Always_boring_in_wilts,

Oh dear! ABIW I understand FULLY! It may have been some time ago but I did
spend some years in the RAF as GD(P), went right through the training regime and two tours CR, and I still have some serving friends, I know what the majority think of him and they have every right to hold those opinions.

I have spent far more time in this thread discussing the legal elements of
the old Dr’s case than I have talking about Blair. I merely commented on a
ridiculous claim made by another poster, I wasn’t pro Blair in any way
shape or form.

You have no idea what I actually think of Blair, you have no idea who I
voted for and you really are making a HUGE assumption (totally incorrect
BTW) if you think I even tolerate some (not all) of the things Blair stands for.

There was nothing smug, and certainly nothing clever, about pointing out
that he did actually win the last election, it’s just a fact, plain and
simple, you may not like it, but he did.

To get back on topic(!?) Squirrel 41/burpblade,

Couldn’t agree more, this is going to be a fascinating case and one that
could well have considerable consequences totally unseen and unsought at
the outset. The decision to prosecute could well be a very grave mistake.

On a wider note, despite his best intentions, I think this debacle will be what Blair will be remembered for for all time.
