Thread Name: BS: Blairs first defeat
Subject: RE: BS: Blairs first defeat
Iraq finished Blair....His ego obliged him to support Bush against public opinion and the Party.

When his majority was so drastically reduced, the writing was on the wall. If he had not announced that he would be stepping down before the next election, the Party would have had to sack him!

Everyone says that the recent vote was the turning point for Blair, but I remember the ladies of the WI slow handclapping him on TV after he had been evasive to their questioning. The change started that night, and the momentum increased with every disaster.
On elction night Blair and his wife had to stand and listen to a devastating attack on his character and judgement by the father of a young soldier killed in Iraq.
Blair visibily aged five years before our eyes.

Every victory for George Galloway was another nail in Blairs coffin...and didn't George love it.

Blair clings on ,wounded, psychologically flawed,but still searching for a legacy.

Somebody should tell him that he carries a legacy which will never be forgotten. The man who killed the aspirations of a nation; and took them to war on a "pack of lies"...Ake
