[pedant]He was not declared Prime Minster until May 2nd 2007[/pedant]

But I remember that morning really well; a bright day of hope; as if a horrible big cloud had shifted after years of pissing on us..

Things were never going be that different though really, and Blair admitted as much in his acceptance speech as I recall…

But he’s done some good things as well as bad; modern politicians are never black and white, good and evil; its always shades of grey and compromises: this is what his “third way” was really about. In some respects, at least the Irag war debacle will give him something to be remembered by; what the fuck else is there?

Can’t help feeling for sorry for Gordon Brown (texture like sun), though. Clearly a more gifted politician than Blair, and impeccable handling of the economy for a decade and he gets the top job at the same time his country votes for independence .. you couldn’t make it up

Back to Blair though Matt, you're right, that night in May 1997 was amazing. It really did seem like EVERYONE was deliriously happy. Like winning the World Cup. A far cry from the feeling 5 years earlier when all those built up hopes were dashed. The equivalent of yet another penalty shoot out ending with some lummox hoofing the ball into row Z (not that I'm calling Kinnock a lummox).
