Blair is a disaster for our country

IT’S about time that Tony Blair packed his suitcase, guitar, wife and spin doctors and got the removal van to take him to fairytale land where he belongs.

This man is a failure. Everything he has done since he walked across the threshold of Number 10 has been a failure for the United Kingdom.

He has instigated military action every year he has been in power.

The prudent Gordon ‘pick pocket’ Brown, has systematically taken money through back door taxation at every available opportunity.

We have rises in fuel tax which he blames on everyone but himself.

The claptrap excuses the Labour spin machine has pedalled to get out of that hole are laughable.

The fuel tax is not ring fenced, so the lies about it going into schools and hospitals are deceptive.

If the government did ring fence that money, then perhaps every price rise would be justifiable and we would have the most fantastic health service and education system.

It is blatantly obvious that all these funds that Brown has been amassing have been siphoned off for whichever war Blair happens to be poking his nose in to next.

I wouldn’t presume to say that the Conservatives are any better, looking at their performance in Blackpool.

They have no new ideas as Labour have stolen the Conservative manifesto and called it their own.

The Liberal Party have just disappeared – we don’t seem to hear a peep out of them. They were the only party that stood on an anti war footing but they have not capitalised on their stance at all.

So we are left with no-one suitable to run the country without giving us more tax rises, lower pensions or futile, disastrous wars.

Blair holds everyone in contempt, especially anybody who has a hint of popularity.

Robin Cook was an honourable man, who would rather resign and leave office than dirty his hands with the blood of innocent Iraqis.

Mo Mowlem was rubbished as having lost the plot but she successfully handled the peace process in Northern Ireland.

Blair was jealous when she received a standing ovation during his speech.

Then you have Clare Short, who dared to speak out against Tony. She was also viewed as a loose cannon.

So listen up Tony. It’s time for you to go. Push off and don’t bother to say goodbye to anyone – we’re not interested.
