Default Tony Blair no show at Robin Cook's funeral.
Anyone else APPAULED by this?

If you get a chance watch Robin Cook's resignation address.

Makes you realise how great a public speaker he was along with being a Politician with Integrity.... something few politicians truely have.

Aye it was ridiculous, ol' toneh not being there.

However i also think it was inappropriate for John McCririck to point that out and start a personal attack on him, at someone elses funeral. Shoulda saved it for later.

I'm sure he avoided it out of respect for the man.

Don't look too deeply into it.

McCririck's an arsehole anyway. A funeral is not the place for making such proclamations.

Blair is a despicable leader, and the sooner he fucks off, the better.

He's on holiday. Give the man a break, he needs some rest.

He's already said he will attend a memorial service for Robin Cook later in the year.

I am, I think it's terrible he didn't show, holiday or not (goes to show he (bliar, and I meant that) didn't actaully rate him as a person) If he did, he would have gone.

as for watching his resignation speech, watched that the first time round.
it was voted "best parliament moment of 2003" on "tonight"...spectacular loss to politics
