Thanks vanessa for your comment.

No relationship, believe me. He doesn’t even communicate with me, so I am not ‘used and abused’ in any way. I could give up tomorrow and I’m sure he wouldn’t even notice!

The reason I do not “come out” as it were has nothing to do with my being some close associate/friend/distant relative or whatever. It is just that I had a previous political life in another British party and I think some might grab onto that to try to make trouble. I’m not in the business of making trouble for ANY party. Also, my other half is deeply involved with another party. I wouldn’t want to cause any embarrassment.

But we are all free in this (western) world to think and speak as we feel, as I understand it!

I feel that the press in this country and even the Labour party dealt badly with Mr Blair, who I consider to have been a great prime minister. Thus I try to put things as I see it to try to balance this press bias.

Thank you for the kind comments, by the way. I have always been interested in politics, and, really, today it isn’t hard to keep an eye or ear on what is happening in the political world, even if no longer involved at a personal level. And I suppose I enjoy writing. So I’m combining some of my interests here.

Perhaps I should be involved politically again; it’s just that no-one or no party particularly inspires me right now. None of the mainstream parties is facing up to what I judge to be an increasing threat, if we are not careful: the failure to work out a coherent strategy, nationally and internationally to deal with “religious” extremism.

But yes, I do agree with your point. My continuing interest seems at times, even to me, a touch OTT.

Things are about to change – I think!

What is the relationship of this writer to ACL Blair, your ‘Tony Blair?’ Why so defensive. Is this relationship with Tony a matter of life and death. Why so well-versed, not even just to a fanatic’s level of involvement. So well-informed about Tony Blair, and so breezy about it. Congratulations, nevertheless! For the analysis of how these men who meet in the House of Commons or 10 Downing Street, possibly?, think.

Thanks for this, Margaret. Will take a look at the YouTube site.

Yes, I’ve read the speech in Tokyo.

Theoretically, from the Lords, yes, he could become leader. But he doesn’t want to become a Lord, as I understand it.

Zimbabwe? He’s working on SOME parts of Africa, and Mugabe hates him, of course as he epitomises the old colonial power. Of course Thatcher was once chums with Mugabe and the Tories let him away with murder for years. It just amazes me that Mugabe is still inhaling!

As you say, Blair’s not superman! But we DO seem to have a dearth of top quality politicians in this world today, don’t you think?
