Blair's new book

[Neko Bazu]

One thing I love about the internet is that it's (currently) hard to hide public opinion on it. Often this leads to the casual sexism/racism/stupidity we're all used to seeing, but at times, it works wonders. Video footage from a phone that governments would like censored makes it online in under 10 minutes etc.

And Tony Blair's new book, "A journey" gets viewer-created tags on Amazon which truly reflect the feelings of the nation.

Tags (by popularity):

liar(183)
war criminal(182)
self-serving(142)

murderer(117)

What about "C*nt"?

tags under (10) we're deleted. I'm sure "C*nt" came in at (9).

Amazon have taken the 'war criminal' tag off (I guess, since it hasn't been proven in a court of law, they have to beware libel suits... )

The others are still there though ;D www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/tags-on-product/009192555X/ref=tag_dpp_cust_edpp_sa

Two points on this:

1) Did you see the quote from the book on Mock the Week?

2) Did anybody see the several thousand "critical reviews" on Amazon of 'Ollie', Ian Hollowords' autobiography, posted by Argyle fans after he did the dirty on the club? I lost several hours reading them all... Just checked and none are there anymore Almost as good as when the Saints fans put Rupert Lowe on ebay ;D

I didn't, no! Just youtube'd it, but it's apparently not up yet, which is a pity~ Any chance of a transcription?

Somebody somewhere must have archived it...
