I don't recall Major jetting off around the globe feathering his nest and buying up property to quite the same extent the Bliar has been but what do you expect from champagne socialists eh... That's what's upsetting a lot of people. A multi-millionaire so called 'socialist' who claims to be in touch with the ordinary man and care about poverty who can easily afford to pay for his own business trip security but doesn't. You'd expect this sort of thing from dodgy bankers and FIFA officials not a self appointed working class hero. There's a word which sums it up - hypocrisy and it applies here just as much as it did to certain sleazy Tories who, prior to 1997, were preaching morals to the rest of us whilst behaving in the most appalling manner.

If Blair was a socialist I'd have voted for him, he is the template for modern day politicians, no conviction, no belief in their parties principals just a race to the centre ground to appeal to as many as possible as the least worst option
