The Queen is not amused by Tony Blair’s indiscretions
3rd September 2010
“Her Majesty has to be able to talk to her chief minister in confidence, without any sense of trepidation that her words might some day be retailed in a cheap and cheerful volume of memoirs,” one courtier tells me. “No prime minister before has ever done this and we can only hope that it will never happen again.”
Well, try to keep from having cheap politicians as Prime Minister. Good luck with that, when Labor is popular. In the end, it all comes down to the quality of the voters. In a democracy, what rises to the top is as often the scum as the cream.
