Your not cussing up a storm like I thought you would. :(

Ah well, I may not share Tony's politics, but he is a friend to count on.

Say Cut, did you vote for Labour?

[Universal]

thanks toni blair.

[seruriermarshal]

thanks toni blair .

[BlackRain]

Seriously,

A big thanks to England and to Mr. Blair.

I know some of you English lads may not appreciate his decision to support the US in the coalition. But, alot of us Americans really appreciate the support of the English people when some many turned their backs on us.

The biggest debt is to the Brits who won't being coming home and their families. One, I am afraid, can not be repaid.

[American Patriot]

Thanks, tone.

You see there we American's go again in our philistine ways. When I think English, I assume that covers all the empire.

[Maine Finn]

Your stalwart friendship in what increasingly seems to be a world gone mad is greatly appreciated by millions of Americans. The Anglo-American alliance shall remain ever-important throughout these troubled times.

You have epitomized true leadership of the proud British people. Tell the BBC to go to Hell.

Indeed, thanks to Blair, he and Britain as a whole are a steadfast ally. Same goes for the Aussies.

As this is still a country which allows freedom of opinion and speech despite Blairs megalomania, I will stick to my opinions despite GranT's objections.

The sooner we are rid of Tony Blair, the happier I will be. There is nothing new in Britain and the U.S, being close allies, this is not something that New Labour under the leadership of Bush's Poodle have discovered.

Well said!!! Blair is like Sven goran erikson, all this talk about all the things they have done, but they have done NOTHING!!! I think he is more loved in america then at home. Maybe the yanks will vote him in as governor of some state, then his lap dog attitude will be their problem. The Iron Maiden has another vote from me!

Cheers

Thanks Tony, you ****!

[DeltaWhisky58]

For our American readers, I feel that some form of explanation is in order.

I have always been amazed by the amount of esteem and respect offered by the average American to their President, no matter how good or bad he is. It has to be understood that our Prime Minister, despite being the leader of our elected government - elected by good old-fashioned "First past the post" elections - is Not our head of state, this role being reserved for our Sovereign HM Queen Elizabeth II.

The Prime Minister of Great Britain (not England) is often an unpopular figure (e.g. current incumbent), whereas the Sovereign is generally well liked and respected (though not universally so). Much of the Queen's respect comes with the tradition of the office, but she has also earned a great deal of the same during her 50 years on the throne. I don't think I need to explain why Tony Blair commands little respect from the average Brit.

We have had unpopular Sovereigns, but the current one has to be one of the most popular. We have also had popular Prime Ministers (e.g. Churchill) whilst the present one is probably one of the most unpopular of the post-war years. The good thing is we can get rid of Prime Ministers - roll on May 2005 or thereabouts!

he's also the prime minister for the UK ;)

I don't think he's the most unpopular PM in the last 50 years. And I think the majority of the country would prefer him to Howard or Kennedy in the next election. (I reckon it will be 2006, they'll opt for the extra year to put more time between the election and the war in iraq.

I could have sworn we were talking about leadership, not unemployment.

Never mind, as this is not a political forum I think we should leave Blair alone, he can't help being an idiot.

I wouln't disagree with that, but he has to rate pretty close to the bottom. I would also agree that neither Kennedy or Howard are men for the job, but we are in much need of a change. We also have the current situation - similar to the Clinton with Hilary set-up - that our PM also has a wife who likes to think she runs the country, and is clearly privy to matters well beyond her concern.

Well in my short 23 years on this planet i would say the worst PM i have lived through is Mr. Major, that guy was a true Knob end. At first i thought blair would be gould for GB. You know, a younger PM more in tune with the average man...NOPE!!!! He's a complete idiot, cant wait to see who's next.

[cut]

What don't you like about him?

[DeltaWhisky58]

Everything!

[cut]

The way he emulates thatcher?

[Threelions]

If you ask me he tried to be thatcher-esk, but there was one big problem. He is like blair, a lap dog. Thatcher had balls (figurativly, and probably realisticly), but major had none. Major is the reason people voted for labour. It wasnt that labour was going to be GB's saving grace, its just that no one wanted major, or another major style person. if you ask me its all about voting for great political parties like, "the silly hat party", and the "pink rhinocerous party"! Ahh the glory of the british political system!! I think it costs something like 500 pounds a few signatures, and you to can run!!

Cheers,

If you're going to complain about the quality of our politicians cast an eye on George W Bush. Blair had 14 years before he became PM, most British PMs have spent a lot longer, but then in politcal terms Blair is a prodigy. We have some of the most experienced democratic leaders in the world.

Oh, i complain about all leaders!!LOL!! They are damned if they do and damned if they dont in my eyes!! I have spent the last 5 years in canada, and there are some fantastic (sarcasm) politicians here. Jean cretien, the ex PM, was a true keeper!! I was always unsure if he was a complete idiot, or if it was just the language barrier which made him appear that way. During the G-8 summit in kananaskis a reporter asked cretien if he was worried about security. his response was " no. To the west is very high mountains, to the east an indian village, and the whole area is surrounded by thousands of bears." LOL!!

It's sad that you have to vote for Blair because of lack of better alternatives, but at the same time, that's the same reason why Americans are going to vote for Kerry in November.

[DeltaWhisky58]

I'd be willing to bet that if you lined up the serving/ex-military and the wannabes, we'd have a distinct divinding line between pro/anti Blair.............correct Shadow Neo/Cut?

I think you are exactly right with that theory. I served here in canada in the infantry a while back, and i am currently going through the process of re-enrollment. The militray mind set makes one vote more conservative as they tend to support the military much more then liberals. Its a mutually beneficial support system between military and conservatives.

Staying in Scotland gives you plenty of voting alternatives its not so clear cut up here the Conservatives rank third in the Scottish Parliament and they have only one Westminster MP from Scotland. I have never seen my choices limited to just the Conservatives and Labour.

Hopefully not me, Kerry wants to turn the Americans into sheeple and I've already been down that road and it's pretty bleak!

Perhaps that would be true, I have not yet served, and although I plan to, i'm sure we would have a distinctly different view.

You are assuming though, that I was basing my vote for Blair on purely Military terms, although the line between each partys' stance is somewhat blurred to me as they will both be cutting back on the Armed Forces in one way or another. One of the main things that has made the current Government appealing to me has been the way they have been running the Economy, and until they start faltering in this respect they have my support.

The point I was making was that were you serving or ex-military, your views would probably be different. Clearly as thing stand you have never voted before because of your age. I'm not trying to teach you politics, thank goodness we live in a free country and make up our own minds be it for good or bad, but if you fulfill your wishes and enter military service, I would not be surprised to see your political alignment change.

Surely you have to acknowledge that other than sending them to foreign places in aid of his transatlantic master, Tony has never been any friend of the British Armed Forces. At least the US government under Bush allows decent - if not ideal - defence procurement, whilst we are pared to the bone and still expected to project power world-wide. As things stand, we are probably incapable of fielding a viable force anywhere for at least another five years - although defence spending has been cut by successive Labour and Tory administrations, the damage done since 1997 is inexcuseable - Thanks Tony, yet another way you've screwed us!
