Tony Blair By E.M. Forster


I came across a killer quote by E.M.Forster the other day which it occurred to me fitted Tony Blair perfectly. It fits him, not in his capacity as the US/Israeli stooge Middle East Envoy, but in his representation of ''the vast armies of the benighted, who follow neither the heart not the brain, and march to their destiny by catchwords. The armies are full of pleasant and pious folk. But they have yielded to the only enemy that matters – the enemy within. They have sinned against passion and truth, and vain will be their strife after virtue. As the years pass, they are censured. Their pleasantry and their piety show cracks, their wit becomes cynicism, their unselfishness hypocrisy; they feel and produce discomfort wherever they go.''
