BeenaboutPreston, Lancashire, England UK5 Threads 117 PostsBlair has already run his power in office-Bush has but a few months to go-How would you describe their legacy?.
i liked blair in the beginning,but think he has done damage in this country that is longstanding and gordon brown has been blamed for some of it unfairly.i wouldnt like to put what i think of bush,on this site.
The pair of them are like thrush... A pair of irritating C***s..
how i agree,totally corrupt,yet preaching morals to others,makes you sick
if cherie blair had been running the country, we wouldnt be in the mess we are in today. blair and bush...the names ,laurel and hardy, spring to mind!
romy you are so funny and i believe all politicians are corrupt and only out for themselves, they have to be liars and cheats to survive
Their legacy is the continuing situation in Iraq; another war that can't be won. Hey, did anyone find those pesky weapons of mass destruction anyway? They were why we piled into the country in the first place. They must be really well-hidden.

Thats no recommendation when they have so many links to the mafia and the Catholic Church coUntries DEMONSTRATING WITH NO EXCEPTION the epitomy of extremes of wealth and poverty.
I will agree to differ with you - There are very few if any *politicians* left anywhere in the world NOW who are not corrupt, but it is so noticeable that the most high profile ones in the media hype machine (propaganda) are from Africa, Europe, Asia and South America.
Our lot only REALLY got started under Thatcher and the Tories on all sides.
I don't think M'Lud
and I are being fooled by any of them at our ages. He is 12 years younger so m'lud is a relative *sprog*

Ello Mike-Sprog here!-well,i cant dispute that-can i???.
A lot of the obvious has been mentioned here-but(and is only my opinion)there is another factor to be considered in the aspect of the Bush /Blair legacy-especially from Blair!.
New Labour was what Blair was promoting(along with his minions)-'A change from the Past!'-well,he certainly done that-but forgot to consult the people first?.He,along with his minions succeeded in turning this country into into a politically correct quagmire by introducing 'restrictions' into our traditional phraseology of what is right and wrong to say?-He has manipulated,what was,a perfectly good educational system into a-'You Cant Fail'process-even introducing a few new qualifications where you aren't even required to spell your name right?-Enforced the 'One law for them and another for us'scenario-But above all he has to be known for the Millions of taxpayers money he has spent on "SPIN"-yes!-Word Doctors and PR-not to just defend his actions-but his image as well!!!!.
Some 25-30yrs ago a politician(Roy Hattersley)was interviewed outside the House of Commons after a vote on restoring Capital Punishment-the question was put to him-"It is well known that the majority of your constituents are in favour of the return of Capital Punishment-Why did you NOT represent their views?"-the answer was-"THEY ARE WRONG!"-"They elected me as their MP therefore they shall abide by what I decide!".
The above issue is foregone-but the attitude seems somewhat familiar?-besides being inclusive to the Blair we have known-lets not forget all the BLATENT LIES this man has told in order to pursue "What he knows is best to do"-in conjunction with his counterpart in America-Together they have totally ignored world opinion and created a situation which had no 'Afterplan'and is going to last for generations to come?-this is,of course,justified by ongoing manufactured reasons for which i believe we are on number 4 at the moment!.
Bush takes a different stance being:-"God told me to do it!".
In my opinion i sincerely hope History(being their Judge)-records the pair of them for what they are?????.
