Diana comes back to haunt Bliar, trash his book, and damage his reputation further

Ha ha! The Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph have wonderful articles shaming Tony Blair over his Princess Diana revelations.

To quote the Daily Telegraph article directly: "Tony Blair's claim that he tackled Princess Diana over her relationship with Dodi Al Fayed has been cast into doubt after it emerged that the Princess had not yet become involved with the Egyptian millionaire at the time of the alleged conversation."

They're all at it - they all use Diana's name and the fact that she's been gone for thirteen years. They all use her, knowing that the number of those of us who remember her accurately gets smaller with each passing year.

It appears that the defender of Diana's reputation on this occasion is Daily Mail writer Richard Kay - the journalist who Diana trusted most. Nice to see Mr. Kay honouring that friendship with a brilliant, rebutting article. Bravo!

That's Blair's book trashed already.

On this blog, we had a few things to say about Blair deciding he wanted to discuss Diana - a lady who, regular visitors know, we hold in very high regard. We'll fight 'til the end to defend her memory.

In his attempt to milk her name for his own self-gratifying agenda, this further public shaming of Blair's honesty and integrity is a huge bite on the bum.

And somewhere, watching over her boys from above, is Diana - witnessing how this attempt to use her name has backfired on Blair and laughing in that beautifully infectious way of hers.

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
