And again he pulls up influential Labour figures for letting Brown carry on with the dismantling of the country without even attempting to stop him, because they desperately wanted to cling on to power. I hope he is on Question Time and other such programmes more often in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-66986598328947829112010-08-25T17:35:15.235+01:002010-08-25T17:35:15.235+01:00So according to the entirely unbonkers and entirel...So according to the entirely unbonkers and entirely not evil Mr Parris, Tony Blair is not quite his hero.

Agree with his comments about the brutish Alistair Campbell. But it's more than just shocking to read how mad, damaging and unintelligent Brown is and was. Ruined pensions, massive debt and high unemployment for generations.
