At last having waited for what seems years, the day has finally come and Bliar has formally announced when he's going. That gives me two significant calendar dates in the coming months - 27 June for Bliar's departure and 1 July no more smoking whenever i eat out - hooray!
I think the aspect that i found harder and harder to bear with Bliar was the religious zealotry. His view that if he sincerely believed something to be right then that was all that mattered, the rest of us were supposed to fall in line and accept his decision, became harder and harder to take.
He also has an unfortunate smirk which makes it seem as though he's saying i've 'screwed you lot again and you are too dumb to notice'! That smirk mixed with the unfortunate smile of Cherie make them appear to be two of the most insincere people in public life that i can think of.
As for Brown, according to people i have known in the Treasury over recent years, he is archetypal 'dour management man' intolerant of those who don't agree with him and very dismissive of those who are not in his very tight and closed team of associates. Will he be able to appear to have any humanity and be able to communicate effectively remains to be seen.
He will find himself faced by Bliar 2, otherwise known as Eton Boy/Cameron.
