Sticking to his guns

I don’t suppose for one minute Tony Blair is trying to blow smoke up our arses, but what an amazing turn around.
Three years ago he kicks Ken Livingstone out of the Labour Party for standing against the official Labour candidate, saying Livingstone will be a disaster for London. Livingstone won the election and set about proving Blair right.

Now, with a mayoral election coming up this year, Tony realises that enough Londoners are on drugs to re-elect Ken Livingstone and give the government a kick in the teeth.
Therefore Ken Livingstone is doing a fanatstic job and has been readmitted to the Labour Party. For a Prime Minister with ‘no reverse gear’, that’s pretty good manoeuvring.

I think Tony Blair is handsome. Now that I’m in Europe and seeing more of him on TV, I pause to take a lingering look before changing the channel.

Yuo’ve got to feel sorry for Blair. He gets to be the first Labour PM for years, probably thinks he’s the ‘new kid on the block’ and that its all going to exciting and new. What happens? The Gunslinger from across the pond drags him into a Middle East war and the local looney left representative becomes mayor. I wonder how handsome Tony will look in a couple of years after his hair has fallen out.

Jen your exactly the type of voter Tony’s aiming at but you’ve got to change your passport.

We’ll see how we go next week. Do you think one fancy hotel will be enough to make me want to stay for life? Doubt it. The way to changing my passport status is through my stomach.

A good politician changes gears - temporarily or permanently - depending upon the value system and ambitions of the individual.

A crafty git does and says anything to stay in power, Tony Blair wants to be PM until 2010.

Ditto, Chris. He’s one of many.
