Prime Minister Tony Blair taking a photograph of himself on a mobile phone on a visit to a sailing academy in Dorset, in southwest England, yesterday. The visit was his first campaign appearance in elections set for May.

I don't understand the Tories at all. If they just ran on two big issues--crime and independence from Europe--they'd win in a landslide.
But no one in Britain wants to appear "American" so instead they just sound like a mild version of Labour. The Tories' Iraq policy is so opaque it's disgraceful, but that's another story.
What do you mean?
Tories need another Thatcher
Blair will win, I guarantee it. I'll eat the proverbial hat factory if he doesn't.
Incidentally, he's in my home town of Weymouth, in that photograph. Key marginal seat.
There seems to be a fair amount of disenchantment with Tony. I won't be surprised if the Liberal Democrats pull the rug out from under him.
This is the most poorly written headline ever.
""a big and positive vision for the future of our country.""
If i knew how to post images I would be posting a copy a cover of orwell's 1984 AND the london tube posters 'Secure beneath the Watchful Eyes"
actually those posters were for london buses, not the tube....does anyone know where I can get one or get the full-size image file they are printed from?
Yes, that's my impression. You can read about about them here.
Not any more, they aren't. Union influence on the Party is now vestigial following the big purges and constitutional changes of the early 90s, which made Labour electable in 1997. And what's this guff about 'compulsory tithes to the church'??
I offer you 25/1 odds if you want to bet against Blair winning. My friend Will has £15k of his savings riding on a Labour victory - he's a tory as well.
You're on. Everyone's a winner baby. (well, except you on this one).
Not a chance.
Not a chance of what, Blair losing or the Liberal Democrats winning? I'll agree that the latter is unlikely, but Blair angered a good deal of Labor voters with his support for the war in Iraq. They could stay home or vote for the Liberal Democrats.
The used car salesman smile so Clinton like but then so are the policies.
