Solomon1   10 #1 Posted February 5, 2007 Evenin all  (NB: before i continue, would just like to say...this is not a thread about the pros/cons of our war with iraq).  Wish people would stop hounding tony! he said he's going to leave before september.....so let him get on with his job until then. Gordonbennett!  is anyone else sick to death of this?  Think he's a good man who did what he thought was right. That is what we elected him to do.  He holds a position of power, with no end of enemies waiting in the wings and ready to jump on him at the drop of a hat. and it makes me .  Has there been any leader in history where everyone has remained adoring till the end? don't think so. why is this? is it a reflection of the pessimistic nature of us brits?  wish people would leave him to get on with it.  ...all this constant pick-pick-picking makes me  serves no purpose at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

maggi   10 #4 Posted February 5, 2007 Has there been any leader in history where everyone has remained adoring till the end?  Maybe this is one for the quotes thread, but as Enoch Powell said "all political careers end in failure".

upinwath   10 #12 Posted February 6, 2007 but he's bent and dealing with bent people.  He started bent with his promise to stop sky TV getting all the best sport and after a trip to OZ to meet mr m. that promise went out of the window. Odd that M's newspapers dicided to support tony at the same time.  he stayed bent helping mandleson return to government after the mortgate form job and helped him get a plum job in europe after he did it again with bent passports for more bent mates.  He lied to get us into a war and there is a fair chance he's got some backhand deal with bent bush and now he's being interviewed by the cops about flogging honours for more bent cash.  he stops being a bent git and i'll stop having a pop at the crook Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
