Bush & Blair are two such alien species. \n\nTheir purpose is to lick each others balls and proclaim someone else is screwing them with weapons of mass destruction!

The reshuffle was instigated way before Prescott's and Clarke's miseries. It wouldn't have helped just to sack Prescott (which Blair didn't anyway) - Blair NEED to do something on education and the NHS, and he MUST do something on foreign affairs and Europe - hence the major reshuffle!

lol I've been trying to make sense of the "Prezza's Luvva" story (excuse the tabloidism!). As a generally Prescott-shaped fat grumpy BS-merchant myself, I always KNEW I was ridiculously lucky that my wife agreed to marry me. Prescott couldn't work that much out and had to have an affair as well?\nBesides, he's got (at least in fairly laughable theory) the second busiest job in the country. Plus a marriage. How the hell did he find the time to have an affair? Will we all get a  tax rebate for "Time used by the Deputy Prime Minister to have an affair rather than attendin to ministerial business"?\n\nShort answer to the "would you have an affair with Prescott?" question, no, no and hell no, with an extra order of not-on-your-life on the side.

I strongly disagree. Their foreign policy is disastrous. Look at Iraq continually sliding to all-out civil war. Look at the support Bush gave the repressive regime in Azerbaijan just because it is a supporter in the war on terror. Even though I agree with both Bush and Blair on social issues, I would not think twice of electing even the most liberal candidate to replace them.

Blair , a failed primeminister without a vision,without policy but yet the ego of his ugly wife and himself knows no bounds.\nThey do not care about our country or any other but just how history will remember them.\nSo forcing himself onto the world stage , in his mind balances the books for a failed economy in britain.\nTony..sorry but youre a loser, you will never have the prestige at home or abroad that mrs thatcher had.\ngo gracefully now! before you do any more damage

I don't believe so.  I'm not much into gray areas...I think in terms of good and bad...no inbetween.  Evil is evil and thats that.

It's my country - and I love it.\n\nBut I hate what it has become in the eyes of the world. through Blair's stupidity\n\nHOW can anyone with a brain respect Blair? Bush's little lapdog? Desperate for his place in history, no matter how many people have to die?\n\nAssume the poster who hates imperialism also hates the US?\n\nBTW Simo - what's YOUR answer? You're in uniform in your pic - don't think I don't support the troops in places like Iraq and Afgahistan - I just don't think you should have been sent.\n\nASKSULEMAN is an idiot - it was the US who forced the UK into the invasion of Iraq. He cites a lot of sources, but I doubt he's read any of them.

What separates the bad/evil from the not so bad/evil is that the bad/evil do not hesitate, while the other hesitates and is softer and more sentimental.  But that doesn't necessarily make them good.  Just hypocrites.  \n\nIf one puts his mind into it and has a no-nonsense methodology, I don't see why the bad/evil could be a step ahead. \n\nFrom what I've observed, democratic countries have laws and procedures that mock the system which is supposed to uphold the law.  They give criminals the means to commit crime, then they waste tax payers' money trying to catch up with the criminals.  Nonsense!

I think that Mr. Blair is doing exactly like a serial killer who used to attend the funeral of his victims and swears against the one who killed them> Remember Mr. Blir that despite the tyranny in the Saddam era who was supported, and given  chemical weapons when the US, and UK fought against Iran after the shah by proxy( Saddam) the Iraqis were enjoinig better security and health care during  your ocupation of Iraq.

Blair is a hypocritical powermonger. He's not sorry about anything else other than he is gradually being edged out.

He has rarely allowed the Cabinet to rein him in and he is often arrogantly unresponsive to the public he serves. In these respects he acts in a 'Presidential' manner. Something quite odious to most Brits.\n\nA particularly good example of this was his near unilateral decision to put UK troops in Iraq. The people of Britain were firmly against it, his top legal advisor was against it (but was ordered to change his ruling to suit Tony). The Cabinet was against and so was most of the rest of Parliament. Even the UN was against it. But still, Tony and George Dubya cooked up the propaganda on WMD and did it anyway.\n\nBritain is however, a pretty effective democracy and Tony is now paying the price of his Presidential manner and his arrogance.  He is now deeply unpopular with a public that has him sussed, his own Ministers are turning against him and the legal decision on Iraq is being openly questioned. \n\nTony knows he has to go before he's pushed. He also knows his place in history will be marked by his arrogant mistake in taking Britain into an unjust war for all the wrong reasons. \n\nHe's been a good leader in most respects, but all of us have our failings - and his arrogance has been his undoing.

Blair and his minions have destroyed this country.\nThey have intoduced 3,000 new criminal offences.\nThey have put cameras everywhere to follow our every move\nThey have destroyed the NHS; the Armed forces; the Police; our education system; the Pension system; the countryside; planning laws; the civil service; trust in government.\n\nthey surrendered to the IRA and the EU.\nthey lie with impunity\n\nThey pledge a billion pounds to Africa so that Blair can become a world statesmen when we have feral children living in OUR cities.\n\nThe criminal, the illegal immigrant and the drug users have more rights than the honest hardworking citizens who pay for everything.\n\nWe are spied on by our banks, solicitors, accountants, estate agents all of whom risk going to prison if they do not inform on us.\n\nTheir list of their crimes is endless.\nGod help us because Labour will not.

They are tough on SOME 'crimes' like little old ladies who can't pay their council tax bills etc!!....they try to be tough on others....like taking a retailler to court (Costing over 1/4 million of tax payers money) because he was selling the wrong colour 'jelly babies'!! and of course spending over 5 times that much trying to stop us having free speech in this country!!... So if you look at that side, the answer is a resounding YES!!! However, if you then look at the otherside of the coin...Murderers, rapists, terrorists etc!! they can't do enough to help them, they get cushy cells, AND early release to commit again!! Is that justice??? According to 'Blair and co' yes!!

Sounds good on the surface, but there is far too much room for abuse of power, as if the government isn't already abusing its power, but I won't go on about the obvious.\n\nShort answer: No.
