The Blair Legacy Tour
In the Downing Street bunker a coterie of Blair aides, including party guru Philip Gould and chief of staff Jonathan Powell, have drawn up a memo that suggests that, amid a whirlwind of television and radio appearances, the prime minister should visit the most striking buildings of his 10-year rule. Picture credit theFirstPost.co.uk - follow the link to see their other suggested building photo-ops.

there's no piccie of him laughing outside number 11....with his hand doing the 'loser' sign
The Dome for starters.
Perhaps someone, somewhere ..... please, will take a leaf out of Dallas and spare the public the vainglorious tour de force.
wonderful
the dome was a major government project though.
Is that photo one of blair outside Lord levys office after the fire tragically destroyed so many important documents?
Sensational monuments of the 1st Regime for The Glorious Leader to be photographed in self-congratulatory mode:
1. One of the major NHS, DWP, Home Office etc IT computer centres in full non-operation
2. Under a detaching beam in the Scottish Parliament
3. In a closed hospital
4. In the packed cattle cars that pass for urban transport in London
5. In a queue at the Job Centre with the undereducated, innumerate and semi-literate results of his "education, education, education" policy
6. At a major international bus station greeting the 629,815 immigrants arriving to address the problems caused by (5)
Agree the dome is very logical, but Beirut, Baghdad and Basra are very much closer to what nearly 10 years of Tone's ethical foreign policy have wrought. That brings us up to 10 good examples why he should have resigned yesterday.
The most striking building of the last 10 years?
The spin dryer.
I think an open-topped limo ride through Baghdad to let all those grateful Iraqis he keeps telling us about pay homage to their messiah would be a fitting end.
is Mr Fawkes stirring hot air!
"In the Downing Street bunker a coterie of Blair aides, including party guru Philip Gould and chief of staff Jonathan Powell, have drawn up a memo"
on the assumption that such a memo exists, where/what is the evidence with regards to who is behind this memo. This is given that such a memo would/could suit virtually any tom, dick or harry.
Vlad has missed out another victim of the Dear Leader's humanitarian interventions. Add the ethical bombing of Belgrade to the list of poor Bs.
We want him to stay on, his hubris will destroy the labour party and make him look a complete prat in the eyes of the country. I'm looking forward to the next few months.
ps - having said the above (12.19pm), the artificially created picture that accompanies the blog entry is, I have to admit, damn good!
10/10.

Didn`t suit one Tom apparently,a few Dicks no doubt
Can I buy tickets for the Blair farewell tour? Have locations and dates where he is appearing been announced? Is there a website? Will there be airport-style security at the venues preventing me from bringing in my bottle of mineral water and having to buy official merchandise for consumption on the premises (Eau de Blair, ColaBlair, Red Bullsh*t, BlairO2, Bushijuice, Cherie Liqueur, any I'm Innocent smoothie, Gordon's Gin, etc.). Will I be allowed to bring in rotten fruit?
The most disurbing aspect of Blair's 'legacy' is the thought that we'll all be receiving a bill for 40% inheritance tax.
Outside the White House seems an obvious choice!

I was hoping for more of a Ceauşescu style retirement myself.
Fruity. If Blair stays on and destroys the Labour Party, he would have done some good. Then he would be be entiltled to his fairwell tour.

