Seems like you have sussed this out correctly - What this Government is really good at is creating new taxes. And with regard to the air that we breath, yes we can expect higher Council Tax charges in areas with better air quality.

This prime minister has usurped a lot of the policy-making authority away from the foreign secretary. It wouldn't make much difference if she was the reincarnation of Metternich, or couldn't find Wales on a map, and Blair knows it. Her point, then, is to fill in for Ken Dodd when he wants a night off. Even his fans are hard-pressed to spot the difference.\n\nIncidentally, she has two grace and favour homes - 1 Carlton Gardens and Chevening.

I think Tony Blair is a decent person. As a politician, however, his refusal to admit wrong doing in entering Iraq has scarred him very deeply in peoples opinion of him . His term in office has seen several deceptions of the British (and international) public, from Iraq to the trusworthiness of the cabinet whom he surrounds himself with.\nIf his argument is one of compassion, then why not depose Robert Mugabe, who is as deplorable as Hussein. \n\nCompassion cannot be selective, It would seem that Blair's has been shown to be.

I believe that, technically, boss' car is correct, however boss's car is accepted nowadays as correct.  I'm sorry not to be of more help.

No. Tony Blair and others have tried to pull that one.

I am assuming that you are an American, writing in American English.\n\nWhat follows is my opinion, not what I would consider grammatically correct.\n\nIf the quote was *extremely* and *obviously* British, then no. If there was any possible confusion, then yes.\n\nLet me illustrate:\n\nTony Blair, Prime Minister of England, wrote, "The defence of our great country is in disarray."  That clearly comes from a British source.\n\nHowever.\n\nSam Snodgrass wrote, "When the defence of a country is amuck, we can all find ourself dead."  In this case, I would probably add [sic], as it is not clear that it was a British speaking, AND I want to make sure that people KNOW that I didn't mistype the word!\n\nLawrence\nhttp://www.truebiblesermons.com

Why wouldn't he? Prime Minister Blair is a guest of our country, as well as a guest of our President and First Lady.  Was Prime Minister Blair a "poodle" when he was a guest of President Clinton, and when he was taken to dinner or guest at a State Dinner?  I won't even dignify most of the trashy posts to this question, except to say that what I have read so far is a poor reflection on who ever wrote it.  Good thing this is all anonymous.

Blair's first term has exhilirating after so many years of prison life under Thatcher and her Major Puppet, but the last couple of years/months he really lost control. He made a collossal mistake on Iraq (thanks GWB) and I believe his Home policies have reflected that mistake ever since. The recent election result also states that the alternative isn't much better.

Technically speaking yes. In 1995, John Major resigned as Conservative Party leader but still remained Prime Minister, so in theory Tony Blair could resign as Labour Party Leader but still be PM.

I din't see the Question and Answer bit, but Bush and Blair's initial statements seemed pretty much of a piece to me, not least because they had obviously pre-agreed roughly what they would say. Actually, it is not unusual for Blair to sound quite rambling when he is not reading a prepared speech.\n\nTo give them credit, Bush and Blair admitted they had got some things wrong about Iraq, e.g. on Weapons of Mass Destruction. Politicans find it incredibly hard to admit they have made a mistake, so let's not embarass them further for poor delivery of their speech when they do own up to their mistakes.\n\nBlair had just flown to Bagdad and back as well as to the United States, so it would not be surprising if he were tired, but that is part of a politician's life.\n\nThe next United Kingdom election has to be held by May 2010, but the current Prime Minister can choose an earlier date. Since Thatcher won in 1979 Prime Ministers have always gone to the polls after four years, except John Major when he knew he was going to lose and held on until 1997.\n\nBlair has said that he is going to retire before the next election, which is causing him a lot of problems because of speculation as to exactly when he will resign. In the United Kingdom, if the Prime Minster resigns there does not have to be an election: the Government party elects a new leader who is then appointed Prime Minister by the Queen. Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of the Excequer (Finance Minster) is hot favourite to take over from Blair as Leader of the Labour Party, even though Blair and Brown are reputed not to like each other.\n\nThe Labour Government and the Conservative opposition are pretty close in the UK opinion polls at present (on the latest figures the Conservatives are four points ahead), so either party could well win the next election, neither party having an overall majority also being a very possible result.

Freedom !!!!!!!!!  In the form of Democracy.   The British GOVT is OK , Prime Minister Blair really runs things well.  The Queen along with the rest of the Monarchy, is a tribute to the past, the History and what the Country symbolizes, but on a day to day of GOVT activities, Mr. Prime Minister Blair runs with it.
