Of course he didn't...he was arrogance personified...all he wanted was a place in he history books and lots of money.....he succeeded in that aim all right.
You think Blair delivered do you......? Education, education education......yet any manager who interviewed young people will tell you that even some of those with useless degrees were not educated for a place in a working environment.
Tough on crime...tough on the causes of crime....that was a real laugh.
Criminals never had it so good......I'd like to know where you get your rose coloured glasses from...just so that I could get myself a pair

so working for £2.50 an hour is fair. your denying the standard of living went up . so how come we never had a million and half under 25s on the rock and roll like we do now. there was more police on the beat at any other time. burglaries went down that's a fact violent crime went down that's a fact the proceeds of crime bill was passed the police equipment was modernised small business thrived and then credit crunch came. there was 3 million unemployed when labour came to power when labour left there was the biggest worldwide recession and there was still less unemployed when labour entered power. people were brought into the fold with sure start schemes the disabled weren't stigmatised the list goes on.
