OT: Tony Blair

Don't for goodness sake think the state of this Country is all his fault, it's the whole Labour Governments fault. Blaming it just on him could let in another of his Labour cronies so nothing changes. We should be like the USA, two terms and you are out, then we wouldn't have had Thatcher for that disastrous third term either.

I was listening to Radio 4 today and they were making a huge fuss that a woman might stand for election as deputy prime minister.Sad for a party that bends over backwards to appear to give equal opportunities to all regardless of race sex leanings or ability that can't find one woman from it's ranks to stand for leader surely there must be one who believes she is less incompetant than the buggers we have now?

I think it's a brilliant trick.

Poor old Tony takes the blame for everything and exits stage left with a Dukedom and a shed load of cash from his book and Gordon takes over with a clean sheet.

You have to admit that it's politics at its best. The people in charge of both the country and the media showing complete contempt for a population dazzled by the gutter press obsessed with the cult of personality.
