Obviously he implemented some good policies but he was completely and utterly wrong with regard to Iraq and there are no excuses because plenty of advisors with brains made it perfectly clear what the outcome would be and it is to his great discredit that he did not listen - I would not wish to have the deaths of both innocent Iraqis and British military personnel on my conscience.

I find it particularly distasteful that a profitable lecture circuit beckons for the Blairs bearing in mind that much of his 'clebrity' status will be based on events in Iraq.

Finally, his failure to prevent the leisure park mentality that now prevails in the Labour Party with regard to agriculture and the British Countryside.
