As Blair prepares for his last European summit meeting as PM, the press has been speculating about his possible next job - as EU president.

Apparently the new (very) right-wing French PM, Nicholas Sarkozy, has been trying to convince other European leaders that his good friend Tony is the perfect choice for a "permanent" EU president - to replace the current 6-month rotational presidency.

In fact it was Blair himself who proposed, in 2002, that there should be a full-time EU president. At the time the Sun newspaper said Blair wanted to be "the first elected emperor of Europe", accusing him of "Napoleonic" visions".

But it is ironical that Blair is recommended for this post. After all, the EU president is meant to be a kind of "super-referee" and a guarantor of the integrity of the European institutions!

What integrity has Tony B-liar, with his blatant deceit and criminal policies, resulting in hundreds of thousands of war dead? Not to mention the bribery and corruption linked to his government, on truly grand scale and his attempts to cover it all up.

The latest instance of his foul-play is, of course, his halting of the Serious Fraud Office enquiry into BAE's Saudi Arabian contract to replace the 20-year old Al Yamamah deal.

The incredible £1 billion in bribes, including a custom-made £75m Airbus given to Saudi Prince Bandar, are, we are told all perfectly proper! It is a government office, the MoD, which plays a key role in such contracts via its Defence Exports Services Organisation (Deso). And Deso just happens to have as its head, one, Alan Garwood, who is seconded from the missile-making company, MBDA, part-owned by BAE!

Blair now claims he has no ambition to be EU president. Which is just as well, since opinion polls amongst all the European electorates are overwhelmingly against him. But Blair will find no difficulty in getting himself a lucrative position when he leaves his post on 27 June. Unlike the tens of thousands of civil service workers, postal workers and health workers who have been, or will be, thrown out of their jobs by his government.
