Tony Blair Caught Stealing UK Lottery Funds to Hide the Financial Impact of War

Like the US, the UK has spent far more than it could afford on the war in Iraq. And like the US, the UK's social services have been threatened by cuts. But to hide this fact, Tony Blair has been diverting money raised by the UK's lottery into these services. "Between a quarter and a half of the cash originally intended for sport, culture, art and other such causes has been diverted to health and social projects, says former UK Prime Minister John Major, who founded the lottery 10 years ago. "I think that's grand larceny," said Major. When Labour won its second term in 2001, Blair pledged to spend 100 billion pounds improving roads, schools and hospitals. The Treasury is now striving to limit spending after running up a budget deficit of 37 billion pounds in the fiscal year through April 2004, the most since 1997.

Blair's Government Has Misused U.K. Lottery Funds, Major Says

`Almost the first thing they did when they came in to government was to legislate to take money away'' from the causes for which it was intended, Major told the British Broadcasting Corp.'s ``Breakfast with Frost'' Program. ``I think that's grand larceny.''

1. blair, bush. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. There's not difference

between them. I'm just surprised that blair hasn't been taken down by now. More Brits seem to be angry about Iraq than Americans. How has this guy survived lying to the British public? What is this, the Age of the Dishonest Politicians?

This just freaks me out. Liars, theives, and murderers running our governments. How did we ever come to this?

2. The British have proven themselves

to be even more inept at removing from office psychopathic liars than the US. Moreover, John Major is a limp dildo who also has issues with the truth, so his opinions are worth zip.
