Reply to: Blair in Iraq to bury bad news at home

[BoredBloke]

I've just checked the news and he appears to be still there - I think you better re calibrate your time machine and get us another date.

[Buffoon]

My bet is a resignation on Thursday 21st Dec.

I'm waiting .........

Don't let us down Threaded. If he doesn't resign soon I won't believe anything you say again.

hmm... maybe his buddy Rupert Murdoch has helped by playing the story down in the papers...

Blair bad news has been front page on the Times most days!

If that is Murdoch playing it down, Blair must be the Ipswich murderer!

[NetwkSupport]

Isnt it about time people like Mr Blair stopped evading justice just because of who they are??

I mean if it was someone else there would be a big scandal in the papers and he would have to "resign" (forcefully).

..and dont get me started on "Dubya" Bush either...criminals the lot of them.

He might fall foul of 'Friendly fire'

Not chance of him being prosecuted, he seems to have escapes the cash for ermine situation. So does Brown which seems odd, surely if you were the chancellor you would be a little surprised at all these millions turning up in party funds.

Well the party treasurer never was told, so who knows how they fiddled it.

Seems like old bill might do them for perverting the course of justice - they've been hiding and trying to destroy emails and letters. And what Tony told them in his interview contradicted the evidence they have got.

Please god....

Didn't Cheris sister blurt out the date he was retiring when she was in the jungle? I am sure she did.

Overheard in Israel's cabinet office this morning: "Oh fuck it, already! Guess who's turned up."

Hummm, yeah, right!!!?!!

Sorry, that sort of logic is too feminine for me.

Perhaps what he means is that Friday is de facto Christmas Eve, and so everyone will be too busy in traffic jams, shops and pubs to notice his resignation, let alone descend on Downing Street weeping and calling for him to reconsider.

That has just reminded me of that internal Downing Street memo to Blair explaining why Labour did crap at the most recent local elections: "The people were angry with you Tony, because they love you and they think you are going to leave them." At PMQs Cameron brought much merriment from all sides of the house when he called it "The view from the bunker!"

This is an odd year as the year end is on a Sunday, which is why I discounted Friday.

Not unlikely considering he is no longer of any use to the Americans. Doubt he will stay the week as Prime Minister. My bet is a resignation on Thursday 21st Dec.

Just think, Gordon Brownstuff for PM as this years fsck you very much xmas present from UK gov to the populace.

I'm off to the bookies on that tip. Can you be a bit more precise on the time on Thursday? Even something like before 9am, 9-12, 12-3pm, 3pm-6pm, or after 6pm would be useful.

If he really wanted an F-U then about 11 am on Friday just before the London Stock Exchange closes until Wednesday would be a good one.

Hopefully he will be assasinated while he is there. Well it wouldn't be a loss of innocent life would it?

No, but it would rob us of a chance to bring him to trial first.

If he was assassinated then the Labour party would spin it to rewrite history to clear his name.
