Blair Welcomed To "Club Of Retired Presidents"
Whilst on his farewell tour of the world, Tony Blair met Nelson Mandela, who welcomed him to the “club of retired presidents“. Yet he meets neither requirement. Blair is neither yet an ex-leader and has never been a president in the first place - however much he ran his Cabinet and his government like he was. He may be eligible to join the club of ex-world leaders from 27 June, but not that of presidents, how much he may have wished to have been one.
We have the Queen as our Head of State, not a politician. And that is certainly a good thing. If Blair had been President instead of Prime Minister, I shudder to think what could have happened to the country in the last decade.
Until 27 June (26 days away still), Tony Blair is officially the Prime Minister of Britain. He really shouldn’t be doing a farewell tour at all yet but, if he won’t let Brown take over officially, he should be running the country whilst Gordo and the deputy leader contenders tour the country. Especially since Prescott has also swanned off to top up his tan, who on earth is running the country?!
