Prescott, The Dome and The Neo-Con Billionaire
Posted July 7th, 2006 by quarsan
Friends of Blairwatch have been digging and some interesting questions are arising.
Is all this fuss just about a casino, or is there something more?
Let's take a look at the Dome. For a start it's not just going to be a casino but is also a major venue in the 2012 Olympics and Prescott hot footed it over to the ranch shortly after the London bid was announced as the winner. Interestingly the budget for the Olympics has rocketed. How much of this cash will go to Mr Anschutz or on renovating his Dome?
Of course we gave the Dome away for nothing, just a share of future profits. A mega casino will generate huge profits. Is this why New Labour have been almost demonically keen to open this casino?

FJP,
Two things, at least. First the parable of the talents takes precedence over the camel story and second, by promoting the word of the god by giving money to the family values nutters that counterbalances the camel problem. Also by being virulently homophobic, and assuming god is too, that's brownie points inhs favour. Brownie points, not the most felicitous phrase in the circumstances, but you know what I mean.

Take a look at RISE associates (Regeneration in Southern England) run by one of JP's ex - mistresses.
