Tony Blair
Posted by: Clay Bingham on 14 September 2010
Apologies in advance for commenting on one of your own but I just came back from a bike ride and caught the end of an interview with Tony Blair on Public Broadcasting's Newshour. Having watched him before he became Prime Minister, on Prime Ministers Question time, and at other times throughout his career, I continue to find him an exceptional talent. Articulate and thoughtful, he has a perspective that, agree or disagree, is certainly hard to ignore. Would have been an interesting choice for EU President. And yes, I realize he is not well loved at home. Maybe that is something that will change over time.

I recall that GB was terrorized by the unions in the early 80's until Thatcher broke their backs!

Workers of the world (GB) unite, just roll over and get your tummys tickled.
No point in having a voice just do as the nice people in charge say, you know they've got their best interests at heart.
Bring back kids down the mine and cotton mills. Oh sorry they have all been closed.
May be that 's what all those unions guys were shouting about then, maybe they have something to say now ?
