You're Bloody Right Tony

[tedebear]

When you have no intellectual platform to appeal - wrap yourself in the flag.

I kind of understand I think...

Everyone knows that Canada is the greatest nation on Earth.

Apart from the fact that it is the dullest place on Earth.

Abridged version:

I am going.

When I was here I had some clever people who told me what to do.

I did them.

Some things worked, some didn't, when things didn't work one of the clever people got the sack, when they did work, I smiled a lot.

When I decided to do something against the advice of the clever people who told me what to do, It went completely tits up.

I am proud to say that I have stopped one group of people wanting to kill you, and at the same time created a lot of other people who want to kill you. Ying & Yang

Britain is marginally better off than it was when I came in.



Goodbye.

I am

Spot on

It was a cheap pay-off line. He must have felt there was nothing in his premiership that he could finish on to try to make everyone feel good - so he appealed to their patriotism.

yep

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I kind of understand I think...

In recent times Slobodan Milosevic is a classic example.

Ahh to use patriotism as a defence?

 

[London Calling]

Well its not for you - just so as you know.

I think everyone migrates towards my magnetic charms................

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Ahh to use patriotism as a defence?

Milosecvic was a party man - who appealed to Serb patriotism as a means of attaining power in the break up of Yugoslavia. And from that came the ethnic cleansing of Bosnia and Kosovo. US Presidents use patriotism as a matter of course.

Blair is no Milosevic - but to use that finish to his valedictory speech was odd.

Sincerity never was his strong point either, Blair that is.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

The words of his old headmaster stuck "the thing you have to realise about Tony is - he is a very good actor".



Sincere in a Hughie Green kind of way.

Seems to me the only people who think the grass is greener have made enough money here to go somewhere else and take advantage of the cheaper way of life elsewhere (there's a reason for that of course).

Personally as I have said elsewhere today when you have been to a few other places you get to really appreciate the benefits (no pun intended) of living in this country, even if being British isn't always one of them !

Tony,

 

[Eastleigh Seagull]

personally I think his speech today was very well put together. The good point she highlighted are spot on. Like Thatcher he held on a tad too long but fundamentally they presided over some very good decisions. The basics of how we should judge leaders - economic growth, unemplyment etc show that he has been very successful.

In conclusion, he said: "Actually I've been lucky and very blessed. And this country is a blessed nation.

"The British are special - the world knows it, in our innermost thoughts we know it. This is the greatest nation on earth."

Im Honoured that you agree with me dave

 

[hitony]

Tony,

Hi Jim

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

and why so many people are trying to get in

they haven't lived here.

and the reason the majority of people stay?

they can't get out.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Well his right about one thing he has been Lucky that britain as a nation are bloody gullible to put him in office in the first place and put he back in again i suppose we must be stupid aswell.


Never mind he will soon bo gone and some other Labour goon will be destroying this nation.

Blair just F*ck off to the states and have your love ins with bush and don't come back.

 

[London Calling]

you can't beat a love in with bush................

 

[Buzzer]

In conclusion, he said: "Actually I've been lucky and very blessed. And this country is a blessed nation.

"The British are special - the world knows it, in our innermost thoughts we know it. This is the greatest nation on earth."

damn right.

Post of the day.

Now hang on a minute ...

Nice country in parts, mostly the west. Pretty boring generally. Far too many mosquitos and other unpleasant flying bugs. Winter climate in all but the west is awful.

However I will grant you that Vancouver is the most beautiful city in the world ... just a pity that it's been overrun by orientals.
