We have no conviction polititians now of the calibre, individuality and honesty of Thatcher or Churchill to rally the passions of the ordinary voter. At least Blair had the conviction to remove the heart of Labour (Clause 4) before mesmerizing disillusioned Conservative voters to support him.

Removing Clause 4 was as dishonest as the implantation of false evidence re W.M.D., but he made them both work with the assistance of spin. What we need now is some HONEST conviction, which I do not see in Mr. Cameron. A hung parliament will be a nightmare for this poor country. The troops need rallying with some basic home truths.

He would also still give Cameron a run for his money, I say this not as a Labour person, but as a Conservative.

Blair, a clever lawyer, has the benefit of all previous evidence to present his case, making New Labour appear united, and putting the best possible face on what we now know was illegal agression and occupation on another state for which we are all paying, thousands with their lives? Will it be another whitewash?

The only thing he is saying which carries any semblance of conviction is that he really believed it was the right thing to do. Does this amount to criminal intent?
