The Blight of Blairism (Hardcover)

"Blair is worst P.M." screamed the headlines when Tam Dalyell, the veteran Labour MP and father of the House of Commons, recently went on record ranking the last seven prime ministers in order of merit. Whatever Dalyell’s reasons Francis Bennion, an expert in his own right, here provides in-depth reasons of his own in 70 brief but biting chapters.

The Blight of Blairism explains why so many lives have been adversely affected by this self-centred, "history is bunk", spinning Prime Minister. The pace of events has been so rapid since he attained power in 1997 that many horrible Blairisms have fast faded into the background - to be superseded by the latest transgression. Most dire Blairisms are covered in this book, including dismantling of our historic constitution by devolution and "modernisation", the pernicious Human Rights Act which muddles our law, introduction of the anti-property right to roam, multiculturalism, political correctness, word hijacking, suppression of religious debate, curtailment of our armed forces, and mishandling of Ulster - not to mention Jo Moore and "Daft Mo" Mowlam.

Essential reading for all opponents of New Labour and Blair.

Vital for all who value what it means to be English.

Handy reference source for Blair’s destruction of the historic United Kingdom.

In all, the book provides the best antidote to "spin", and that worrying disease known as Blairism – a new word just added to the Shorter Oxford Dictionary.

Readership includes Political commentators, Print and broadcast editors, Journalists and commentators, Political party workers, Legal and constitutional experts, Economists, and Everyone who values being English.

Francis Bennion is the author of over twenty published books and many articles. After Blair came to power in 1997 Bennion was commissioned by a weekly journal to write parliamentary sketches, on which many of these 70 chapters are based. As one of the Parliamentary Counsel, Bennion has been around the Houses of Parliament at Westminster for over 50 years – even longer than Tam Dalyell! So he is well able to compare the puny Blair with Churchill and other parliamentary giants of the past half century.Francis Bennion drafted many major Acts, including the Sex Discrimination Act and the Consumer Credit Act, and several Constitutions. Many law books of his have been published, including Statutory Interpretation (four editions), Statute Law (three editions) and (last year) Understanding Common Law Legislation. He has had two books published on the Consumer Credit Act, and is a part-author of Halsbury’s Laws of England.
