Tony Blair to announce resignation plans within the next hour

[Greeby]

Keeping my eye on the TV news.

S'pose it's too much to hope he'll say "I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow" :evilgrin:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

1. especially since he is not a president.

I do believe they still call them ministers in merry olde England, with Blair owning the Prime number.

[Greeby]

3. Officially he's not a President

Hasn't stopped him acting like one the last 9 years

[intaglio]

4. No, Greeby got it right

He WISHES he were president - not just the guy who lead the Labour Party at the time they took over Parliament. Trouble for him is he is Prime Minister and can be thrown out when his party has finished with him. Do you reckon the Repubs would like the same?

edit to add ... as of 1.30pm BST(12.30 GMT) no news. (BBC or Google)

9. I take it you don't recognize the quote? n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. was that Trickie Dickie's last statement? It smelled familiar.

but I have not had my cuppa yet this AM.

creaky neurons, and all, you know?

[nuxvomica]

2. He probably will leave No.10 at noon

Y'know, "mad dogs" and all that. :D

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. in time for tea and crumpets, and to sign a contract with Faux gnus.

Imagine his mug on US tv every day.

[nuxvomica]

11. We know were he's going

Seriously, he's had a job waiting at the Carlisle Group since the get-go.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. duh. of COURSE!

Where's that icon of palm slapping one's own head when you really need it?

[YDogg]

5. Should help boost bush's image. NOT

[izzie]

6. To bad he went with Bush. I knew this would happen.

Bush takes every one down. Mess around in the garage and you will also smell.

[bdamomma]

12. or if you lay down with dogs you get fleas!!!!!!!!

[izzie]

18. I must be getting old as I could not think of that wording.

It is the one I should have used. Glad you got my point.

[malaise]

7. I'm watching BBC since morning

waiting and hoping.

[sendero]

13. It'll be...

.. "I'll resign in a year" type of thing. He shouldn't get another year, not even another day.

[darkmaestro019]

14. Take Georgie with you. Good riddance, bad rubbish.

There's really nice real estate cheap somewhere called Three Mile Island.

[Nimrod2005]

15. Brilliant........as they say.

The sooner the better.

[Greeby]

16. Typical sycophantic weaseling speech from Broon just now

Honestly, Gordon, if you don't want to be Prime Minister bad enough to fight for it, what use are you?
