The day after the election, the BBC reported that the Iranian government was interested in buying MG Rover. This was a useful reminder of what one might call the internal contradictions of Blairism. It would be difficult to imagine circumstances in which the mullahs would buy, say, General Motors, yet here was George W. Bush's alleged poodle presiding over a land where what's left of the native automobile industry is happy to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Axis of Evil. I've no idea what MG Rover makes these days, but no doubt it will soon be changed to MG Axles of Evil and your discerning ayatollah will be driving to the nuclear launch facility in his brand new Morris Mullah.
