Center for Diversity and the Amsterdam-
Amstelland Police gay network.

of knowledge and experience concerning gay
emancipation within police organizations," coor-
dinators said.

Pop singer George Michael blasts
Blair: 'He's a dangerous man'
Gay pop singer George Michael blasted
British Prime Minis-
ter Tony Blair in the
March 1 edition of
The Big Issue, a
British magazine.
"I can't imagine
what it feels like for
people who lost
their kids [in the Iraq
war] to hear Tony
Blair's pathetic little
bleatings that he still
thinks the world is a safer place. It's disrespect-
ful," Michael said.
"I wish to God that the Labor Party had the
guts to get rid of Blair, because it could survive
another election without bim.
"I think it's too important for world affairs that
he's gone. I think globally he is a dangerous
man.
"He is an altruist who thinks he's doing every-
thing for the best, but he cannot face up to his
own ego."
Michael caused controversy in 2002 with the
video for his song "Shoot the Dog." The video of
the song depicts President Bush as an imbecile.
Blair is depicted as Bush's poodle and boyfriend.
