Re: Bye-bye Mr Blair
In my humble opinion, the only salutation Blair will get from me me is "goodbye and good riddance"! I would be really pleased at the news of his departure if it were not for the fact that Brown is to take over as Prime Minister - a disaster followed by a catastrophe. Both are proved to have lied not only to Parliament but to the people of this country. Blair was elected on the promise that he would serve a full term, he hasn't and he never had any intention of doing so. Brown grabbed billions from the pension system and now expects the tax payer to plug the pensions black hole he created. So much for a whiter than white administration. So much for financial prudence. We deserve better!
I do not agree that it is probably too soon to judge Blair's "legacy". It is clear for all to see despite the lies, spin, half truths, evasion, arrogance and control freakery.The Brown legacy is also clearly visible - and he hasn't even begun his premiership yet. It is a return to those good old core Labour values; TAX and SPEND.
"Oh", but I hear I hear you all cry "what about the Health Service?" Well, what about it. Have any of you really had a good look at the way it is run round here? Have you had a good look at the way that Blackburn Royal is haemorraging money? And can you really put your hand on your heart and say that the service is better? "Oh" I hear you all bleat, "What about the Billions more in funding put into schools?" Yeah, what about it. Levels of illiteracy are rising. The cost of compensation for assaults by pupils on teachers is spiralling out of control. Teachers are still underpayed and undervalued and the nobody can make up their minds about the correct way to teach kids to read, let alone teach them anything else. "Education. Education.Education"? Spin. Spin. Spin!
I am not even going to go near Law and Order and Immigration, I am not sure my arteries would stand the strain.
And all you lot seem to be able to do by way of political debate is to make pathetic comparisons with the Government of Margaret Thatcher. For Goodness Sake People, get the chip off your shoulders and open your eyes!
