Can Tony Blair count?

The story going round about 'what Gordon told Tony'  about the 10p tax rate beggars belief. We are asked to believe that Gordon, quizzed by Tony, said only 25,000 people would be affected in advance of delivering the Budget speech last year.

To which the only real response is: why on earth did Tony Blair believe him? 25,000 people? Really? Just how bad is the former prime minister's mental arithmetic?

Hello. And Bye.

This Is The sadest thing I have ever witnessed, from the huge procession to the millions of fans effected by his music, his life and his tragic death.

No matter who you are, and where you live, what you do for a living,

no matter how much you like or dislike him, one thing you can say is he has touched everyones lives. somehow in someway. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE has been touched by his music, one way or another.

The music he created had an impact on the world that we will never understand. MJ influinced so many artist, entertainers and ordinary people to grow, change and succeed.

The memory of Michael Jackson's life will live on forever! I'm hoping in his memory there will be more peace and prosparity in the future.

Below is my own personal tribute sites to MJ, it will open shortly after his memorial and I hope to offer other a place to share memoirs.
