Good ridance and to think I voted him into power, 30 pound extra tax Ive had to pay on each flight to pay for his unneccesary war in Iraq that countless innocent lives have been lost.
Green tax me @rse.

Don't know much about politics in England.

Thatcher was perceived in Spain as a monster, she represented better than anybody the old rivalries with Albion

Major was seen as a conservative fresh air, much better than Thatcher

And Blair was seen as friendly, as the kind version of England, and with kind words towards Spain, which was a change, and the only hope so that a country that should be leading Europe as they're important part of the history of Europe keeps implying in the European Union.

But for what I know in this forum and another computers forum (people from London, Birmingham, Leeds, no scousers), in the local politics he's not that succesful it seems, despite that forum has a majority of labourist guys. (BTW never heard a bad word about Scousers from my mates there in 10 years).

As long as Liverpool keeps winning, I don't bloody care who you vote. :)

I dont know too much about politics, and never will anyone Prime minister keep 50 odd million people happy at once.

FWIW, I think Blair was decent enough, obviously I didnt agree with everything he did, but like I said he cant please a whole nation. People have different needs and conflicting ones.

I dont agree with the war on Iraq for instance, but looking back on it we've at least kept a relation in tact with the Yanks at least. I'd rather stand by their side than say............. most countires in Europe, we have good relationship with a world super power, still got our fingers in pies in and around Europe and the world.

I say again  I didnt agree with the war on Iraq, but would rather back the Yanks up than the French or someone.

One thing I'm glad Blair didnt pull off ! The conversion of the Euro :(  I think generally the English are loosing their identity. And going down that river would of well and truly put the final nail in the coffin.

If you think Blair is bad just wait till Gordon Browns had a go. Brown robbed our pensions and next he will rob the NHS.

How will Gordon Brown's 'pensions raid' affect you?
Posted at: 00:01
Gordon Brown was accused yesterday of overseeing the "failure" of the pensions system after ignoring officials' advice on a controversial tax reform.

Confidential memos - finally made public after a two-year battle - showed Treasury officials raised concerns that changing the way dividends were taxed would cost pension providers up to £4 billion a year and leave pensioners and low-paid workers worse off.

Mr Brown was also advised that the move would accelerate the closure of lucrative final salary pension schemes and cause share prices to dive by up to 20 per cent, according to the documents.

Shadow Chancellor George Osborne seized on the revelations, claiming: "It is time Gordon Brown faced the music for the damage he's done to British pensions."

Margeret Thatchers one big mistake was Poll Tax. Aside from that she is exactly what we need again. She took no sh!t -

Argentina invade The Falklands - Sent the troops in immediately.
her and the husband nearly gets get blown up by the IRA - Continues the conference the next day regardless

Blair is the epitome of a spineless leader who does everything to please everyone. Although I can't see David Cameron being a new Thatcher - it's a step in the right direction.

Blair did well in Northern Ireland and realised life isn't as simple as Thatcher thought it was. Now peace is there after compromises by all. It couldn't have come with Thatcher.

He did mess up big time on Iraq though.

I disagree with the people who posted earlier who think that Britain should back America in any war - regardless of whether it is right or wrong.

He's a boring old prune, I have no political opinion about him.

But voting Conservative in the 80's and early 90's usually meant you were pretty well off, as they looked after the rich more.  :nod

But that's what right winged or conservative parties do all over the world, always no?  :laugh:

I see what you mean, to be honest, it's more and more difficult to know where stands the old frontier between the left and right wings, and all the parties seem everywhere to occupy the centre and moderate their traditional speech. I think it's something that happens everywhere, not sure if in UK aswell.
