Numerous depictions of seppuko [incorrectly and insultingly called hara-kiri] show folks who look just like her, either spilling their guts or helping others to do it.

What a pity to think that it is unlikely that she will ever give us the chance to see that happen in her case.

I thought that seppuko was for the warrior class who having committed a faux pas then went and did the honourable thing.
Mrs Blair does not fit the description of a warrior in any way what so ever. As for doing the honourable thing, can she even spell honour?

As an aside, referring to her as a wide mouth frog is an insult to frogs in general, I have visions of Kermit calling his lawyer for megaton damages.

Appreciated!

Not one single word of defence for him across whole thread? Who did vote for him?

A lot of the laws he passed in his first term - some of them reasonably successful - he has since denounced. Even he hates his own legacy.

I still think you'd walk away thinking they were a pair of bellends

Going back some years, Blair frequented my local, the Dun Cow in Sedgefield. (Or I frequented his local) and spoke to him on the basis that he was just another bloke in the pub on many occasions and found him to be very pleasant and sociable. Whilst politically I loathe what he did, I cant recall anything to suggest he was a bellend. Cherie is undoubtedly ugly, but has been known to hoik him out of the pub on at least one occasion. Blair at least had the common touch to allow the known locals to be in the pub when a VIP visited.

Just to name drop, Chirac was one of the nicest people who got into the Dun Cow. I cannot recall what the brand of real ale which was on song when Chirac visited, but I recommended it and he had a half.

I'm glad he's Catholic: those cheeky chaps are big on hell and what it's like, so the shock when he suddenly turns up there instead of being seated at the right hand of the Father will be magnificent. I think that should go in the dictionary as the definition of schadenfreude.

cant we stick them on a special grace and favour island somewhere along with brown, sarkozy bush etc.. does that scottish one still have anthrax on it?

I have to admit we voted for him just to get the tories out as they were stale and corrupt.

they did not however fcuk the country over so much and did leave it solvent so I reckon I wasted that vote.

That's the point. Most con men are very pleasant & sociable, it's why they are able to take people in.

He was all style over substance, known for getting up at the despatch box & just making stuff up. Note how his goverment on more than one occasion tried to have Hansard altered to remove things that were off message, even though it is supposed to be a verbatim record of proceedings.

New Labour were to politics what the hysteria over The Princess Of All Our Hearts's death was to the British stiff upper-lip, Heat magazine was to quality journalism and Big Brother was to quality broadcasting. All these things marked an infantilism and breaking down of the values & standards of British society, the loss of which we are now suffering from.
