Off to Swindon, where
something akin to dialogue is taking place between Rulers and Unruly. Tony Blair hoses off a wall and demands respect, favourite word of role models like Vito Corleone and 50 Cent. The next day the reply comes, in 3ft-high letters - "Fuck off keep off our land Blair". Will Tony go back to clean the wall again? No.
GK Chesterton's predictive skills were certainly spot on so far as Blair goes:
"Lords without anger and honour, who dare not carry their swords"
But I don't think that these are quite the people or the riposte that he had in mind...
Some people of England yesterday. Probably just as well Chesterton was spared the sight.
