Get rid of Tony Blair

Oh god how I hate Tony Blair and how much I wish he would go, or be removed by his party.  There are those who hope he could be tried for war crimes over Iraq or that he will be drawn into criminal proceedings around the sale of honours, but it is hard to see either of those happening.  If he was totally deranged and committed a blatant crime that is one thing.  Otherwise so far as honours are concerned it is all tied up in the “nod and a wink” ways of the establishment.  Indeed the system is, as he seemed to acknowledge today, fundamentally corrupt in any event, allowing sitting PMs to appoint to the Lords party supporters who do not necessarily have any merit, and would never stand any chance of being elected.  It stinks, it makes me incredibly angry, and it makes the “cash for questions” sleaze of the Tories pre 1997 look small beer.
