European Tribune - Comments - Blair misses the "protectionism" meme

Blair misses the "protectionism" meme | 5 comments (5 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

For reasons best known to itself, the FT has always been a Blair-ite paper.

In fact I'm sure it's been endorsing labour at elections since the Thatcher era. It seems as tho' they've adopted the american idea of consistently supporting one viewpoint, even when the facts are unco-operative

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
