When Tony Blair called his much-awaited memoirs A Journey, he probably expected its journey into bookshops would be relatively straightforward.
But a Facebook page was today inundated with pictures of the former prime minister's book in odd places after thousands joined a group entitled "Subversively move Tony Blair's memoirs to the crime section in bookshops".
The Facebook page – which had more than 5,000 members by mid-afternoon – urges them to "make bookshops think twice about where they categorise our generations [sic] greatest war criminal"...
Alas most corporate-run American bookstores no longer carry "crime" sections, or everything about or by Bu$h and Cheney would be there too. It's just another way the Company warps our thinking. Mr. Orwell would not have dreamed Oceania would use his novels as "how to" textbooks...
Mr. Blair is a loyal poodle, however, with nothing but good things to say about his master, whose vision he accurately calls "not stupid".
Insane would be a better word for it, wouldn't it?
