The most sickening Blair moment for me was when he did the little red-nose-day comedy skit with Cathrine Tate and she asked him about there being no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and he replied " Am I bothered? "

That was in such bad taste considering the loss of life in Iraq among British service personel. Blairs cheap little joke was disgusting but reflected the man perfectly.

I actually found that sketch quite amusing. Sometimes you shouldn't delve into deeper meanings and simply take things at face value.

There have been many bad moments for Blair but one of my least favourites was the 'cash for honours'. I can't exactly state why but he fell a little out of my favour when his and Bushes microphones were left on. Are we including Cherie Blair here too? Nobody annoys me more than that woman.

And how could I forget? "Education, education, education."

The "God will be my judge" moment. The silly little pipsqueak overlooked the fact that he's answerable to the people not God.

His "I did what I believed to be right" piece of self-justification.

You are a Civil *SERVANT* Blair! You are supposed to do what the *people* want, not do what you want and then tell the people that you're right for doing it.

Arrogant hypocrite.

The most sickening moment for me was the day planning permission was granted,last month, for 10 wind turbines each 110 metres high at Butterwick, next to 7 also 110metres ‘consented’at Walkway, in Blair’s constituency,

The reason I found it so nauseating, was the hidden subsidy ROCs (about £111 million.) over the lifetime of the turbines that the Operators would receive and we the consumers pay for; coupled with the effect on the quality of life of those living nearby.

Wind Prospect will build the first 7 turbines whilst the other 10 will be built by E.ON UK, a subsidiary of the German E.ON and responsible for major assaults on British landscape for the sake of a "piddling amount" (Sir Martin Holdgate) of very wobbly electricity which E.ON's own windpower reports admit needs about 80% to 90% backup by conventional generation.
An interesting fact is that a subsidiary of E.ON Energie, E.ON Kernkraft has stakes in a total of twelve reactors in Germany (Bavaria, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein). The company produces nearly half of Germany's nuclear power"
32% (about one third) of all German electricity is produced from nuclear. About 5% comes from windpower despite the country's gigantic and increasingly controversial wind carpet

It was the CE of E.ON.UK, Paul Golby, who said "Without the renewable obligation certificates nobody would be building wind farms." Daily Telegraph 26/03/2005.
