Blair warned Don't go out like Thatcher London Telegraph / JAMES CHAPMAN | May 11 2006 Comment: Blair and Brown are both Bilderberg members. When Margaret Thatcher left oFfice she was basically forced out by the Bilderberg group because she would not fully cooperate with their globalist ideals. Thatcher admitted this to long time Bilderberg investigator Jim Tucker. Is Brown's warning to Blair meant to remind him that he can and will be removed at any point? LONDON: The man expected to take over from Prime Minister Tony Blair warned the leader yesterday not to "end his leadership like Margaret Thatcher". Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown claimed Mr Blair would hold talks with him about the transfer of power in the coming weeks and said he should avoid a "disorderly and undignified" exit from Downing Street. Mr Brown's words appear calculated to ensure Mr Blair does not back down from the commitment he has given Labour MPs to step down soon to allow his successor "ample time" to settle in before the next election. Mr Brown's supporters don't trust Mr Blair to honour his pledge. One MP said: "People want to see a genuine commitment to a stable and orderly transition. Talks should begin over the next few weeks." Downing Street's response to the prospect of formal discussions was frosty, with the Prime Minister's spokes- man insisting Mr Blair would simply be "getting on with the business of government". But rebel MPs were last night jubilant, claiming the Prime Minister had "blinked first" in a showdown over his departure date.At a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party on Monday, Mr Blair finally abandoned the pretence that he intends to serve a "full third term", after more than 50 MPs threatened to publish a letter demanding that he go. With Labour's poll ratings in freefall, speculation increased that Mr Blair will be forced to go next year. Mr Brown, appearing on TV yesterday, insisted that he had not yet discussed the handover of power with Mr Blair unlike the Prime Minister suggested in his monthly press conference on Monday. But he added: "Tony said that he is going to be doing it in a stable and orderly way, that means that he is going to be talking not just to me but to senior colleagues about it. "Remember when Mrs Thatcher left, it was unstable, it was disorderly and it was undignified." Mr Brown accepted that he was Mr Blair's chosen heir, saying: "He did say that." But he insisted the succession was "a matter not just for me, it's a matter for him and the Labour Party". Downing Street was said to be in a "state of fury" about Mr Brown's evocation of Mrs Thatcher's ejection from Downing Street in 1990 after her supporters turned on her. One poll yesterday put Labour on just 30 per cent, its worst rating since 1992, and David Cameron's Conservatives eight points ahead. The Populus poll for The Times was the first poll since last week's local elections, in which the Tories snatched 320 council seats from Labour. --------------------------------------------------- Prison Planet.tv: The Premier Multimedia Subscription Package: Download and Share the Truth!
