And away he goes!
I remember going to work in a really good mood the day after Tony Bliar first came into power 10 years ago. The future seemed so bright, with many possibilities. Great things were promised to us all, and as a naive 22 year old, of course I believed what I read. But now look at us, 10 years and much cynicism later; we're embroiled in an awful, horrible war, and so many of TB's promises have been broken that I struggle to remember one that's been kept.
So that is why I say "hooray!" now that we finally have a date for him to shuffle off and do whatever it is that retired PMs do - bask in the sun in Barbados? Play golf? Give after-dinner speeches? Go and visit Bush on his ranch? Whatever - all I have to say is:
Byeee!

Can you remember their campagin before they won? It was basically all about the Tories lying....
Oh the irony...
Having an friend who's very active in politics, I wasn't as naive as you was perhaps back then, so I knew it wouldn't be any different, they'll lie just as much too.
Top 3 priorities is Education, education and education....my arse!
Now the Tories are facing a *possible* victory...can't people just tell both parties to just bugger off and vote for The Official Monster Raving Loony Party!
Oh well...RIP Screaming Lord Sutch!
