Tony Blair With Andrew Marr
I have to admit I was impressed.
I do not begrudge it all. It was fantastic, riveting television – if you’re a politics junkie like me. I know there will be vociferous opinion against but I thought he was marvellous, quite inspiring and utterly convincing.
He always was the best possible successor to Margaret Thatcher and that shone through in the interview. He’s explicitly not a socialist, so why he persists in the Labour Party I don’t know. I can see why he supports the coalition. In fact, he’d make the perfect coalition PM with Dave and Nick as his deputies! Now there’s a thought!
I never voted for him but always rather liked him. I confess I allowed myself to be swayed by the Bliar and anti-Blair brigade but yes, even I am susceptible to propaganda. Recently, I have given serious attention to his involvement in the Israel Palestine dispute. I have been deeply impressed at his even-handedness. It is a talent to remain so impartial in such a heated and emotional situation. It convinced me of his integrity.
That is the quality that shines through. It is the quality that matters to me most, that I think means most of all. He is a man of integrity. I do not agree with him on everything by any means but…
He is a great man.

Peter,
I was just about to hit the sack and saw your post. I am so impressed with you and your thoughts on Tony Blair.
In fact, he’d make the perfect coalition PM with Dave and Nick as his deputies! Now there’s a thought!

In some small way, perhaps, just perhaps, I helped you to see that yes, HE IS A GREAT man. Now, what do you think REAL Old Labour will make of his calls re Iran.
Or even Dave & Nick?
Oh, leadership, where art thou?
