Blair is the strongest leader that the country has had since Thatcher. By "Strong" I am referring to their complete conviction that what they are doing is the right thing and a complete inwillingness to be flakey and just do what they think will make them popular. Their policies are different and I think that Blair's policies are al round far more reasonable than Thatchers.

So I have respect for Blair because one of the worst things about politics is that most politicians will completely change their minds on something o remain electable, as in they will go against their own feelings on the maters at hand so that they don't alienate the popular vote. Blair hasn't done that, he has the courage of his convictions. And he is certainly the best prime minister that we have had in my lifetime.

So tell me, why do you hate him? Don't be fooled by the negative publicity about Blair. The media at large criticise any leader after the first term in office.

I've heard the British Government is doing evil things, like charging admission for a building build with tax money and stuff. I don't live in Europe and don't really have British contacts, so I wouldn't know much.

In fact, that's why I'm asking.

I hardly think that charging money to go into public buildings is exactly evil. When you look at the kinds of things that governments have done since governments were first invented, I really think that charging for buildings built with public money is almost reasonable.

Blair is dangerous. Why? Because he wants to make his mark in history, and will go to any lengths to do it. That is why he pushed on the Iraq war, as he wanted to be remembered as a great war leader. He is dellusioned, and should be taken out of office.

Blair is evil because he follows Bush around and does whatever he says. Bush took us to war with Iraq and fucked up the people liveng ther's lives even more than they were when Hussein was in charge. All this war and terrist shit shouldbe destroyed with a good old pie in the face.
oh my god this is shit

I tell you what's really evil? Believing the press.

It's newspaper selling propaganda. Blair doesn't want to be a war leader, he's probably never been sincere about anything before or since war in Iraq but this is the one thing he really believes in.

And Joebob please tell me in what way life in Iraq is worse now than under Saddam Hussein.
