"Tony bugs Kofi? I don’t know about that, but I can tell you, he bugs the hell out of me! No applause please, I’ve not finished yet etc."
Look, why would Tony Blair have Kofi Annan’s office electronically bugged? It doesn’t make sense, not when you realise that Tony’s other job is as a top quality mind reading act, as he proved during a cabaret interval at Party Conference in Inverness.

"I’m getting the name Jack. Do we have a Jack, in here tonight? Jack, something, is it MacConnell? It is, isn’t it? I’m just concentrating very hard Jack. I’m starting to get something here Jack, something of yours Jack, in my pocket. Without being rude Jack, remember it’s a family show, could you just check the contents of your trousers for me? That’s right, Jack they’re gone aren’t they? That’s because I’ve got your balls in my pocket, and no Jack, I won’t be giving them back at the end of the show…

I’m getting a name, Henry is it? No one here tonight of that name is there?

No, that’s right, but I’m getting a picture in my mind of Henry, and Jack, he’s sending you a message from beyond. It’s a bit indistinct Jack, but do the words bastard, traitorous, back stabbing and little mean anything to you? No? Doesn’t matter Jack, because I’m trying to see if Henry’s got a future and all I see is black, so not to worry…

Oh, now I’m getting another voice talking to me now. A whiny Brummie voice, saying nasty things about me which I’d like to comment on but I’ve got to get off now because Cathy Jamieson’s up next with her performing poodles routine. And I don’t mean the Labour Group of MSPS. Behave yourselves!

I’ve been Tony Blair, you’ve been a credulous audience, night, night, God bless".

Inside: "So Jack, do you think my little reference to the Auld Alliance went OK?"
"Yeh fine Tony, really. Now, could you just fuck off now please?"
