When Tony married Cherie Blair do you think his decision making process is fundamentally flawed?

Huh?  Your question doesn't make any sense. I'm sure the PM and his wife are happy, and is it really anybody elses business?

Isn't the fact that he is apparently married enough of a reason?

I agree with you completly, he has totally ruined our country. It is ridiculous how much of our lives are now controlled by Europe, which is all thanks to Mr Blair. And about America, well Blair is more Bush than Bush is. He has betrayed the cuntry i think.

Recent releases under the 70-year rule indicate that intelligence services put both the Church and the prime minister under pressure to force Edward to a decision about Wallace Simpson, because of his and her unsavoury  connections with Nazi Germany.  They took a hard line because they wanted him to abdicate or break his connection with Simpson, not because they felt so strongly about divorce.  Charles's batty views on architecture and organic farming aren't likely to produce such vehement opposition, and the both the CofE and the English legal system has loosened up a lot on divorce in the last 70 years.  It's now much easier to get a legal divorce, and while the church still officially disapproves, most vicars will at least bless if not re-marry divorced people.

sounds like he cant make up his mind what he wants. sometimes you have to bury the hatchet and ask the hard questions, and if he hides it will not be the first time

What makes you think this? What is the evidence of his being poor at organisation? Why would you you want him to run a piss up in a country? It might be entertaining for a while, but it wouldn't sustain the business of State. \n\nIf you ask considered questions you'll get considered responses. For some sort of answer to your present question try this:\n\nIs the country worse off than it was in 1997? If so how? \n\nIs Blair an improvement on John Major? If not, why not?\n\nHow is the economy doing under Labour relative to a similar number of years of economic management under the Tories? Better or worse? I think you already know the answer.\n\nIs employment up or down since the last Tory Government? \n\nIs crime up or down since the last Tory Government?\n\nAre NHS waiting lists longer under Labour's management?\n\nBlair is slippery and slick. He's a survivor and the consummate politician. But underneath all that there is a genuine conviction politician, concerned about the welfare and wellbeing of the people of UK and around the World. \n\nBlair got it seriously wrong over Iraq and this sadly will be his legacy. The good stuff will be forgotten under the mess of the unjust and improper British invasion of a sovereighn country on the most dubious of grounds. That is the issue about Blair.

WOW! IT'S ALL ABOUT INDIVIDUAL CHOICES. BUT HE SHOULD HAVE DISCUSED THIS ISLAM ISSUE WITH HIS PARTNER IN LIFE, HIS WIFE.  HIS DECISION  MIGHT  EFFECT HER  EMOTIONALY.I DON'T WHANT TO INPOSE MY IDEA ON HOW PERSONALY I FEEL ABOUT THIS,IT WOULD BE A SELF CENTERD OPINION OF MINE, AND THATS WRONG.EVERYBODY HAVE THERE OWN CHOICES TO CHOSE WHAT THEY LIKE.

Well, neither of them may be great but I still consider Thatcher worse than Blair, despite everything. Remember that she also took the UK to war (okay, Argentina may have instigated it but she certainly didn't resort to diplomacy).\n\nThe Blair 'revolution' was meant to be a very exciting thing - the end of years of some of the UK's most dismal politics, a return to social democracy (or democratic socialism, or whatever). A government that, while electable, still cared about the average person and not just big business.\n\nOkay, Blair's government is not that. It's nowhere near that. It's a firmly centrist government now that actually in some ways is dismantling the social programmes that his party's reputation rests on. So you could say Blair was more of a disappointment than Thatcher, as with Thatcher you knew what to expect. But I shudder to think how far the UK would have gone down the road to strict American-style 'free market' / 'trickle-down' economics if Thatcherites had stayed in power.\n\nPut it this way: last time round, Brits went into the election griping and whining about Blair and his government, and then... did what? Re-elected them. With a majority. Reduced, everybody points out, but still a majority. Why? Nobody else to vote for.

