Do you know any poor ex PMs ?
They all seem to go on speaking tours for lucrative fees .
There is no doubt that Tony Blair is a clever and astute man .
Had he not made the fatal decision to go into Iraq - a decision supported by both Houses of Parliament
He would have gone down better or worse as a statesman .
There are as many poor MPs as there are poor Trade Union Officials. I knew one who was SO poor, he was made a Baron and frequented a restaurant I visited occassionally. This particular Baron was very loyal to his union or so the members thought until it was made know he worked alongside Special Branch due to the militants undertow.
