Like I said, you have to be objective. No rose coloured spex and no blind dismissal. I cant stick him, but he did a lot more that was OK than Thatcher ever did. Or his governments did.

Blair got in and I waited for certain policies/Laws to be repealed, I waited and waited, and waited ad infinitum.

Re: T.Blair

Blair was an out right liar, he singlehandedly destroyed what little faith people had of politics, in this country.

He invaded a country on a false premiss, for it now to explode into secortarian fighting.

The expense scandle buried the destroyed faith, it will now never be reserected.

Re: T.Blair

More spineless whinging. Politics is like life - you have to work at it to get anything out of it. So find someone or something to have some faith in and campaign for it, rather than be a passive consumer of a huckster like Blair or Cameron. Become active politically yourself instead of sitting there waiting for someone else to do something about it. Look at Tony Benn - he got more active the older he got. He never stopped struggling for change. Old age is no excuse.

Re: T.Blair

Tony Ben was a champagne socialist, never gave him any credence.

He knew nothing of the working people of this country, just craptrap idealism.
