...which according to the article, the UK government would be supportive of (aw bless, of course they would...)...
Truly not a nice prospect, but personally I can't see it happening - thankfully, I think he has too many enemies and critics in Europe.

Let's hope you're right. Blair is nothing but a liar, a warmonger and has done his fair share of ruining the country. He in no way deserves any accolade like this. The sooner he disappears off the political map, the better.
What the fuck is it with these fucking cocktrumpets? Who the fuck do they think they fucking are? This EU fucking presidency bollocks all depends on whether people are gonna vote through the fucking bag of shit that is the Lisbon Treaty - it's not been elected into law yet, you wankstains. And now we've got Lady Kinnock of Windbag - who is one half of the most overpaid couple of cunts ever to exist, surely - telling us that the UK government wants that lying, warmongering cunt Blair in charge of the EUSSR?
I wonder what the one-eyed cunt - he who is tormented by Tony Blair, according to that jug-eared twat Charles Clarke - thinks of all this? Bang against the wall go another few mobile phones, smash against the floor goes another laser printer.
:yes: :thumb:
As for Blair, I think he's a competent politician and well experienced in international relations so coul fit the bill well. I know he's not popular and so it's probably not popularr to think that of him. But then I've never met a universally popular politician, either, so popularity doesn't seem to count for much.
I don't think the system particularly needs changing from the current system though, whats wrong with a rotating presidency?
I thought Scottish people were British too.
I think its fair to attack Brown on his policies etc but is it fair to attack him 'cos he has one eye? His disability is immaterial ... like his skin colour or sexuality would be.
don't say that, you'll ruin the rhetoric
After what Brown's policies have done to my life I'll attack him any way I want. Nothing's off-limits for the man who played a huge part in ruining this country. I wouldn't swing for him but with Brown, political correctness goes out the window - I'd treat him with the same contempt he's treated our economy.
Anyway back to the topic, apparently a lot of Europe still sees him as Bush's apdog and the man who help start an illegal war. That alone should be enough to stop him becoming president.
Erm .. I wasn't telling you not to. But his blindness has nothing to do with the way he has run the country. Or should we be generally wary of anyone who is partially blind?
dont forgot the fuckign returds that borrowed more money then they could aford and then left everyone else paying for there fuckups
for fuck sake, they are adults, they have to be responsiblefor there own actions, :banghead:
Or does personal responsibility not count?
:yes:
To a point yes but if the rules weren't bent, thus enabling them to apply, they wouldn't have ended up in that situation.
That's called The Government, territt.
PPI wasn't any ideological thing, it was a way of keeping expenditure off the balance sheet by paying for it later. Pretty much exactly how a Mastercard works, in fact. And when it all goes wrong, like it did with Metronet, it's the taxpayer who gets to foot the bill.
But in terms of pesonal responsibility in the private banking sector, responsibility doesn't just lie with the borrower.
As you all know, I'm a debt and benefits adviser. One of my clients was on income support due to disability and was never going to work again. A nameless bank- who have since been bailed out by the Government- bullied him into borrowing nearly £20,000. The staff gave the loan because they were on commission. Sales paid the bills, so they sold to whoever they could. That's irresponsible lending of the highest magnitude. Yes, he shouldn't have borrowed it, but he wasn't in a position to understand that the bank were loaning for commission- he though, like many do, that a bank wouldn't be stupid enough to loan the money if he couldn't afford it. At the end of the day, the bank should be more careful with their savers' and investors' money.
(and it wasn't the 'devil eyes' ad, really)
You sound like Ian Paisley...
It makes the blood run cold, although the thought of Brown being forced to meet him in Downing Street and call him "President Blair" through gritted teeth is truly hilarious. A brilliant dissection of this from William Hague is located here.
