Lets look back at how he brought prosperity to Britain and re engaged with the unions. Lets start with the steel industry. He helped an Indian billionaire buy a steel works in Romania after the business man donated £125k to the labour party. Oh sorry bad example.
The uk car industry. Labour gave 16 million pounds to the Phoenix Consortium to help relaunch the British car industry. It was a captialist conspiracy that meant they went bust and certainly not a waste of taxpayers money.
Staying with the car industry, he did provide multi million pounds in sweetners so that the Japanese car giants Nissan could provide jobs to a few hundred Mackems. OK they were forced to have just one single union representing them but it did mean the factorywas productive and that the subsequent profits could go straight back to Japan.
He of course did a lot for the UK arms industry. Why invite the Saudis over to watch a mock demonstration when they can see the real thing in the own back yard.
Human Rights. Who can forget that it was the Labour Party that brought this to the forefront and put it into English Law. Fortunately Tonys wife was a leading Human Rights Lawyer so could provide expert help on this matter.
I could go on but I am sure many other posters would like to contribute and tell us of their fond meories of the man and all his good work and how he undid all the terrible evils of Thatchers regime.
Why are people even responding to this massive fail of a thread?
The OP has blundered horrendously in the opening line by omitting seven years of Major with all the sleaze that entailed not to mention Black Wednesday.
The 7 years is totally unrelated to Thatcher and Blair. Blair was the first Labour leader who had the chance to redress the wrongs inflicted (allegedly) by the Thatcher government. We have had posters in another topic saying how she destryed the unions. Blair/Labour helped Nissan operate a factory in the north east. One of the main conditions was that the workers were only allowed 1 trade union to represent them. Perhaps that was to stop the wildcat strikes commonly seen in the car industry in the 70's and 80'swhere there were 4 or 5 unions in one factory and when one lot came out no one crossed the picket line and so no work was done. Whilst it might be a sensible policy from a Conservative view point it is not something Labour should be supporting surely ?
The sleaze of John Majors government was bad but Blair and his cronies beat him hands down. Labour campaigned saying they would remove tobacco advertising from sport. They then granted Formula one an exemption when they came to power in May 1997. Unfortunately the million pounds they received from Bernie Ecclestone in January of the same year showed him and his partiy for what they really were, up for sale.
If you're going to disregard seven years of parliament just so you can clumsily forge a false Thatcher/Blair timeline then I'll take my debate elsewhere good sir.

sniff said:twinkletoes said:Blue Mist said:I think his term in office was summed up when Archbishop Desmond Tutu stated Blair should be indicted as a war criminal. No other british politician has ever been cited in such a way. I do not know why he was voted in again and again but it is to our utter shame that he was. To be ranked alongside Radovan Karadzic is not something we should ever forget.
He kept getting voted in because we had ten years of uninterrupted growth.
It's just that it was all based on credit and was the biggest house of cards ever created.
The man should be in prison at the end of the day.
Say you dont like the man, but the credit crunch wasnt a political or British cock up...
What ever you can say about him and the Labour party... at least they can claim to be an elected leader!!!
the pair of idiots in charge now are their based on more blatent lie's and spin than Blair could ever be accused of...
He decided to sell his soul to the City of London and now we are all paying for it.
Meanwhile he gets job as a consultant with JP Morgan.
Cameron wants to be Blair.

Thats how its been since London was made capital of the country, thats just how it is..
Once you get the PM job you wont be working in Tesco's once its over, someone somewhere will offer you a job because you hold influence in circles that no one else can.. Thats nothing to do with selling your soul to the capital.
Of course Cameron wants to be Blair, he was afterall the most popular Leader in modern times. Cameron just wants to be actually elect leader, rather than just claiming the position as his own.. It should speak volumes that Blair is sucha figure of hate yet not one of the people who tried to replace him could get a majority ?

Tony Blair and New Labour were the biggest betrayal of the UK electorate in over a century. All the fresh new ideas with intelligent young politicians promised so much but delivered so little.
Blair's legacy should be the Good Friday Agreement but instead he will be remembered for be a war mongering Bush arse kisser who lied to Parliament about WMD. Then there's the David Kelly affair and so much more but the bottom line is he's a pathological liar who even lied about his dad taking him to St James's Park. He said he watched Jackie Milburn while seated in the Gallowgate End. Milburn fnished at Newcastle in 1957 (when Blair was 4) while seats weren't put into the Gallowgate End until after he died.

The cookie monster said:Blue Mist said:i kne albert davy said:I liked him
and you my Sir are a wind up merchant (I hope)
Can i ask you why he was voted in again & again?
Here's four reasons for starters:
a) Because he was slick as a well-lubed PR exec's dick. It took a lot of people a long time to rumble the lounge lizard.
b) He had the good fortune to follow the scandal-probe John Major government. After that shambles even a newly-laid turd would look and smell delectable.
c) The opposition was totally feeble for the next decade or more. The Tories were unable to muster a leader who could hold New Labour to account or stand any chance of winning a general election. Blair, Straw, Brown and co were virtually given a free hand.
d) "The economy stupid". Pretty well anything goes when people are feeling prosperous. The global economy was fuelled by China's phenomenal growth among other things. We fed on cheap imports and unlimited credit. The government feasted on bloated taxes which they duly spunked on pet projects and sinecure jobs.
Tony B Liar...fooling the electorate (and public enquiries) since 1997.

My fine felllow, I was not disregarding 7 years of Edwinas Lover running the country, I was merely taking a lead from another post where various posters were attacking Thatcher. I was merely saying that with the arrival of Blair and his cronies it was the first opportunity for Labour to correct all the alleged wrongs re the unions, industry, (free school milk !) of the Thatcher years. Not only did he fail to correct any of the anti union legislation he managed to be more corrupt that Majors lot and that is pretty hard to do.
