Mr. Michael James writes:
"Because Tony Blair considers himself courageous enough
to send other men into a killing zone to fight and die
for him, I surmise that he at least has the guts to
take me on in a bare-knuckle fist fight. That is why I
have written and dispatched (today, 13 September) both
a personal letter to Tony Blair and an open letter to
seven London newspapers in which I invoke the ancient
English custom of "Impugning Honour With An Offer Of
Redress."
The text below is self explanatory. I doubt, however,
that the British press will publish the open letter,
knowing that I could attract widespread curiosity and
support in my invocation of this time-honoured custom,
exposing Blair's cowardice and hypocrisy. That's why I
have to put these letters out on the net - otherwise
they lose their meaning.
And you never know. He may pick up the gauntlet."
The letter follows:
Open Letter To Tony Blair In Which I Impugn His Honour
And Challenge Him To Defend His Manhood From Charges of
Cowardice By Engaging Me In A Bare-Knuckle Fist Fight
Gentlemen of the press, my fellow citizens,
I hereby give public notice that I, Michael James, a 42
year-old British subject-citizen of sound mind and
judgement, resident in the Republic of Germany, invoke
the gentlemanly tradition of impugning honour with an
offer of redress, and do thereby formally challenge one
TONY BLAIR, a prime minister, to defend his honour and
test the courage of his own convictions in regard to
his advocacy of violence to settle arguments with other
countries by engaging me in a bare-knuckle fist fight
at a time and venue to be agreed mutually, according to
the rules of ancient custom.
I openly and publicly IMPUGN THE HONOUR of TONY BLAIR
by charging that he is:
A COWARD who manipulates other men to do his fighting
for him
A COWARD who enjoins other men to do violence yet is
himself a conniving, effeminate poltroon
A COWARD and a hypocrite who claims to follow the way
of Jesus Christ, yet seeks, in direct violation of the
laws of God and the teachings of Christ, to kill other
men and to steal their land and natural resources
A COWARD and a moral weakling who is susceptible to the
influence of deranged and intellectually retarded
superiors
A COWARD and a traitor who is willing to betray his
fellow countrymen in satisfying the vanities of his own
nefarious ego
A COWARD who lies to procure wars for oil and
geopolitical advantage
A COWARD who sanctioned war crimes in the former
Yugoslav Republic by authorizing the Royal Air Force to
unleash cancer-causing uranium-depleted bombs on
soldiers, women and children
A COWARD who played an executive role in the massacre
of over 400 prisoners of war at Nazar-i-Sharif, during
which 40-60 unarmed men were tortured and shot in the
back of the head by his SAS operatives and allied CIA
agents
A COWARD who is fully complicit in obtaining the deaths
of half a million Iraqi children by sabotaging the
distribution of life-saving medicines to treat diseases
caused by British and American blockades and
uranium-depleted bombs, and who deceives the world by
contriving to lay the blame for that tragedy on the
sovereign leader of that self-same sovereign nation
I, Michael James, give reasonable notice that, unless
TONY BLAIR takes up, WITHIN 28 DAYS as from 15
September 2002, my challenge to a bare-knuckle fist
fight in which he has occasion to defend his honour and
his manhood against the aforementioned charges, all
good citizens of sound mind should consider him to have
FULLY-ACCEPTED those CHARGES OF COWARDICE.
Yours Sincerely,
Michael James.
13 September 2002.
