But has Blair’s behaviour in UK office really been socialistic? If you think it has been, then what Western leader has been any less socialistic recently? For the party of the left in the UK he was just as tough on terrorism as your own, Republican, president for example. Margaret Thatcher, you will recall, was hardly one to mince her words. She seems delighted that the Old Labour of the left has moved to the centre ground in politics.

By your argument, Britain should surely have been in real trouble in 1950s,60s and 70s when Labour administrations were significantly more left-wing than today?

YES!

The socialist movement is global now, thanks to international institutions pushing "free trade" and the corporate corruption of national governments. Tony Blair is a demonstrated advocate of these.
