Question:
Does Mr.Blair cares any more?
2007-02-21 06:08:07 UTC
Mr.Blair is supporting the road tax charges ,but he is going to a greener pasture,more money, less hassel and he may not even live in this country, as rich people always look after each other. What about the people that he is leaving behind and have to strugle on day to day basis to deal with all the tax increases he is left us with . Is it fair that he is making decisions for all of us when he does not care anymore.

Blair doesn't give a **** about me and you the working class as the petition for road tax increase demonstrates!! I can't believe that this shenanigan is allowed to carry on, somebody surely should regulate what the government is up to!! They are absolutely nailing us all to the floor with their taxes, I personally don't think big businesses should have anything to do with the government because that's all they care about in the end, not us. Business and politics should remain separate, no more big election campaigns funded by Tescos, and then the owners of which suddenly become Lords and Ladies!! In other countries like France, the people rise up and protest blockading ports and creating havoc and the government has to back down, this happened in Britain with the fuel crisis, a few lorry drivers got the hump and blockaded the fuel refinery's and it worked. Here in Britain we are just force-fed political spin and expected to swallow it even though we know whats really going on! Us the British people are to relaxed about what the government are up to, we should go out on the streets and protest, kick up a fuss, just like the French minus the onions and garlic! I'm emigrating as soon as possible. Somewhere hot preferably.

Tell me any politician that cares, once they get into power,this latest tax on road usage will not affect him as no doubt politician's will be exempt from it or will claim it back,if they can claim it back for going to work then why cant the rest of us?.

As for going he cannot go yet as his pension goes up a substantial amount when he has served 10 years as prime minister.I bet his pension is safe not like many people who saved with the government pension scheme only to lose out.

No it is not fair that he is still making decisions, nor that he ever did why should we have a Scottish prime minister telling us what to do, wouldn't he be better serving Scotland.

I don't think he's ever cared. I met him a couple of years ago at a Labour Party Rally, just before the last Election. One of his workers asked me if I wouldn't mind filling in a Labour Party Application form and hand it to him personally. I did as I was asked, I filled in the form, then handed it to Mr. Blair. He didn't even know what it was. His secretary had to explain to him that it was an application form. I was told I would receive a thankyou letter straight from 10 Downing St. But I never received one.

Personally I found him cold and calculating, just there to win points for the Election and nothing else. But at least I got him to sign my daughter's School reading book.

If labour want to stay in power the Blair must go now and give Brown a chance to show he is different.If not they will loose the next election.



Tony Blair like lots of politicians really only cares about himself and his hold on power.He says he wants to leave a legacy but it looks like it is getting harder all the time to come up with something people will remember and respect him for.

Tony Blair is showing every sign of being totally out of touch with reality he even believes his own publicity (spin) his cabinet is looking more corrupt by the day, what was the motive for 24 hour pub opening and super casinos?. As for Gordon Brown if he had any bottle he would have been Prime Minister years ago.When the Labour Party regained power I was delighted but they are a bitter disappointment.

I will be honest, I remember the day after Labour came to power in !997, I felt hopefull for the first time for years. How quickly it went down the toilet. Blairs government react to whatever is in the news, he offers crisis management only, he and cronies are not fit for the job. I feel conned. Blair lives in la la land, he keeps spouting the same old spin and seems to think we believe it. The only hope I have left is the men in white coats come and take him away. He never cared. And he is difficult to get rid of.

If he cared-if would look at what people in the UK wanted....

(IE) OK pay road tax, but get shoot of car tax, and tunnel fees like the QE2 Bridge, between Kent And Essex, that would cause less accidents and LESS traffic build-up, COME ON MR BLAIR, WE ARE NOT ALL LIKE YOU, CAN DRIVE ROUND FREE WITH A MAN DRIVING YOU, SOME OF US DO HAVE TO WORK/OR RATHER MOST OF USE HAVE TO WORK TO SURVIVE-SO No, No, No TO ROAD TAX CHARGES, LOOK AT WHAT YOU WILL DO TO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE......

