Re: Gary Lineker
You're right about the former health secretary. Of course you mean Hunt, he decimated the NHS after the Labour party tried to polish it of before him, he just made a better job of it. Prime ministers lying through their teeth? I can't think of one that didn't, it's called bollotics.

Were these tid-bits from your "source" - "the former BBC executive" ...?
BTW Blair always lied through his teeth ... only he got away with it.
He's now a multi-millionaire "peace-maker".
The irony!

Re: Gary Lineker
Why is it Tories like yourself and others always bring up Tony Blair? funny how millions voted him in for 3 general elections.
We all know Thatcher only got re elected on the back of the Falklands War. She was told she would need to pull out a white rabbit out of the hat to stand a chance. Let's face it, it was never going to be hard to beat Labour under the mis guidance of Michael Foot.
Thatcher's first term as Prime Minister had not been an easy time.[2] Unemployment increased during the first three years of her premiership and the economy went through a recession. However, the British victory in the Falklands War led to a recovery of her personal popularity, and economic growth had begun to resume.
The Tories are absolutely bricking it now that the hard left are being purged from the Labour party. New Labour again? well we will see I suppose come 2024 is it when the next general election takes place.
Perhaps those in Scotland may rebel against the SNP and Labour will get a grip on Scotland again? To be honest I would be surprised if people in England give a toss about how Scotland or anywhere else in the other home nations voted for that matter.

Re: Gary Lineker
Tony Blair was the biggest liar and hypocrite.
A fact which never should be forgotten.... hence the repetition of his name.
350 British lads plus several hundreds of thousands Iraqi's deaths on his and Bush's hands.
All the goings on in Government pale into insignificance compared to his heinous crime -
and I for one, will never forgive nor forget - hence my "bringing his name up."

It's worth remembering that the Tories wholeheartedly supported the invasion.
When the vote came in parliament not a single Tory MP voted against the war; that was left to the SNP, Lib Dems and of course 1/4 of the Labour party who voted against their leader.
I'm sure many shall well remember how those politicians who opposed the war were pilloried in the national press - particularly by the Tory press - for not supporting the invasion.
Short memories do abound.

Re: Gary Lineker
Well Thomas I will let you get on with your evening. As Vernon has asked calm seas.
No more on this from me on this subject.
Great news from Manchester crown court today.
Thomas Cashman, 34, has been jailed for 42 years for the murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in Liverpool.
Very good Panarama programme tonight about drugs and gang wars in Liverpool.

There is apparently a £250,000 bounty on his head.
Gangs are afraid that he will trade info for a soft billet.
