Re: Tony Is Off Soon
dont really understand how anyone can determine the employment figures, the way they have been changed/doctored etc to include parttime work and other things.:rolleyes:

They've always been doctored. Under the Tories we had those YOP schemes, but they still couldn't hide the three million offical unemployed. That's something we don't have today, the jobs are out there, if people want them. |
Re: Tony Is Off Soon
Blair was certainly true to himself...as a deceitful, two-faced, manipulator.
He has taken the country into a disastrous and totally unnecessary war which is set to go on indefinitely. British lads, and Iraqis are dying because he meekly trotted along behind Bush in his quest for oil. He has taken billions of pounds from us ordinary tax payers to "improve the NHS". Instead, much of it has been wasted on bureacracy and ill-conceived new technology projects - the prime example is the mind-boggling £12.4 billion wasted on an IT project that isn't wanted and doesn't work. This money could have paid for 26,000 doctors for ten years or 65,000 nurses for ten years or every hospital built since 1997 three times over or 200 years of currently "too expensive" Alzheimer's drugs. But no, it's been spent on "Tony's project". He has supinely given away a large part of our EU rebate without securing anything in return - like the much needed reform of the ruinously costly Common Agricultural Policy, for instance. In 1997 he promised to be "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime". Despite the frequent attempts by his spin doctors to massage the figures, does anyone really feel safer? ...but apart from all that, yes, he's not bad. :D |
Re: Tony Is Off Soon
Totally with you on the war in Iraq, and the increase in the amount of needless pen pushers brought in, to supposedly run the NHS.

Re: Tony Is Off Soon
I'm another one, I liked the guy too. I'll be sad to see him go. He certainly had balls ....

Re: Tony Is Off Soon
I'll definitely be sad to see him go.
Just a quick glance at the people in line to take over post-Blair/post-Labour is a scary sight. As much as I am against the war in Iraq, I can't say that if I was in Mr Blair's shoes I would have done anything differently. Can you? |

Re: Tony Is Off Soon
My point was specific to the Iraq war, WH; in that if I had been in Mr Blair's shoes at the time with the information that he had then I can't say I would've done anything differently and I doubt many others could do so without hindsight taking over.
Of course Blair has made mistakes & I can't speak for anyone else but in my opinion he's done a very good job over the past 10 years. |
