Cool!

Now, what about a reduced-size version (175px wide) for ET, with STOP BLAIR in it? I was thinking of something like:

...but I have little sense for aesthetics, so this is only intended to give you ideas.

Also now that it is in the Economist, we could use their white against red block motif for the Stop and the Blair...

We'll see if this blogger from The Economist is still laughing at us "leftists" when we get one million signatures.

Don't hold your breath. He still will. If Bliar could laugh about 1.5 million protesters, what about a writer for a propaganda outlet...

British readers of the satirical magazine Private Eye may be reminded of the fictional leftist character, Dave Spart, who was forever to be heard explaining how he "totally and utterly" opposed some reactionary development or other.

Well, he does agree that it is a reactionary development, right? Or he's being too subtle for me. And I thought that nowadays it was the unreconstructed left that was reactionary.

And "leftist" is not an insult anymore - isn't that how they describe all center-left leaders these days?

This gets so confusing...

but you have to remember that in certain circles John McCain is derided and thought not worth voting for because he's a leftist.

Heh, that's true, it's hard to figure out if we're Stalinist reactionaries or leftish extremists or euronuts or whatever else they come up with these days.

Diciphering the ideological content of the invective is becoming an art which might require the same sort of academic study as once pursued during the cold war, filtering the People's Daily for iterations of running yellow dogs of Capitalism and so forth.

Dizzying.

Have a 10!

You should write a diary about that...

Heh. Maybe I will.

Personally, I prefer the former myself...

The Economist guy is an absolute jerk -- has he checked the 'credentials' of every single E Tribuner and the petition signatories?

So, basically, the blogger seems to be arguing that since Blair compares favourably to Bloody Mary, he would make a fine EU president... I think I'll pass on that offer, thank you very much. Something about burning heretics at the stake and all that just kinda sorta puts me off the notion...

Good. This is meant for the ET FP, I gather?

I'll do my best to provide something by tomorrow early pm.

Yes, thanks in advance, and good night! I should go to sleep, too...

If I might be utterly annoying - the design I put up calls for a 5 width, 4 height proportions. Could you (or anybody) add a bit of blue to the sides to reach these proportions ? I'm clueless with graphic edition tools...

Contact me at my professional gmail address if you would.

I was going to suggest in any case that you set the logo with a left margin, lining it up with the flag menu beneath it ...

It was a design mistake on my part to specify the logo flush left.

But, well, drop me a line.
