Ah-hah
A Pratt is the polite word for a Wa*ker, which makes Tony Blair one hell of a pratt!
What is the dissatisfaction with Tony Blair - where do we start?
1. They have changed tax law for IT companies which means that the whole of Simon's company's income is treated and taxed as personal income with no allowance for company expenses which prevents investment in the company and means its harder to compete with larger companies (which the law dosn't apply to...surprise, surprise - they advised the government to implement it).
2. They have spent over $1.5bn on the 'millenium dome' which is probably going to be bulldozed next year.
3. Hospital waiting lists have gone up despite billions being spent on the NHS. They made a promise that "no one would wait over two years for an operation" but then changed the rules so that you have to wait before you are on a waiting list (so you don't get counted) and if you've been on a list for two years you just get moved to a different list!
4. Schools are closing and good teachers are being replaced with unskilled 'helpers'. Liam's school has just changed from a nursery school to a nursery class which means they don't have to pay for proper teachers.
5. Petrol costs over $2 per litre, the roads are in the worst state since records began and there is congestion everywhere. His right hand man gave a speech telling us to use our cars less and avoid making unneccessary car journeys but went from his hotel to the conference centre to give it (400 yards) in a 6litre Janguar...his wife went in a separate car exactly the same.
6. We can't go more than a few months without a train crash. That's when they run at all.
7. They let the flood defenses in many areas run-down despite warnings so we now have massive flooding in many areas. Over 40 rivers in the UK are on high-flood-alert and people have been evacuated.
Other than that...it's great!
