YAWN!
He always waves his hand all over the place, tries to be charismatic and serious but you should see Rory Bremer's Political Satire. Good Impressions of Clinton and Blair! ------------------

I don't like Blair - just aside from my huge political disagreements with his policies, he does not come across as someone who is sincere. I don't think I'm alone in feeling this - he has a false smile, and, dare I say it, he is slimy. I heard it said that he was 'the most unpopular popular prime minister ever' ------------------ Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

I agree about Blair having a fake smile and all, and he does grate on my nerves, also those Bremner impressions are great, but ya never now, for all the sliminess, he may be able to prove himself under pressure.

I don't really like Tony Blair, but I have to say it was a very good speech. I didn't agree with all of it, and there was more rhetoric than substance - very idealistic, really, in many ways - not much about the nuts and bolts of implementation.
Nonetheless, a good speech, well delivered, and sounded sincere. Worth hearing/reading if you can. I'll try to find a link. ------------------ Dubbed Queen of the Illuminati by Diogenes. |

This gives the gist of it, and you should be able to download the audio if you want to (one of the boxes on the right of the page...)

hmmmmm, bremmer - naaaaah. very 'old hat'. spitting image should come back and play. mind you, the 'personalities' in the current government are pretty non-existant, so probably not much satire to get the old teeth into.
the arms trade fair was definately 'on' last week. unbelievable! i must admit i was pretty disgusted by that. anyway. pretty words butter no parsnips (or something?) so. blair will probably renage on his fine words in a day or two. sad really, they were very ideological. ------------------ offended mistress of the illuminati |
