  Just one of the reasons I despise the man. Like the rest of the bunch of hypocrites they have abandoned all the ideals that they once claimed to have and are now more than happy to have their nose in the trough.

  For all the criticism of Thatcher (who transformed the country from the tatters it was left in under labour) they have made things much, much worse in terms of difference between rich and poor.

  Notice too how labour donators seem to have particularly done well, as has Mrs Blair - her latest contribution sapping money from local education and giving it to fundamentalist muslims in bogus human rights legalities.

  Doesn't matter what label you put on any of them, Republican, Democrat, Labour, Socialist, WHATEVER... they are all POLITICIANS and in it for themselves and their cronies..... what a bunch of flim-flam men.... the bunch of 'em!

  Oh Brother!! Sounds like she's hedging her bets.

  Sadly Simon where is the alternative to Blair and his cronies (was wonderful to see him squirm on TV the other day when the NHS problems were shoved under his nose) - the Tories have no policies that will win for them - the Lib Dems don't stand a chance

  Also think you are forgetting that under the fragrant Margaret we had what many ( me included) call 18 years of Tory misrule -division and strife again with only the top layer of society gaining - remember the Poll Tax? As for putting the country back on its feet - not sure how she did that - what industry have we left COAL ? No thanks to Margaret - STEEL _-No thanks to Margaret - FISHING No thanks to Ted (Heath) - sadly only lesson the failed Blair Revolutions has shown me is that all politicians are the same - self-serving creeps with no principles and an army of cronies. Whatever happened to REAL characters in politics - men / women with some backbone - Attlee after the War, MacMillan, Heseltine, Healey and others later on - sadly the coming election holds all the promise of more patronising from the elite as we are viewed as mere electoral fodder - think it about time that the Middle Class (in no elitist sense) stood up for themselves / likewise the pensioners - and said enough is enough - govern for US not yourselves

  they have made things much, much worse in terms of difference between rich and poor.

  How would it have been differnet under the other party? Maybe the difference would have increased even more?

  I think that Tony Blair has done a great job. I've never been so well off financially since his party took over. Nor has Her Ladyship. My Mum has more benefits than she ever had too. He's likeable, eminently qualified to mix with statesmen and is an excellent ambassador for our country.

  Great job, Tony, you've got my vote in the next election. Now just get a bit heavier with GB and you'll be fine.
