Explain yourself!

Did you ever see him attempting to drink a pint in his constituency Labour club? He was unable to take a decent gulp. He looked like a budgie pecking at seeds.

The yoof of today eh? Bring back Michael Foot, that's what I say.

Blair was a good prime minister, the country is a better country thanks to him and his government. Unfortunately he will be remembered for Iraq which was a massive mistake. Anyone who has 10 years at the top is going to make mistakes, but he did much more good than bad.

I think history will be kinder to him than just remembering him for Iraq. Like him or not he changed a whole lot of the way our politics works, and again you may or may not like it, but you'd have to say he's been massively influential.

I can't abide Blair and his weak policies. And for my money, no matter what else he did, Iraq was a crime far too great to be ignored. I must admit, there was no better choice and I'm not for a minute suggesting anyone else would have done better, I just hate what he represents and the smug way he turned a party with morals and beliefs in to one without a shred of dignity. Basically the Tory party.

He made them electable though.

Then get out of our country right now. Go on. Bloody foreigner.

I know how to make a meat and potato pie!

Tbh anyone would have made them electable after the piss poor Tory leadership of previous years. I still hate him though. Not as much as Prescott obviously.

You're probably right, but i don't think it will be possible to think about Blair without thinking about Iraq, which is a shame because i like him.
