[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't think it was that Vashy. Tony Blair saw himself as a Messiah. He still sees himself as a messiah. Nothing will change him.
Why would he make the party into a pale version of the Conservative party if he hated the vales of that party? That is what he did. He continued in the vein of a pale version of the Tory party.
And daft supporters followed his rallying cries, believing every word that dropped off his tongue. The tide turned when he took us into,what was,an illegal conflict( though it wasn't deemed such by the judiciary of the time).
The man is a war criminal and should be in the dock for his dirty dealings.
I have such a loathing for what that man did to this country. If you can imagine how you feel about Margaret Thatcher and then magnify it a million times you might be somewhere near.
