    Bower decided to follow the idea that the debate is about the merits or lack thereof of Tony Blair, while Aronovich decided to debate the merits of Tom Bower.

    David gives me the impression that even as a child he was always angry about something and was convinced that his opinions are the rights ones and bullied anyone who disagreed.

    Isn't it interesting that Tom simply recalls fact, answers questions and responds completely from memory, whereas Aeronovitch is desperately scrabbling about with various dog eared notes like some 45 year old sixth former

    1646. No they were not fooled - Blair was a hero to politicians, because his success at lying was a lesson to them all. Liars worship good liars, though why any ordinary person couldn't see through Blair from the first time they saw his eyes and postures and whining voice remains a mystery to me.

    Blair’s appointment after John Smith gave us hope for fairness for all . Unfortunately he failed , and turned into an arrogant , self serving egoist .now has a name of Bliar , for indeed that’s what he turned into ,So sad he let us all down .God forgive him

    After 1 hour and 9 minutes, finally someone mentioned the Dr David Kelley business. It was hardly discussed. Would anyone like to add to this? I personally find it astonishing that this matter was almost completely ignored.

      We didn’t need the GFA the Security Forces had got the IRA at the table agreeing a full unconditional surrender. Then Blair got in and wanted to overturn anything good done by the conservatives to get his own name in lights so he introduced the GFA which included releasing over 200 IRA murderers back on the streets of Ireland. The numbers of dead from the troubles tells the whole story. Approximately 3600 dead, 360 security forces, 1100 Protestant Irish, 2400 Catholic Irish. So to Nationalise Ireland the IRA murdered about 3,300 of its own people… who paid the real price?
