Tony Blair to Teach at Yale Uni
 
http://www.yale.edu/opa/newsr/08-03-07-02.all.html

I thought they were supposed to be one of the better uni's in the US? On another note, what's this "Tony Blair Faith Foundation "?

I don't know, but I never had any faith in him.

On the BBC now: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7284494.stm looks as though he'll be teaching faith. I really wouldn't have thought he's the best person for the job with his track record, mis-information on the reasons for the Iraq war, not converting to the Catholic Church until after he left office even though he secretly was 'Catholic'

and I was soooo hoping he'd go into coaching the English cricket team's bowlers the art of spinning :D

Bah! This is the person who allowed us to be landed with unqualified cover staff in schools and to do away with the grants system.I'd like to know if he's passed any teaching exams at all?:mad:

As it seems that Tony may well have mastered the art of balancing jelly on the end of a spoon he may well be in line for an honourary (honorary your honour) phd.

Enough of that, or I'll have to get a 15 year old to shank u up :nono: ;)



Oh, OK... back to the rather strange news of Bliar "teaching" & having a "Faith Foundation"...

Yet more $$$$$ for Teflon Tony... he really is raking it in now he's no longer PM...


I find his appointment to this position at Yale really rather odd...

I always knew I had chosen the wrong career. Should have gone into politics, taken a huge wage with even higher expenses, exempt from so many taxes that everyone else has to pay, gold plated pension, then either head off to Europe on even higer wages, and higher expenses for even less work, or if you've made a name for yourself, follow Blair's footsteps.

Politics is definately no longer to serve the people you represent, but to line you own pockets. But, as mentioned earlier, at least he's not here!! Does raise an interesting question though, what's he paying in taxes, wonder how many loopholes he's found.
