WHAT is Tony Blair thinking of? First of all last year, 700 hours of parliamentary time was wasted on the Hunting bill which he abstained from when the vote was taken.

After that, he swans off to Greece and signs a constitution without our consent.

We then had the Boscastle flood disaster last August, followed by the floods in Cumbria and Carlisle.

Why did he not go and visit these disaster areas - and how much financial help has been pledged or given to these two disasters so far from the Government?

As far as I can make out not very much.The Duke of Cornwall has been to Boscastle twice and given two lots of financial help so far.

Some £75m was pledged to the Asian earthquake. That's all right as far as it goes, but should we not put our own house in order first?

We then hear this week at Prime Minister's question time that Blair sent a sympathy letter to Ozzie Osbourne when this house was burgled - but he can't find time to visit our soldiers injured in Iraq, or write to the relations who have lost loved ones there.
