Summary

This week, we have the full cast of TF together to review the history of the Millennium Dome, a New Labour attempt to create a modern exposition of Britain. It definitely became an exhibition of how weird the inner circle of Blair’s Labour was, but it’s largely regarded as a failure–and we learn about how it transformed a chunk of Greenwich from the Goop Zone into the Empty Luxury Flat Zone. Part 2 of this episode is available now on the Patreon—get it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/60698903 If you’re in the UK and want to help Afghan refugees and internally displaced people, consider donating to Afghanaid: https://www.afghanaid.org.uk/ *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

0:28.5	Camembert communists would have you believe that the traditional knighthood afforded to former
0:33.4	Prime Ministers shouldn't be given to Blair simply because he is a white match and also
0:38.3	due to the controversies surrounding his time in office. But if we were to strip the knighthoods
0:43.5	of every white male politician we disagree with, who would be next? Sir Winston Churchill, Sir
0:48.8	Oswald Mosley, the list goes on. Indeed, these petty four Posardists of Zone 2 seem hell-bent on effectively

1:02.4	prime minister would never be allowed to invade Iraq again? We may debate the merits of the 2003
1:08.3	war and its outcomes all we like, but just because there weren't WMDs in Iraq doesn't mean there couldn't have been.
1:14.7	Was Tony Blair supposed to possess the powers of clairvoyance?
1:18.9	By setting this precedent, what do we expect the response of a British government to be
1:23.5	to the emergence of, say, God forbid, a Nazi Iraq?