Far too merciful for either of them. Perhaps we could persuade Vlad the Impaler (12:02 PM) to come out of retirement? Failing that, I am sure Archbishop Cranmer could be prevailed upon to supervise burning at the stake. Him for apostasy, and her for witchcraft.
The Farewell Tour could go down a bomb. With any luck.
Ooops. That could get me arrested.
Listen you tory cunts: he could visit Northern Ireland, where with his help, people have stopped killing each other in the name of their god; Kosovo, where he helped turn back the Serbian fascists; or maybe working families whose standard of living is immeasurably better after 9 years of New Labour. Not that middle class, metropolitan wankers like you lot would notice....
To the above anonymous the reason that the IRA folded was 9/11 when Bush stated that the good old USA would no longer fund terrorism. Then dear Tone let the murderous bastards off the hook they were impaled on. Your an absolute arsehole.
anonymous 3:51pm
I see Alistair Campbells woken up after his post lunch nap
Clearly anonymous at 3:51 is a Blairite.
Any brain dead apparatchik would know there is no real legacy.
As for tax credits, working class families have found the scheme to be a millstone and tax-payers have had to foot the bill for incompetence.
As for NI the gangsters are still there, killing and fighting over their turf wars, running corruption and every scam going.
B-liar has been an absolute failure and disaster.
Where are you guido? We want to know what's going on!!!
I know it was not one of his achievements but I would love to see Blair at the Tomatina - as the target!
John Prescott is 100/1 for the next leader of the labour party. I'm off to Ladbrooks before he comes galloping in to scratch the 'teflon' on Tone.
Moriarty - I have often admired the Romanian people for their impulse to action and their flair for drama ...
Blair and Prescott should visit the North East Regional Assembly we voted no to, and press a big red button that demolishes it!
http://www.northeastassembly.gov.uk
See that! They didn't listen, they just took the 'no' vote as meaning we didn't want to elect people to sit in it so they should appoint them instead.
So grab Prescott by the ear, drag him up here and knock it down like we told you to!
Bah!
Anonymous (3:51) is as ignorant of Balkan politics and culture as his chum Tony. "Something must be done" Blair bombed Serbia in support of Albanian terrorists whose propaganda accused the Serbs of ethnic cleansing. With the connivance of our Tone, Kosova is indeed now ethnically clean - all of the Jews, the Roma and most of the Serbs have been driven out by the Albanian drug and people smuggling gangs now running the province. Milosovic and his cronies were certainly klepto bastards, but they weren't fascists. If you are looking for fascists in the Balkans, look at Tony's buddies in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo. Oh, and ask him about their al-Queda links as well.
Guido, it's just gone 5 and all's quiet here.
Unless you've got a gunpowder-related excuse, wake up mate.
Steven_I_said ... something about the northeast assembly. I thought he was talking bollocks 'til I followed his link. Astounding.
I can no longer laugh at the unrepresentative and unaccountable 'Moslem Council of Great Britain'
We've already said ‘Goodbye’.
Since you've got to go
Oh you had better go now.
Go now. Go now. Go now
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me
Just what you intend to do now.
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you
Darling, darling,
I'm still in love
With you now?
We've already said ‘So long’
I don't want to see you go.
Oh you had better go now.
Go now. Go now. Go now
Don't you even try telling me
That you don't want me to end this way
'Cause, darling, darling,
Can't you see I want you to stay?
We've already said ‘Goodbye’.
Since you've got to go
Oh you had better go now.
Go now. Go now. Go now
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me
Just what you intend to do now.
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you
Darling, darling,
I'm still in love,
Still in love,
With you now?
I don't want to see you go
But, darling,
You'd better go now.
Maybe the White House?
Wembley, The Dome, The Scottish Parliament... Brilliant stuff!

Nice photo Guido. Have you tried submitting it to Reuters?
That hut on the South Pole? Or is this wishful thinking?
Just got home from t'metropolis after a meeting in W1 to get a new hotel developed.
The dome has always been a disaster (ask the chairman of Gillingham FC who bought half the left-over stuff when it spectacularly folded),and the car park adjoining now charges £6 a day.
No mean beer you might say after all it used to be only £4. Not if you have to park with your arse half out of the fence and one wheel in a drain.
The enormous (several acres) piece of land just on the other side of the road has been empty and shut off for over five years. All that income lost by the stupid, thick, uncommercial, paperclip chaining, serial tax wasters who administer(ed) the dome, and all of their hangers on, should be deducted from their bulging pensions and put into providing some real place to park and ride.
I may well work out how much they have thrown away soon...
The tube packed up anyway, so, after I have had a
strong Sanatogen and Brobat, I'm going to have a lie down in my shed.

Your incorrect comments on N.I. and Kosovo have been covered by others.For the record I`ve voted Labour all my life until the last 2 elections when I`ve not felt I`ve had anyone to vote for.I`m a Trade Union member and have been an activist in the past,also dabbled with the SWP in my youth,so much for the "Tory Cunts".
I`m a manual worker and have been made redundant 3 times in the last 5 years as manufacturing jobs disappear from this country at a frightening rate with nothing from the party my Union fees help to subsidise but waffling about "market forces",same lot that let Europen Companies have a free hand here while they block us from their markets.As a working man I`ve had nothing but continual kicks in the teeth from this sorry shambles of a government,from having my pension looted to having my income slashed by spiralling council tax and utility bills while Fatboy keeps quiet about all the extra V.A.T. that rakes in.I`m not middle-class,I`ve been a shop-floor worker almost all of my working life.It`s people like me Labour always used to represent,people like me that cop the sharp end of every stealth tax and cut-back.The ones that to "metropolitan wankers" are irritating and inconvienient at worst hit me and people like me hard and it`s getting to the point of "what can I cut back on?" more and more.I think you`ll find that New Labour comprises mainly of the "Metropolitan middle-class wankers" you speak of,just take a look at the former proffesions of most of their M.P.s.New Labour isn`t Labour at all,it`s an abomination,a con and a lie,the sooner it implodes the better I`ll like it.When Blair goes down there will be all kinds of skeletons coming out of the cupboard when he no longer has the power to cover-up,pull strings,bribe or issue vague threats to those who know.
"he could visit Northern Ireland, where with his help, people have stopped killing each other in the name of their god;"
*sigh* - what ignorance of recent history.
then again, Nu Labour drones dont even know the meaning of the term "nationalism".
and moko - well said.
steven_l -> amazing find. i honestly thought that it truely had been voted against and was as dead as a Norweigian Blue...
obviously not!

Is he going to do a duet with Cliff Richard. Assuming he lasts the weekend of course.

exactly. When Bliar is out of office, he won't have the resources, power or control that he presently has behind him.
I can't see him staying in the UK. He will be careful not to be caught in embarrassing situations, thus he won't be in any hurry to meet/chat with un-prepicked members of the public.
