Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

One Down, Two To Go…

Life imitates artlessness… I read the extracts from the Downing Street memo on how Blair should bow out with a dizzy sense of losing my grip on reality. Quote:
The retirement blueprint aims to promote the "triumph of Blairism" and allow the PM to quit on a wave of euphoria after 10 years in office. The secret strategy – drawn up by a small group of loyalists – is well under way. Mr Blair’s "farewell tour" includes plans to appear on Blue Peter, Songs of Praise and Chris Evans’ radio show.
Now it appears that it wasn’t a figment of a crazed imagination. Some people actually think this way. Here’s one I made earlier. One down, two to go. Somehow, "euphoria" isn’t quite the word I’m searching for to describe my feelings about this. "Nausea" is probably closer.

    It’s all such a disappointment. In the heady days of 1997, I really thought that we had a new dawn in British politics. That’s before I caught sight of the feet of clay or caught the whiff of decay.
