  ... then he's even dumber than he looks !

  The results are coming in for the local council elections and Tony Blair / Labour are getting a thumping

  The message is simple: Don't lie to us and treat us like idiots and don't put the will of some foreign leader above the will of your own people.

  There were even suggestions by the Tories that Labour may be heading for one of its worst ever results in such elections.

  As the first results started coming in, it appeared the Labour vote was sliding badly, as widely predicted.

  For Tony Blair, his very future as Labour leader and prime minister could be on the line if it appears he really has become an electoral liability.

  Roll-on the General election! We may even be able to set the scene for much needed change in other countries (do you think Blair will still be Bush's "best pal" if he has no political & military support to offer?)

  Simon, I don't know how you felt about Tony before, but my impression over here of him, was that he was a fairly straight forward guy. I did like him. But the people need to be heard and acknowledged.

  Lets just hope the same thing happens to the Shrub Administration.

  (sorry all Bush supporters out here, this is just my opinion....I have a brother thats been stuck in Iraq for over a year.)

  It may be that both Blair and Bush get moved out. I hate to think of the tax increases we'll face here if Bush is replaced.

  it will be interesting to see who wins what elections, if blair loses and bush wins, it will be interesting to see what develops, also if they both lose it will be interesting, or if bush loses and tony manages to swing it, who knows, and if they both win, maybe they will redeem themselves and in a few years the world will be praising them... not likely, but it will be interesting to see.
