Well, UB and I both agree that Tony Blair is quite probably our greatest leader since Churchill.

With another term in office coming up - he could turn out to be the greatest leader the country has ever known!

Face up to it - there is NO alternative (I'm sure he's worried about an immigrants son and/or a drunken sickly ginger scot!)

Come on, get behind your leader!!!

Well the programme certainly didn't drum up any sympathy for Tony from me. Since I didn't vote for the menace I don't feel betrayed by him, just by the dullards that did vote for him!

Indeed, the Poll that sees Blair re-instated in his rightful place, as the greatest leader the UK has ever seen!

Next to Clint Eastwood, he is my Hero!

So, two thirds of the electorate don't like Blair or the government. However, two thirds don't feel there's an alternative. (Times this morning)

Doesn't feel like a democracy to me.

I suppose you have tp admit that he conned old Labour into memebership of a right wing party and Prescott into selling his soul to the devil! Hypocrisy rules, for the moment.

Thanks Les. You are, as always correct. It *is* much more interesting. BTW if I have offended you at any time in the past let me say now and forever - I'm sorry. Cheers.

When Maggie was in office I hardly ever met anyone that said they liked her yet she kept being swept in, maybe it's not fashionable to say you like TB but.....
