It doesn't confuse me Barrie........it is a ploy to make himself look better.
When someone like GB comes in and makes a dogs breakfast of things, it makes what the previous incumbent did, pale into insignificance.

But my concern is that Tony Blair knew that GB had neither the charm or the intellect to lead the Labour party, but he was too much of a coward to do the decent thing and appoint someone else(either that or GB knows some really dirty stuff about TB).

What kind of patriot leaves the country to be run by someone who patently wasn't fit for the task?
