Tony Blair won a landslide victory in the June 7 elections, not because he chose Harold Wilson or Michael Foot as his role model. Ironically, Labor chief’s political role model is Tory leader Margaret Thatcher. Earlier, Blair, who represents the party’s center-right, had thrown away the concept of socialism from the party’s agenda. Blair and Gordon Brown, chancellor of the exchequer, changed the party’s contempt for the capitalist system and opposition to the policy of privatization launched by Thatcher while she was the premier in the eighties. She also had closed the chapter of nationalization in the country. The British billionaires, who were planning to take out their money and investments to some safe locations when Blair came to power in 1997 later realized that Blair protected their interests better than the Conservatives. Blair has gone to the extent of giving the Bank of England the freedom to fix the interest rates. Blair’s capitalistic policies have made the rich Britons trust him more than Conservative leaders.
The Labor leader also has been imitating Thatcher when he wanted to get financial support for his political campaigns. She used to seek the help of Jewish billionaires in return for blind support to Israel in the Middle East crisis. Blair adopted the same strategy.
In fact, the original Conservative stand on the Middle East issue was neutral with accent on the principle of protecting British interests.
David Levi, an Israeli citizen, used to support Blair and offer him unlimited financial help. It is public knowledge that Levi was the major financier of the former Israeli Prime Minister Barak’s election fund.
Another Jewish billionaire David Young used to help Thatcher meet her election expenses. As a mark of gratitude she appointed Young as the labor minister in her Cabinet even though he was not a member of the Parliament. Such an irregular act did not invite any criticism from the British intellectuals because the Western people stop thinking rationally when they deal with any issue related to Jews.
David Levi was Blair’s spiritual father just as Keith Joseph was Thatcher’s. She was even willing to change her religion as she was deeply influenced by Judaism. This religious prejudice made her offer key portfolios of home, finance, education and labor to Jews who believed in dual citizenship.
Thatcher’s blind love for everything Jewish made her accord hero’s welcome to terrorist murderers such as Begin and Shamir, who had been declared wanted criminals by the Scotland Yard. These two Jewish leaders were the masterminds of the murder of several Britons and Arabs. They used to lead the Jewish terrorist gangs of Hagana and Stern.
Blair appointed Levi as his foreign affairs adviser in his first Cabinet, relegating Foreign Secretary Robin Cook to a back seat. Cook was further humiliated when Blair transferred him to an insignificant post. Cook was despised and punished because of his known sympathy for the Palestinian cause. His criticism of Israel’s occupation of the Arab lands had invited bitter opposition from the media led by Jews. Blair’s removal of Cook from the Foreign Office has been greatly pleasing to the Zionists. Now the Tories are reportedly making an attempt to please the Zionist lobby with a bid to elect Michael Portillo, a Zionist, as the party chief.
