What, he hasn't done enough damage already?

[emmie]

obviously not. I was listening to the radio yesterday and he was talking about the Queen and her so called historic meeting and shaking hands with Martin McGuinness. the smarm is so evident, he can't keep out of this if his life depended on it.

[emmie]

not likely to happen, i surely hope not.

[youngmafbog]

I wonder what headline The Sun could come up with if he did. Afterall be very difficult to beat the 'Is this the most dangerous man in Britain' one.

The man is a deluded megnomaniac, always was that is why he harboured delusions of being President of Europe, then Rumpy Pumpy beat him to it !

[emmie]

wasn't it a case of a degree of opposition from his own party to his election to the Presidency.

[jno]

I would be prime minister too. However, saying it doesn't make it so, for him or for me. I wouldn't worry too much about the possibility.

[bibblebub]

He didn't suddenly appear and make a proclamation that he'd want to be PM again, he simply answered one of the many questions in one of the many interviews he gave.

[jno]

Maggie would give the same answer, I'm sure. And Disraeli.

[THEMOTLEY1]

If, God forbid, that ever happened, would the last person to leave GB Ltd please turn out the lights and close the door behind them.

[modeller]

jno #I would be prime minister too.#

Please do jno I'll vote for you .

[emmie]

but most wouldn't give that answer, and in his case he must realise there wouldn't be any chance, not least from his own party.

[jno]

thank you, modeller, want to be my chancellor?

[modeller]

Sure would, we would make a good team.

[jno]

excellent, you'd get to whip bankers three times a day.

[modeller]

Great idea . Maybe we could enrol a few other ABers in the cabinet.
On the other hand with such diverse opinions that might require a coalition.

[Ric.ror]

Well he would get my vote

[Quizmonkey]

By far the best PM in my lifetime. All the rabid posters above are victims of the Daily Mail, Sun and other tory-licking fascist rags.

[Duncer]

A very reasoned post Quizmonkey (not)!

So, because I don't like Phony Blair I'm a tory-licking fascist or, at best read papers of that ilk.

Leaving aside the fact that Tory has a capital "T", I have relatives who fought against fascism in both World Wars, as I suspect I would myself, although I'm not 100% sure I would risk my life for any political ideology, given the paucity of believable statesmen these days.

I can assure you that I have never licked a Tory in my life, at least not to my knowledge although, were she quite attractive I might, as long as she bought me a few drinks and flattered me a bit first.

I see no evidence of rabid posters, only a rabid response in defence of a man who took us into an illegal war, costing many young men their lives. Add in the state of the economy when he left then I think that is enough for starters.

We never learn do we . . . Maggie Thatcher (is she still having a State Funeral?), Tony Blair, George Brown and now the Cuddle Twins

[Duncer]

Is George related to Gordon?

Are they both doing Sarah? Surely not????

[sir.prize]

You aint no Dunce are you, Duncer? My error.
