He talked about everything and nothing really. He arrived with a new wave of optimism and disappeared without a bat of an eyelid (mainly due to the UK's adoration New Labour as they swept into Downing Street).
Alright kind of bloke in truth, could've fulfilled any other job in Government at the time to a high standard except that of Prime Minister!

Things of note during his lengthy, but seemingly brief 6 and a half years as PM:
Signed Maastricht, and...
lost election to Labour in landslide.
Thats about it really!

A school which completely and utterly saved me from the horrors of South East London's education system.
The community feeling is like nothing I've ever known; sometimes I feel that the pupils there don't appreciate it as much as they could do - they should try my old school, then they'd realise how bloody lucky they are!
Place where I reached the limits of my academic potential, which is more than I can say for my past experiences.

Comparisons to my old school :
St Joseph's - acres of space to play competitive sports. Old school - a small park to run around the outside of (which was across a busy road).
St Joseph's - teachers who can speak English to a high standard. Old school - Among others, a black Nigerian teacher who's own name could'nt be disyphered by her class let alone the Science lesson!
St.Joseph's - pupils who hold doors open for each other and had have good general discipline in comparison to other places. Old school - ok...I saw a black year 10 kid get arrested in the school canteen for whacking a boy from another school over the head with a hammer at a bus stop; need I say more?

The more sinsister offspring of the legendary yuppie of 1980s Britain.
Their primary directive at birth is to leave the leafy surburbs of decently sized urban areas where they reside with there retiring and massively wealthy parents and moved inwards to gentrify all they lay before them. Notting Hill and the Docklands of London a perfect example.
Now with regular accents as opposed to the Home Counties twang of the generation that came before them.

1. Became known by its current style in 1993, when Maastricht was signed and the keys to the UK and frankly everywhere else in Europe were handed over to new management in Brussels.
What started out as an innocent economic adventure, through the 1980s, slowly turned into a nightmare political descent as it became apparent that - lets be crude and frank - France and Germany did want a union in which they couldn't and didn't have DIRECT control over.
2. More recently things have become more serious and sinister with firstly the Treaty of Nice and now the blueprint for a country called Europe with its own constitution.
Frankly the United Kingdom, should go a step further and vote on membership not a pathetic federalist vision of a constitution for a whole continent of countless races, languages and cultures that simply don't and won't ever fully integrate.
Home rule for Britain - God Save our Head of State, the Queen!

Some are born to live feeling like this and others aren't its as simple as that.
I am one who gets *fucked off* quite easily and regularly when watching the news or adverts (commercials to Americans) {why am I telling Americans the translation when they're too ignorant to do it for us!}
ANYWAY...
Fucked off is also a good phrase to shout like fuck off or shit!

I'm going to stand up for a mammoth and historic institution which is the one and only pillar of the United KINGDOM.
Without them, our country would be nothing but a pathetic and drone-like Republic like most of the rest of the worlds frankly boring and lacklustre nations.
Britian has something fantasticly different to be celebrated and yet again we have numbskulls kicking them down with cliche sentences about incest which quite honestly and brutally was not uncommon in the UK before the 19th century.
They are not perfect and neither would a "President" of Britain's family be if they were instated, and they're a damn sight cheaper than most would ever conceive them to be.
We like to think we want a republic because the grass is always greener on the other side, but as a nation we are still obsessed with the royals; they sell papers like nothing else, we watch their funerals and weddings in unprecedented numbers and they give us something to moan about when life is too cosy to be content with ourselves.
