really :eek:
I actually met Blair when the Labour Party gave their call-centre workers a trip to London at Christmas. My friend took me as her guest and we went to a big fancy do in Downing Street (with free drink, important details!). He is incredibly charasmatic, and was as orange as a satsuma. Cherie is much more attractive in person, much.
The media so blew it out of proportion. Even parky tried putting words in his mouth. What he said makes perfect sense to me and I have no porblem with him. He communicates well, he is a smart guy and make funny comments along with funny stories.
He is a good guy.
It is a large part of his job to look like that.
Top tip when dealing with charasmatic people - ignore what they say and watch how they behave. He's great at making the right noises and then going and killing thousands of innocent people.
Which do you think is the important bit to focus on?

I’m sure Dr Shipman had a pleasant bedside manner and all...
Like I said, a lot of politicians (quite often the ones that are most successful) are good communicators and often good liars. Tony Blair could well be extremely skilled at lying, but to me in that interview he seemed quite sincere.
Just leaves him a mass murderer and thief.
Being sincere and believing your own misguided bullshit are not mutually exclusive. He seems like a decent guy, but obviously I find his decisions on Iraq ever-so-slightly dubious.
If being an inarticulate oaf was the kiss of death to a political career then why isn't Dubya working on a hog-hunting ranch in Texas?
He’s got that saved up for his retirement…:D
I think Bush’s shtick is as fake as Blair’s but he’s playing to a different audience – he’s trying to endear himself to his voters as a down-home, folksy, good ‘ol boy Texan type, when in reality he’s a Yale-educated member of a family so rich and privileged that his father bought him a major league baseball team.
"Yes. Of course, you struggle with your own conscience about it... and its one of these situations that, I suppose, very few people ever find themselves in. In the end, there is a judgement that, I think if you have faith about these things, you realise that judgement is made by other people... and if you believe in God, it's made by God as well. The only way you can take a decision like that is to do the right thing according to your conscience."
People always try and villify their leaders, spereating them out liek they are some big boogey men.
What they are is important people with a big job and big decisions to make.
Like it or not.
