Fair on Blair?

Question

British Bull Dog or Bush's Poodle?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, Tony Blair had the ability and charisma to be a great Prime Minister but instead he became a virtual dictator.

His 'New Labour' has only been sustained by his sycophantic Cabinet and Back-Benchers.

They were made fully aware if they opposed any of his policies or actions they ran the risk of losing their cushy jobs, grace and favour residences, free first class travel, free holidays (for some) and lucrative pensions.

To placate the unions he made John Prescott his deputy. He was never left in charge to make meaningful decisions while Tony was out of the country.

Every member of his party was obliged to sing from the same hymn sheet and repeat, ad infintum, all the spin, scaremongering about the Tories, and nauseating repetitive propaganda.

The long list of Ministers who have 'erred' have always had his 'full backing'. The phrase 'there has been no wrongdoing' is as worn out as the wlecome mat at a brothel.

The hacneyed phrases became wearisome; "We must draw a line under this and move on", "We must look at the Big Picture", "We must go forward with our policies for a better Britain", "We are a Listening Government".

Like all of these Ministers he himself has now lost all respect and has to be laboriously prised out of his ivory towers.

Old Labour party members are not happy with the direction he has taken. Many correspondents decry shareholders as being the capitalist demons. Do they ever consider where Tony and his Cabinet keep their 'spare' cash? How did they accumulate their fortunes? Has the gap between the rich and poor narrowed or widened under his policies?

Tony Blair and Cherie both have good incomes and will earn millions from lecture tours and the publications of their memoirs.

Considering the Hutton and Butler Inquires, and others that followed. it was not the Cabinet that set the 'terms of reference' only the Prime Minister.

However, there is no doubt there is still a large store of whitewash remaining in the cupboard.

I will add no comment on The Iraq, Afghan, Bosnia and other theatres of conflict.

Tony Blair had grand illusions concerning his place in history. Unfortunately, he will be remembered but not for the reason he had hoped for.

Bulldogs and Poodles are 'man's best friend'. Please do not associate them with politicians.

Answer 2

Definitely Bush's Poodle. Why should we be fair on Blair he wasn't fair on Iraq or Lebanon. He doesn't listen to the people of his own party or country, he wants to go it alone, well I hope he does go it alone into oblivion.I was delighted to see him squirm yesterday when his own people turned against him. To many of our sons are being killed on foreign shores and for what ? I detest George Bush and all he stands for. I like American people and I am thankful that most of todays big stars are coming out in force against him but with so much vote rigging going on both here and America, what chance do we have ? There are good politicians out there if only they could get the chance to show themselves. This two party system we have is not working and does not benefit the people, one party ruling doesn't work either, we need true representation and one party isn't enough to represent all, the people of Britain.

Answer 3

Bush the poodle

Answer 4

Poodle

Answer 5

Bush's Poodle. Blair is more interested in being remembered as a great statesman than actually serving the country as he was elected to do. All he will be remembered for is being the worst prime minister in living memory.

Answer 6

Blair would not be under pressure to resign had he listened and paid more attention to the people who elected him.

He stated in his speech yesterday that the needs of the electorate must be a priority for the Government, it is just a pity he has ignored the feelings of the people until now, when it is too late for him.

He must surely have been aware of the feelings of the majority of the people here in the UK as every day we read in the newspapers of the electorate complaining of their views being simply ignored by him as he seemed more concerned with the plight of criminals and immigrants, that he has allowed to swamp this country.

It will take years, if ever, to undo the damage he has done to the country with his arrogant attitude to matters of importance to his own people which he ignored.

As for his stand on "" human rights "" well need I say more!!

Will be interesting to see how he reacts now that he has been forced to resign, due to public pressure, whether he concentrates more on the matters he should have been dealing with or whether he continues his crusade to stick his nose into other countries affairs.

This has been his down-fall I am sure, so Tony, you will now pay the price for your total dis-regard of matters which were of high importance to the people that elected you.

Should his successor continue with his policies I am sure it will not only be good-bye Tony, but good-bye labour.

Answer 7

Hmm - the action is a sort of particularly argued 2-techniques and whilst i'm an atheist I reckon Blair would have extra beneficial than adequate wriggle room to win a debate on whether faith is 'A tension of superb'. specific religions will of direction declare (their version of) God is the only source of superb and that evil is basically guy-made, even to the quantity of believers violently disagreeing with others/among themselves. An oily flesh presser like Blair is definitely adept at handling the two 'black & white' subject concerns like a juggler - whilst an atheist is arguing in basic terms one difficulty (God does not exist). it is impossible to refute/deny faith in some style of deity hasn't accomplished some good. Hitchens might particularly win a debate on a action of 'God or no God ?' - yet then Blair might by no ability have agreed to argue certainly one of those action. actual data isn't his greatest in shape.

Answer 8

Bush's Poodle for sure.

Answer 9

Deffo Poodle he thinks he's bush

Answer 10

Blair may have been justified in saying re Northern Ireland "I feel the hand of history on our shoulders". But in the last five years the rest of the world and most of his "subjects" can see a hand - but it doesn't belong to history and it isn't on his shoulder.