They were never married.  Bliar has looked more like George's prison b**ch.  It reminds me of a line in The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy: "The president's job is not to have power but to distract attention away from the power."  Many a true word spoken in jest.  The moneylenders are in power.  Lenin said war is terrible but it's terribly profitable.  Check it out - bankers have financed both sides of most, if not all, of the armed conflicts of the last 300+ years.  I'm not joking.  No wonder there's so much fighting going on; remember: weapons cost money.  Did you know that most central banks, such as The Bank of England and The Federal Reserve, are private, for-profit, banks?!  Wtf?!  We were sold out long ago by politicians who claimed to be acting in our best interests.  Tony & George are just the latest in a long line of actors on the world stage - we are being played like suckers.  My girlfriend thinks politics should be like jury service and that the only perk should be doing your bit for society, not stuffing your pockets at society's expense.  Who knows?  It's hard to imagine any other system being able to f**k things up the as badly as the "professional" politicians have.

No, she still holds the top position in that regard. \nBut Tony Blair is catching up fast, and if he does not resign soon, he could well take Maggie's place. Because, whatever Thatcher did (and you know yourself how terrible she was), she never did start an illegal war or participated in the illegal occupation of two sovereign foreign countries.\n\nThe best way to deal with Thatcher is to remember her and her party (because it was not just her, but also all her lackeys who did the harm and made huge profits) very clearly and therefore make sure that the Tories will NEVER EVER again be in charge of British politics, no matter who leads the Conservative Party.

We don't think blair is good.  We think he is a spineless little capitalistic, scared puppy dog who is afraid to stand up to the american bully for fear of economic disfavor.  We think every PM of the EU are ignorant fools for not listening to their citizens and their hearts.  Most of the western world wants the US out of Iraq, never wanted the US in Iraq, and yet the A-holes in washington still went.  And yes, people are dieing because of it.  We don't think blair is good.  We don't think bush is good.  We don't think the process of government is democratic, and that we are too scared to do anything about it cause we are lost in this paranoia of nationalism.  And if Blair lets the bush administration go into Iran, he is as culpable as we are for sending the global economy right in the loo.  As it is, he is just as guilty for the murders, massacres, deaths and suffering.  We are all guilty because we are letting this happen.

yes I do and I agree the English snob who is going to "get married" is much too much of an egotist for Trump to deal with. I think there will be conflicts unless some "tushee" is licked

Heck! I left the UK at the end of the 'Thatcher Years' and I thought that was bad, I recently visited the UK and I wanted to cry. The country I was once proud of, and what I wanted to show off to my children has become a laughing stock, and we have  Blair and his cronies to thank for that. England has lost everything under Labour.

I strongly disagree. Their foreign policy is disastrous. Look at Iraq continually sliding to all-out civil war. Look at the support Bush gave the repressive regime in Azerbaijan just because it is a supporter in the war on terror. Even though I agree with both Bush and Blair on social issues, I would not think twice of electing even the most liberal candidate to replace them.

I din't see the Question and Answer bit, but Bush and Blair's initial statements seemed pretty much of a piece to me, not least because they had obviously pre-agreed roughly what they would say. Actually, it is not unusual for Blair to sound quite rambling when he is not reading a prepared speech.\n\nTo give them credit, Bush and Blair admitted they had got some things wrong about Iraq, e.g. on Weapons of Mass Destruction. Politicans find it incredibly hard to admit they have made a mistake, so let's not embarass them further for poor delivery of their speech when they do own up to their mistakes.\n\nBlair had just flown to Bagdad and back as well as to the United States, so it would not be surprising if he were tired, but that is part of a politician's life.\n\nThe next United Kingdom election has to be held by May 2010, but the current Prime Minister can choose an earlier date. Since Thatcher won in 1979 Prime Ministers have always gone to the polls after four years, except John Major when he knew he was going to lose and held on until 1997.\n\nBlair has said that he is going to retire before the next election, which is causing him a lot of problems because of speculation as to exactly when he will resign. In the United Kingdom, if the Prime Minster resigns there does not have to be an election: the Government party elects a new leader who is then appointed Prime Minister by the Queen. Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of the Excequer (Finance Minster) is hot favourite to take over from Blair as Leader of the Labour Party, even though Blair and Brown are reputed not to like each other.\n\nThe Labour Government and the Conservative opposition are pretty close in the UK opinion polls at present (on the latest figures the Conservatives are four points ahead), so either party could well win the next election, neither party having an overall majority also being a very possible result.
