Goodbye Tony
After last week's near civil war in the Labour party, the prime minister announced he would indeed resign within the year. This will be taken as good news by conservatrives, but as it seems in more ways than one.
While watching the highlights of his speech to his last TUC conference, it was easy to see just how much of an asset Blair has been to the socialist movement. The moonbat nutcases within his own party that are forcing him out have somehow been deluded by 10 years of power into thinking that they would have had but a single day without him. The spin, re-wording and populist-emphasis Blair and New Labour brought to the table made them acceptable for government as they disguised their true beliefs. If heir apparent Gordon Brown betrays not just Blair but Blairism, he will potentially loose his party the next election
The Labour party owes Tony Blair everything, and now they stab him in the back. I have to say, simply as a human being, "what an awful shame". But then, perhaps... that's politics
