Tony Blair: Architect of Chaos
Tony Blair, previously a barrister specialising in employment and commercial law before arriving at his destination of Prime Minister, leader of the Labour (labour = work in normal talk) Party, won the 1997 general election under the promise of, ‘New Labour, Britain deserves better.’ ‘Better’ was to decentralise power in the ‘UK’ and begin legislation for a Scottish Parliament of its own, and a Welsh Assembly of its own. The 1998 establishment of this new chaos in Northern Ireland was even more chaotic but the Stormont Parliament was put together. He did not stop there. Big cities were granted their own ‘constitution’ too in direct elections for their own mayors, thus creating many, many new constitutional arrangements within the ‘UK’. (Nothing for Cornwall or the Kingdom of Galloway though).
Why Wales would have merely an Assembly and Scotland a Parliament was already a constitutional conundrum of the highest order. Why big cities would have a mayor, (maybe to emulate the completely different societal history of France, only added to the constitutional conundrum of the ‘UK’.
This blog is about the societal arrangements of the human under the governance of Grian (old Irish), howl (old Cornish), Helios, and beyond any names, the physical facts of Earth as a spinning mass of rock in a vast space, held in place by Helios and gravity. How does the function of governance work technically, for survival of a species, as compared with all life forms within the atmosphere on Earth and human societies since the last Ice Age?
All life forms on Earth apart from the human still adhere to the same requirements and responsibilities for their societies. The human shows as the extreme divergence from reality in the devolved powers elections of May 2026 in the ‘UK’. The fact that it was a commercial and employment lawyer, who would have had to read the fine technicalities of a contract or a scenario, set in motion such a monumental collapse of structure is beyond rational belief. The meeting of the Cult of the Personal, the Cult of the Individual shows in the starkest relief. To ‘give’ power to the regions and the cities (apart from Cornwall and Galloway) in the expectation that ‘they’ would ‘love’ Tony Blair and his team of Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson, and love the Labour Party is the constitutional proof that the ‘UK’ on exists in inverted commas, ‘Westminster Parliament’ only exists in inverted commas, and in Britain and Eire (geography so no inverted commas needed there), there is no coherent government or governance to be found.
