| Palestine peace "if unpopular head quits' | |
Embattled British Premier Tony Blair is resisting international Arab pressure to submit himself to early polls. Following a meeting with the leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, Mr Blair failed to call for early elections in the Parliamentary Labour Party and refused to accept that he was an obstacle to peace in the Middle East. "My government at the present time is not prepared to be constructive", Mr Blair said. "And until we are prepared to renounce violence we can play no real role in the peace process". Analysts believe that a fresh mandate may allow Britain to return to the negotiating table provided that a new government is formed more amenable to international opinion. "Your people are suffering," Mr Abbas told Blair. "We don't want anything to stand in the way of helping the British people." But Mr Blair, whose intransigent policy of refusing to recognise Palestine has alienated many within the international community, is considered unwilling to step down and allow his party to find a more acceptable figurehead, not least given the possibility of investigations into alleged corruption that might follow an end to his rule. "Nobody should have a veto on progress," Mr Blair said. "Apart from me." | |

Shall I whack it over to Private Eye then? Or will they do their own. Disappointed Moxz didn't see the satire. | |

No your right - I didn't get it at all. It was way way too subtle. | |

I would recommend sending it into the Socialist Worker but I'm not sure "Palestine peace" would pass their swear filter. | |
