Mr Blair is finally leaving.
Some of his speech comments were very revealing about his attitude to the people of this country.
"putting the country first....means doing what you genuinely believe to be right. Your duty is to act according to your conviction"
Of unexpected events - "Sometimes...you are alone with your own instinct"
On responding to 9/11 "I decided ... out of belief"
HELLO, You were leader of a DEMOCRATIC country!
You should be elected to serve the will of the people wether we people are right or wrong. That's up to us and we should decide what consequences we will accept, not 1 person deciding for all of us.
These remarks are the same reasoning every dictator and aboslute ruler everywhere and in every age has used to justify themselves. You are in good company Mr Blair - Hitler, Saddam, Stalin, all may have used such words to justify their actions and decisions.
The terrible thing is our so called 'democracy' allows him and other prime ministers to get away with it and this clearly shows it needs a change.
But it won't happen, they have the power, won't give it up and above all, don't trust the people of this country to do what is right for the political establishment.
Perhaps Mr Brown may prove to be different, I live in hope, but with little expectation
