    Quite possibly, but I suspect he still relishes the sweet taste of power. Ever since the advent of Miliband as Labour 'leader', I've been saying that Blair can't be written off as a Comeback Kid. At present, with Cameron hampered by the Coalition (not to mention Osborne) and struggling to impress, Labour feel that they could win the next election, despite having an android in charge. But if the polls start to swing against them by, say, the end of 2013, then stand by for Tone, a proven winner, to be approached by the NEC, whatever Unite and the other union mongs might say. If Red Ed does hang on and Labour crash again, then Blair, who'd still only be in his early 60s, would be seen by many of the Kameraden as the Great White Hope; with mad Cyclops out of the picture, another term (or two) as PM could seem an attractive proposition before the inevitable elevation to the Lords. Yes, we could well see La Belle Cherie once again adorning No 10 and ramming yet more PC subversion into Governmental policy via her right-on husband. What odds on Cool Britannia II?

    I've heard that 'cherry' b liar has given up wearing long red coats and standing on street corners ever since someone walked up and tried to stuff an envelope in her mouth.

    I suspect that the resulting split in the Labour Party would make the break up of Yugoslavia look like a County Show. Bring it on I say but sadly it ain't gonna happen - St Tone is too toxic.

    And referring to herself as "the First Lady", the jumped-up money-grabbing acquisitive cow. If we did have a concept of a "First Lady" over here it would be Her Majesty.

    The best contribution he could make to public life would be a full confession and 'guilty' plea at a trial for war crimes, viz. conspiracy to wage an illegal war on fabricated evidence.

    The best contribution he could make would be to do a Hitler - off Cherie and then himself.

    The only good thing I can say about my sister-in-law is that she's fat -
    so there'll be plenty of room for everyone who wants to dance on her grave.

    What, and take his knowledge of the other guilty men with him to the grave? No, a long and detailed interrogation followed by a few hundred years of imprisonment. If I were feeling particularly fiendish I might grant him weekly conjugal visits as well.

    But what about the children............
    Dry books of tactics are beneath the notice of a man of genius, and it is a known fact that every British officer is inspired with a perfect knowledge of his duty, the moment he gets his commission; and if it were not, it would be sufficiently acquired in conversaziones at the main-guard or the grand sutler's.

    Nice scare story on the day of the local elections with the not so subliminal message 'vote Tory or Tony will be back'.
