WHY NULABOUR BLAIRISM IS NOT LIKED IN FINLAND


Although there are many friendly and diplomatic links between the UK and Finland there are a few major differences. One of these has been seen rather clearly as talk of the so called "Blairism For Europe" was debated heavily a few years ago. One official response from the Finnish Foreign Minister, Erkki Tuomioja, said it all. He said that the only kind of Blairism Finns would accept is that from Eric Blair and a refusal of totalitarianism as in George Orwell. Rumour had it that Blairites and their "turd way" were not amused.

But the UK has never really liked the Nordic ways where a third-way political economy was happening well before the gospels of Tony Blair even emerged from the wet nurses. Of course Blair since has resented wet nurses - something psychobolical about that i guess. But Blair and New Labour became totalitarian in their cloning of Maggie T. The Finns were right to support a George Orwell position as history has since proven.