Blair is and always has been a jellyfish no backbone, he cares only for himself.

Could Blair live in this country after Labour loses surely not, once the real truth comes out about all the lies, dodgy deals,corruption and criminal behaviour he has been involved in, he hopefully will be extradited from America to stand trial for war crimes.

I doubt that he ever really cared for anyone or anything apart from lining his pocket. Have you seen the email he has sent to everyone who signed the road pricing petition - does he think we are without common sense or any intelligence? His comments actually amount to very little apart from the fact that he pays lip service to 'debate' - with whom, I wonder?

Paddy where do you live? or was your answer tongue in cheek?.

All Tony Blair cares about is... you guessed.. Tony Blair. Off he'll go into the sunset, earning loads of money, telling the stupid yanks how brilliant he is and leaving the British tax payer to pick up the tab for the bloody mess he's made of this country.

Questions like yours make me very Angry!

Of Course 'Tony Blair' cares !

Sadly he's only ever cared for 'Himself'!



I know this is true as because 'Cherie' told me & the 'Brigade of Ghurkas' when she was the guest speaker at our annual reunion. Where after a few sherries she did some 'Pole-Dancing' then tried to make some extra cash by trying to sell raffle tickets {1st Prize her doing a private Lap-Dance} sadly no one purchased any tickets.

He has lost the plot, never had it in my mind. I blame the people who voted him in the second time, they had a chance to get rid of him. Just remember those rich people generate wealth in the country, and taxing them 40% and having inheritance tax helps to make us all poorer. Mr Brown is generating money not for this country but to pay for the stupid two wars they have put us in.The sooner we get rid of this Labour government the better.

It might be more enlightening to look into what your taxes are being used for rather than the amount. In some countries (the united states of america). Taxes are used for bullets / bombs / and unemployed people. Tony Blair works harder than most and has a lot of things to deal with. I'm sure he would give up his paycheck to wash away the stress he has day to day. I think he's doing the best he can.
2007-02-21 09:35:13 UTC
mr blair does care

about HIMSELF

dont be swayed by the

drivvle he spurts out

or his cheesey chesire cat

grin,he has ruined labour

for working class people

and he knows exactly what hes doing

hes a paid up ol cronie himself

britain needs to rid him and all of

these burdens like him from this

small island once and for all

believe me its nearing the day

when this place becomes intolerable to

live completely,through jumped up oiks

like him chipping away at its very foundations

and traditional values ,hes a fake a crook and a

LIAR !

i care because im in simple terms that type of individual, i care because if you're placed in this earth you're between the fortunate ones so stay your life to the completed and bear in thoughts one element and that is in simple terms to care even a touch !
2007-02-21 06:17:21 UTC
What do you mean, "any more"? He's always been the grinning chimp frontman for a moneymaking scheme in the fine tradition of British politics. I don't know why people think it's a new phenomena. Politics has always been about keeping power and money in the ruling classes.

It has nothing to do with greenhouse gases, it never has been, its just anther way to tax us. They say we must us public transport but i live in Telford and Mr Blair you come hear and try to get a bus to get you to work on time. This is not London we do not have a 24/7 bus service nor do most of the country. Get the public transport right then try to get us out of our cars

He doesn't care, none of them do. I don't understand how Britain can still get away with calling itself a democracy when the Government has ridden rough-shod over every single agenda item the public has raised up against.



Almost like 'the more you complain, the more we tax you'.
2007-02-21 13:35:37 UTC
I honestly believe that he doesn't. He knows that whatever he decides to do or say now will not make the slightest difference to him when he leaves office. The road tax charges are aprime example.

No I do not think he ever did care about the welfare of his fellow countrymen. He just said what he thought they wanted to hear in order that they would vote for him and keep him in the manner he and his accomplice (Cherie) had got accustomed to.

I totally agree with you , what happens after he has gone is not his concern and I believe he is setting policies in place for when gordon brown takes over.

I don't feel he ever cared at all, at any point, about anything other than his own wallet. They're all the same and all out for themselves. You're kidding yourself if you think any politician gives a damn about us.
