Who is the Prime Minister of the UK?
Interesting interview last week in The Times between reporter Tom Baldwin and George W.Bush. The president of the free world, discussing the US/UK partnership, cited the relationship between Churchill and Roosevelt as well as the more recent one “between Tony Blair and myself”. Not much mention of Gordon Brown.
Which reminds me. I overheard a tour guide at the House of Commons a few days ago talking to his posse of American/European tourists. He asked: “Can anyone tell me who is prime minister of the UK?”
The resounding answer: “Tony Blair”.
Brown will go down as the most useless PM in modern, post-WWII politics. He is nothing but a bloated, blustering, bullying care-taker PM until something else happens.
I was shocked of late to read in radical Canadian magazine Adbusters lefty blowhard Stephen Lewis claim Brown was going to save the world. His comments and claimed observations based on personal contact with Brown, sounded so far from reality it was along the lines of Chamberlain’s “I can work with Mr Hitler.”

I dread to think what have we done to deserve such a useless Prime Minister since World War II.

Leadership has gone off the scale in this country, and the world hasn’t even noticed the switch.
With what is going on in with banks, a fresh approach might be what this country needs before long. I for one don’t have confidence in the caretaker.
