Wesley Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I'm surprised no one has made a thread... I'm quite sad he's gone... And I'm being serious, I really am.
Fresh Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Fresh predicts Jordan is going to make a good comment in here. Regarding Blair...meh. I'm more sad about the Blair/Brown partnership ending. It was strong and effective.
Slaggis Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I'm peeved that gordon brown has just automatically become priminister. It a bit unfair really seeing as when people vote in a genrral election their also voting for a personality (tony blair), but now he's gone its now someone who we didn't choose. Their should have been a new election.
The fish Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I'm surprised no one has made a thread... So am I. I think he was a very, very, very good PM, who made many very good decisions, but one very, very crap one. As for Brown, I think he is, for a start, going to fix the NHS. Good times are coming, methinks.

Their should have been a new election. The Labour party chose him as Blair's successor. It's the party you want in power that you vote for, not the PM. I think it was the right move anyway, as this country is a little bit stupid, and thinks that the Conservatives would be a good group of people to run the country. Get real, Britain. Actually, saying that, a few days ago Labour where ahead in the polls! Woo!
thirtynine. Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 This is what will happen: Brown withdraws xxx number of troops from Iraq! Brown fixes NHS forever! Then we have a general election Labour wins! Brown invades several "terrorist" countries for no reason. Blair and bush need to be arrested for war crimes but alas. They shall not be.

Brown invades several "terrorist" countries for no reason. Blair and bush need to be arrested for war crimes but alas. They shall not be. The first four points will probably happen... Blair was a brilliant PM I'm going to miss him. I would say the same, but Brown is going to be much better in my opinion.
Wesley Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Blair ... to be arrested for war crimes but alas. They shall not be. These would be...?
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Blair was a brilliant PM I'm going to miss him. I'm going to miss him, too. On the whole, I felt he made more good decisions than bad, and he probably got far more stick than he ever really deserved. I'm also going to miss his voice and hand gestures during speeches.
DanielTimothy Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Surely they aren't stupid enough to risk a repeat of Thatcherism? I mean, going to war shouldn't have taken the shine off ten years of good leadership (Peace in Northen Ireland, Safer Country, Improved Schooling).
Haden Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Great PM had a 2 minute standing ovation from nearly everyone in parlimant which is unheard of. A true historical figure of our generation.
harribo Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 These would be...? Thats exactly what I was thinking.
KKOB Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I was a sad freak and have been watching everything in the lead up to today over the past few months, particularly the past few days, and i found today rather exciting. Blair has been the best prime minister we could've had, apart from pissing people off with spin i think he did an amazing job. Brown is such a radical change from Blair, and although he has personality, he himself isn't as exciting as Blair. Now his reforms and aims sounds like they're going to be-hopefully-radical and good for the country. he has about 2 years to prove himself up to the job, and able to fight off the tories, which i whole heartedly hope he does. I'll be sooo pissed off if people fall for Cameron's fucking stupid me too tactics and fake persona. He's the tory Tony-but about 150% worse since he doesn't mean half the shit he says. I really don't know why i'm so strongly against the Conservatives but i know that Labour have done a fucking great job with this country over the past 10 years, and as long as they continue i'll be happy. The country seems to forget that if it wasn't for the Labour party and Tony's charisma they wouldn't have voted him in, and our country wouldn't be anywhere near as good as it is today.

Their should have been a new election. No you dont. You vote for the party, the party that wins choses who they want to put in power (effectivly). Blair chose his successor. It's the party you want in power that you vote for, not the PM. No he didn't. The Labour party selected their new leader nobody else put their name forward.
Sanchez Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 My history teacher has this picture of that howard tory guy with a glass of wine drawn in a comic style with the caption "Are you drinking what we're drinking?" cracks me up every time.
The fish Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 No he didn't. The Labour party selected their new leader nobody else put their name forward. My bad. At least I was on the right track, unlike some people...
thirtynine. Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Thats exactly what I was thinking. Entering into an illigal war maybe...
harribo Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Entering into an illigal war maybe... How can something that was voted for in parliament be illegal? I'm assuming you mean illegal because I have no idea what illigal means.
thirtynine. Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I did mean that thank you for correctin my typo. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1305709,00.html Thats the wholoe thing reasonably nicely summarised. Personally I think Blair was a terrible PM for the last four or so years, Hopefully Brown can and will do a better job.
welsh_gamer Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I watched the coverage on the BBC this afternoon. Was quite enjoyable. Nice little speech, and very nice of Cameron to wish him luck in his future. Loled at Cherie's little comment to the Press when they left. But my oh my, Brown is very very boring in my opinion, but has a very sexy wife I really can't see him winning the next election, or getting 'on' with Bush. Wonder what Tony will do next? Guest host HIGNFY...
The fish Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Wonder what Tony will do next? Guest host HIGNFY... Oh god, they'll crucify him! He'll make Boris look like a pro!
