There's More Than One Definition Of Pathetic
Posted October 31st, 2007 by Tom
More from the Independent/Times snippeting of Andrew Seldon's book on Blair. OK, obviously we're getting the tasty bits, but indulge us:
Tony Blair turned down a last-minute offer from President George Bush for Britain to stay out of the Iraq war because he thought it would look "pathetic", according to a new book on Mr Blair's tenure.
Quite right too. After all, the one adjective we never use about Tony Blair's foreign policy record is 'pathetic'. We usually don't have enough space after running through murderous, larcenous, imperialistic, neo-colonial, neo-conservative, kleptocratic, illegal, ill-judged, dodgy, wasteful, detrimental, deceitful dishonest, two-faced, insincere, untruthful, mendacious, double-dealing...

To categorise"lobbying"Â as
To categorise"lobbying" as an "industry", is to give industry a bad name.
Lobbying in Westminster is a crime. It is attempting to, and very often succeeding in, perverting the course of Justice and/or democratic government.
MPs are elected, on paper, to represent the views of their constituencies. Thus anyone attempting to influence this must be carrying out activities which must rank alongside interfering with election results.
