords.

= It's your choice.
= it always was your choice.
