Tony Blair

So he's moving on - probably to make loads more money as an after dinner speaker!!

Got me thinking that he's probably done alright by me.

When I look at my situation now compared to when he came to power and when I look at this country now compared to when he came to power the only real negatives I see is where success in certain things have made him a victim of his own success!

My industry is a fine example of this. Good strong economy with lots of people in full time employment. However the infrastructure of the railways can't cope with the growth so everyone is up in arms about overcrowding! Simplistic example I know but money to make everything grow is just not there. Is the way forward really to tax everyone to the hilt? Someone has to pay for it or do we just put up with certain situations?

Anyway, I Digress. I earn more now, have a good standard of living, nice house, 2 cars, holidays each year, well paid job, can pretty much afford to do what I want, when I want (within reason), so thanks Tony from me!!!
