John.
Perhaps Blur had a lot of dirt on the Royals, he must have had something as according to the blurbs on TV he told her to lower the flag for Diana's funeral and come outside, which she appeared at the time reluctant to do. He was a crafty basward.

Re: Sir anthony Blair
He still is Des. Maybe he fancied himself as another J .Edgar Hoover. Another of his idols was Gaddafi, think they both had dirty hands . The mockery of a hearing of Bliars involvement in the Middle East was a fiasco.As most things in life at his level in life it’s who you know , or what you know about them. JS

Re: Sir anthony Blair
There was on our paper just over a week ago a small item about Blair and his involvement with Albania.
From memory it was not a very friendly article towards his actions.
Only read the first few or so lines as I have no time for the likes of him.
Reminds me too much of our current state premier, the dictator.

Re: Sir anthony Blair
Like hello as if Tony Blair is going to get a fair shout in an Australian newspaper? Who owns the paper Rupbert Murdoch? Think Mr Murdoch is still pi--ed off after Tony allegedly had dalliance with the Wendi Deng.

Of course they do, all dependent of course on just what agenda/bias that "publication" is trying to push.
In the UK if you're a swivel eyed right wing bigot you read the Mail or the Express as that panders to your prejudices, if you're more left leaning or indeed have any kind of social conscience you read the Guardian.

I don't know anything about British newspapers, but from what I can remember I thought the Guardian; which I admit I never read, was rather upper class.?

Re: Sir anthony Blair
The press no matter who owns will run what ever will bring in good sales, not good news.
Murdoch many not like Blair but if a story concerning him will bring in money he will print.
