was our tony wrong to announce departure when he did?

Answer 1

Just something else the duffer got wrong - says he will go - but doesn't know when or where to!

Answer 2

He should have announced it and LEFT quite a while before - perhaps when the Butler report was published and he took full responsibility for the intelligence debacle yet, like the hypocrite he is, failed to behave in the way that Greg Dyke was forced to by falling on his own sword.

Better yet, of course, would have been if the electorate had seen sense and not elected him.

Answer 3

I think 'Mr Bleugh' puts the country in danger announcing a departure date given the state of the world in this day and age, wouldn't it be convenient that a terrorist strike came on the morning after he left.

Sooner the tories get back in the better! At least they had some decent policies and though I hate the fact that they got rid of the best leader this country ever had, its better than the deadbeats of today's 'government'.

Answer 4

Yes - it's a similar situation with football managers when they announce there going to retire etc.

He has lost a lot of authority in doing so as other have to look to their futures and position themselves accordingly

Answer 5

He had no choice, it settled down the hype, he would have been better announcing the departure of prescott.

Answer 6

He is an extremly cunning and clever man so don't put it past him to pull some mythical reason out of the hat and stay on. At this point Gordon will commit 'hari- kari'.

Answer 7

he could turn everything around by giving the 64% of britains what they want, out of Europe

Answer 8

too little too late
