No opinion. He was not that bright. Easily influenced
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I used to have a higher regard for Blair before that happened. When Bush went to war and Blair blindly complied, I lost whatever respect I had for the man.

He is a skilled politician, though, intelligent and well read. He just isn't the type to lead.

"I am a socialist not through reading a textbook that has caught my intellectual fancy, nor through unthinking tradition, but because I believe that, at its best, socialism corresponds most closely to an existence that is both rational and moral. It stands for cooperation, not confrontation; for fellowship, not fear. It stands for equality."
Tony Blair

Quote
"We are a left of centre party, pursuing economic prosperity and social justice as partners and not as opposites".
Tony Blair

He was very weasel like in appearance.  Yeah i think in his actions, too.

Used to be in a rock band called Ugly Rumours


Yes i agree with Odeon that he was a very skilled politician and his relationship with former U.S President Bush was damaging.
He did win three consecutive general elections.

He introduced several policies which i supported :
Minimum wage,  Freedom of Information Act, and The Human Rights Act

On his first election victory he stated he had three priorities :  EDUCATION  EDUCATION  EDUCATION!  and he did increase the Education budget,  also the national health service where he introduced a time scale to waiting lists.

He played an important role in 'the good friday' agreement which led to relative peace in Northern Ireland for the first time in thirty years.

In general, i quite liked him.  He was slightly to the right, a bit too much for my own preference but i think he knew that had to be to get Labour in government.


blah blah blah

Wait, wait!!  He's not Prime Minister any more? ? ? ? ? Who have I been meeting with? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.
