Without appeasement he was actually a good peacetime Prime Minister. In fact, rather a lot of politicians were 'peace minded' for quite obvious reasons. He also loyally and strongly supported Churchill at the start of his premiership in the face of strong covert opposition from all sides of the house. Returning to the present, Tony Blair's civil record isn't bad. OK the givernment have thrown millions at NHS and Education; for a disappointing return. But that's rather like LibDem West Berks - 8 million on Trinity School, for what result? In both cases, would suggest it isn't the 'numpty' at the top - more those apparently 'employed' to do the job!History mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910188492873665563.post-15259878182854103582007-05-18T00:07:00.000-07:002007-05-18T00:07:00.000-07:00Actually it wouldn't have been a tough ten yea...Actually it wouldn't have been a tough ten years if Blair and Bush hadn't been so stupid as to feed terrorism by attacking Iraq without proper international support.
