Mr.Blair took his family on their summer holidays to Egypt, twice, as the guest of that nice President Mubarak, whilst he was Prime Minister.

Don't start playing party politics.

As Cashy said, they're all cut from the same cloth.

In this case, it was stuffed in Cherie's bulging suitcase, filled with bargain Egyptian 2-fold cotton poplin bed sheets.

Don't disillusion me.

I thought the Arab world was waiting with bated breath, for the next proclaimation about the situation, from that bald Yorkshire man. The one, who in true tight arse Yorkshire style, shares a double room with his young special advisor lad.

No, they won't be.

Though the people who have answered the advertisment to be his new special advisor, probably are.

Well no surprise that he ain't conned you..I've got a funny feeling even the "Gullible" will crack on to him and Clegg in the not to distant future.. but then the hardcore "head in the sand" bods will support this disaster of a government to the bitter end.

I don't know if any of you are aware of UKuncut, which is a grassroots movement by ordinary people to get large companies, who pay little or no tax in this country to pay up.
UK Uncut

They describe themselves as direct action against the cuts. I first heard of them at the beginning of November, when they had started targetting vodaphone. They are now having nationwide protests every weekend.

Maybe you posting this now would have meant a little more if you'd have done it 5 years ago, as I remember very little was don't by Blair, Brown and co in this direction when they had the chance, no, instead they chose to wreck the pension scheme for millions of people to carry on the tax and spend ethos and when that ran dry the started to borrow like there was no tomorrow

I don't know why you don't save yourself some time, and effort, and just post this...

Thank you.

I always assumed no one bothered reading mine.

Very gratifying to know different.

Re: would you support protest?

I have been on protest marches, for specific issues, but things would have to change radically before I took to the streets, to demand a different style of government, from the type we have now.

It's far from perfect, but I feel lucky to live in this country, and don't want to see what we have now overthrown.

It being your neck of the woods, think about you everytime it's on the news.

Take care.
