Tony Blair is apparently so worried that Labour look to have a good chance of winning the Stoke Central and Copeland by-elections that he’s decided to try to put the kiss of death on both campaigns by coming out of hiding.
So, just in case anyone is fooled into thinking that Blair is remotely relevant to today’s Labour and the people who need a Labour government, I’ll just leave this article – originally published last November but not yet picked up by the mainstream media (although The Canary did) – here.
Blair – according to the testimony of a former senior army officer of impeccable bona fides – knew all about soldiers masquerading as police on the streets of Britain. In light of events at Orgreave, it’s another way in which he truly was Thatcher’s bastard offspring.
If you’d like to make sure Tony feels appropriately (un)welcome, please share this article, which was originally published late last year.
Over recent weeks, the SKWAWKBOX has been privileged to provide explosive eyewitness testimony showing the involvement of military personnel impersonating police officers against striking miners at The Battle of Orgreave in 1984.
As a result of that series of articles, this writer was contacted by a former army officer (bona fides established) – whom we’ll call “Major X” – who confirmed that soldiers ‘routinely’ masqueraded as police officers in operations against what both the Blair and Major governments considered ‘extremist groups’ – but with a mind-blowing stretching of any definition of ‘extremist’. A ‘trailer’ of this testimony was published last weekend, pending a full account from the ex-military whistleblower.
I had no inkling just how explosive that full account would – if true – prove to be.
If proven, this testimony shows army personnel dressing in police uniform to act not only against groups that are anything but extreme – but against the most surprising and controversial ‘extremists’ imaginable – with the full knowledge of at least two serving Prime Ministers, one of whom is said to be planning a UK political comeback.
The former officer freely admits that he has no direct personal knowledge of Orgreave, although his testimony is unquestionably relevant to events there
However, his claims go far beyond even that enormously important matter. Here are his words:
If correct, this testimony shows that using soldiers in police uniform against striking miners would be at the less dramatic end of the spectrum of the misuse of military personnel and resources masquerading as police officers.
If correct, this account shows:
- that successive governments abused their powers by stretching the definition of ‘extremist group’ beyond any reasonable sense, to include groups such as firemen, prison officers and hippies on their way to an ancient monument
- that armed forces personnel were presented as police to spy on and infiltrate not only ‘extremists’ such as firemen and prison officers, but also on diplomats of friendly countries – and members of our own Royal Family
- that at least two successive Prime Ministers were personally briefed on these activities – including one who is currently ‘trailing’ his potential return to UK politics
If correct, this whistleblower’s testimony strikes not only at the credibility of this government’s rationale for denying a full public inquiry into events at Orgreave – but at the very heart of this country’s Establishment and institutions.
If correct, this testimony demands a full, public and independent inquiry – not only into Orgreave but into the wider abuse of power and privilege that it reveals.
This article was published on this blog a week ago under a different title. It has now been covered by The Canary with the title “The fresh scandal that could end Tony Blair’s political…

Unfortunately any attack on Tony Blair is damaging to the Labour Party. Don’t help the Tories, they have enough trolls doing dirty work.
Again, like with the “Farage is applying for a German passport” story, this is based on uncredited/uncheckable “testimony”, presumably impeccable but ultimately unidentifiable sources. No-one in the press is going to take this seriously, for the same reasons as the Farage story.
They’re welcome to contact this blog. I’ll ask the source whether he’s willing to talk to them. No publication would give away its sources and good journalism requires *me* to know the source is solid, not for me to tell you who it is.
Amazing how many of your stories come from “unattributable sources”.
Why should it be? People with the most sensitive information are also most likely to need to take care with their identity. If you don’t like it, or don’t trust this blog to handle its sources, don’t read. Nobody is making you.
My dad was NUM branch secretary at the local pit when I was growing up and I can’t remember a time we didn’t know this.
I remember my dad telling me about the miners strike in the 70’s when the miners arranged fake meetings on the phone just to see how many ‘police’ turned up.
As I got older and moved away I learned not to talk about my experiences because it’s much easier for people to believe you are paranoid than actually telling the truth.
Blair’s Brexit Actions are ‘Premeditated’ and in ‘Unison’ with the ‘House of Lords’ to allow the Lisbon Treaty to Fully Kick in on 1 April 2017, becoming EU Law and which will then Stop Brexit Ever Happening – https://worldinnovationfoundation.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/blairs-brexit-actions-are-premeditated.html
