Yes indeed, FC. Cool

But when you put it into context, only 100-odd British soldiers have been killed in Iraq (the IRA killed a lot more invading troops, and nobody ever said NI was an "unjust war").
Compared to Harold "We've never had it so good" Macmillan/Wilson and Maggie "Let them eat cake" Thatcher, Blair is the best PM Britain has had since that old warmonger Winston Churchill himself - and he was voted the greatest Brit ever. I think Tone will be seen in a much better light 50 years from now. Laughing

Thanks, Sammy!

Mark my words, FC, I've suffered through more Prime Ministers than you could shake a hurley stick at, but Blair is the best in my lifetime. John Smith would have been the best ever, but God must know what He's doing. if HE doesn't, we're all banjaxed. Cool

The reviewer would appreciate your comments on: Shut Up!

Just goes to prove the old (military) adage 'Alway's sleep with one eye open' is a very astute observation. Time may tell, but that is of no relief to those (on all sides, of all persuasions) who suffer today!

Very thought-provoking FireCat - and very apt. Well constructed - it's hard to say so much in so few words

Dakota!
Thank you for that,
And it's good to hear from you again!

Like this, it appeals to me.
Never mind, we would be better off with a real Labour Party instead of two Tory Parties and the sleeping Libs.
Good poem.
Good intentions may be clouded by poor judgement.Does he think that deep?

Hi,

Perhaps this isn’t the forum for political debate.

But poetry is surely a perfect medium to express political sentiments - and in this one you encapsulate this sentiment wonderfully well.

Regards,

Thoth.
