I think the term "Bliar" came to be used as a term of derision since it accurately reflected Blair as one in office who lied both to his fellow Parliamentarians and to the British public.

Pity really that the code of conduct for MPs is so weak and ambiguous that he could not have been impeached in the same way that Richard Nixon was in the United States.

In a sense, its repeated usage is like the childish name-calling one hears in the school playground but if we replaced the word Bliar with the word "traitor" it becomes a whole lot more serious.

Tony Blair has betrayed a lot of people some of whom have died to be part of his legacy.He's betrayed the young by lowering standards in education but pretended that standards have improved. He's betrayed the working man or woman in the street by permitting the rising of taxes and raids on their pension funds. He's allowed Europe to have a stronger grip on life in Britain and sold off our democracy. He is beneath contempt.

Let's hope that Gordon Brown is more honest, transparent and has the integrity and common sense to do a good job for the people of Britain without lining his own pockets in the process.
