		<description>Yes, it seems strange to me that people got so excited over Blair&#039;s election. Naturally they wanted the old lot out, but did they really imagine he&#039;d be any good?

I was too young at the time to have any views :) But I think now we have learnt not to get overexcited, which is why there is little enthusiasm for Camoron.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;2703&#039;,&#039;asquith&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt;   -  &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;2703&#039;,&#039;asquith&#039;,&#039;Yes, it seems strange to me that people got so excited over Blair\&#039;s election.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;It will be like 1997&lt;/i&gt;

And just like in 1997, your hopes will be quickly and brutally dashed on the rocks as the heir to Blair continues merrily down the one-world neo-liberal, neo-conservative, neo-whatever agenda.

But aye, it&#039;ll be good to see these bastards vanquished.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;2702&#039;,&#039;Antipholus Papps&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt;   -  &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;2702&#039;,&#039;Antipholus Papps&#039;,&#039;&lt;i&gt;It will be like 1997&lt;\/i&gt;\n\nAnd just like in 1997, your hopes will be quickly and brutally dashed on the rocks as the heir to Blair continues merrily down the one-world neo-liberal, neo-conservative, neo-whatever agenda.\n\nBut aye, it\&#039;ll be good to see these bastards vanquished.&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Quote this comment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

		<description>I think Bill&#039;s suggestion is a good one.  For all those who share Asquith and Bahtat&#039;s contempt for Vaz and politicians in general, it would be very sensible for Gordon Brown to confirm that Vaz will never be given a knighthood or a similar honour under a Labour government.
