Leadership lost found drowned July 22, 2006

That Blair and Bush have lost the confidence of their people, is not right. Blair has been a most capable man – not so long ago he was seemingly supreme at sorting anything, particularly the troubles of this country. There hadn’t been a proper leader for a long time. Was ever there such an able Prime Minister? Yet Cameron, with a fraction of his talents, seems to be winning the hearts of some British people. Mainly in England. Or certain parts of England. Brown however remains the only politician in the game who has a deep conviction.

Blair and Bush stand despised. Blair is not despised physically as was Margaret Thatcher – I don’t think people want to stick pins in him – they just hate what he has done. I so wanted to see him do what ‘he’ did in “Love Actually” which was to stand up to America and not go with their brand of laddishness. Iraq, where there were no weapons of mass destruction, where there was just a bully waiting to be bullied, seems to have taken him from us. Mark the spot in the desert where he drowned.
