So Mr Blairs books out, and he's dishing the dirt on poor old Mr Brown. Must admit, certainly one for my reading list. Favourite quote so far is his reference to Brown: "...In the book, Mr Blair described his colleague as a "strange guy" who, while he had "enormous ability", had "no instinct at the human, gut level". He added: "Political calculation, yes. Political feelings, no. Analytical intelligence, absolutely. Emotional intelligence, zero."  BBC News - Tony Blair tells of tension with 'maddening' Brown
“Political calculation, yes. Political feelings, no. Analytical intelligence, absolutely. Emotional intelligence, zero.” Poor Mr. Brown. I feel sorry for anyone described with Zero emotional intelligence, honestly, emotions and 'feelings' are what make humans... human. Not my type of reading material personally. Saying that, if you do get a chance to read it, review it here! Maybe you can entice people into reading  I4Visual
You know what...I watched the Andrew Marr interview from start to finish. I am not an anti Blair or anti anyone...but when you've made a mistake...screwed up a bit (or in a major way) put your hands up say I made a mistake and I have to live with it. If he did that he would get a lot more respect than he realises. Ryan
I totally agree with you Scootek, it takes guts to admit when you're wrong and when you've mad a mistake, being unable to do so loses my respect for him and others like him, many people on his side. I4Visual
Steve I'll pay half if you wanna share the Blair chronicles. Like you, I think it'll make good reading, probably mostly fiction but what else can politicians write? Blair was a hero for me at first, after the long years of Tory drear, the criminalization of coal miners fighting for their existence, the strutting Thatcher spearheading (Brunhilda like) the British Armada into bloodbaths and wasted lives way too far down south in the Falklands fiasco. He was an inspiration and he's not lost that knack either, he can smooth talk and convince like the best of them but anyone who's hopped into bed with the world's supremo dullard George Dubbya, been right royally shafted like a purty piggy (!) and failed to acknowledge his crass idiocy or long time role as unpaid harlet is forever unforgiven in my book. He has crude oil and children's blood on his sticky fingers. Brown was a disaster as PM, had the charisma of an ironing board and gave away the election but I do believe he is a basically honourable if sociopathic oddity. p-s . there's another female horror story character.... Cheri Blair, with lips like mating slugs embraced in the moment of carnal release, a figure like a bucket of tripe, quivering towards you as you scream and yet .... cannot move! Could go on all night but nuff's enuff. George Dubbaya........ jeeeezus what the .......................  Shotan
