Smell the coffee!

The BBC have your say section has a clever aspect whereby instead of looking at comments in date order, you can view in most popular order as voted by readers. Here are the top comments. Not exactly a crowd screaming for an encore left begging for one last tune that he just wont give is it?

When the day finally arrives, will it be a Public Holiday? I'm sure there's millions waiting to celebrate.

I’m sure he’ll spend his remaining days in office the same way he’s spent most of them, fighting against reality to maintain personal delusions of grandeur.As for his ‘farewell tour’ if he wants to be greeted by a jubilant and grateful seeming nation than the labour spin doctors better have ‘rent-a-crowd’ ready wherever he goes, and clear out the real people before his arrival. Imagine what it would do to his poor little ego if he had to face up to what we really think of him.

Some of the goverments achievments:1. An NHS that will not even xray a broken arm. - Personal Experience2. School leavers with a's and b's in maths and english that cannot do basic maths or spell. - Personal Experience.3. Household bill's that are out of control. eg. Energy Inflation that is well about the 3.5% inflation. Council tax well above 3.5% inflation.4. Personal household debt at record highs.5. Forms and documents from government departments you have to be a lawyer to understand.A shame they restrict you to 700 letters. I could go on all day.While no goverment is perfect I would just like one that actaully produces results and not spin

I no longer care when Bliar goes, just that he does and takes the rest of his party with him. Gordon "Stealth Tax" Brown is so totally arrogant to believe that he should be PM, especially as he has done so much to bring his "boss" down and wrecked so much of this country himself.Get lost Bliar, get lost Brown, get lost Prescott, get lost Labour. We need a general election as soon as possible.

His final month will be no different from the last 120, full off deception, empty promises, tough talk and no action. He should indeed go on a farewell tour and take full note of the damage and despair that he and his lame duck shambles of a government have inflicted on this country. Goodbye and good ridance cannot come soon enough.

Hopefully as uncomfortable as the past year has been for the 75%+ of us who did not vote Labour in the '05 election.

He led us into a war in Iraq on the weakest of evidence and then effectively said the end justifies the means. He said before being elected he did not want to live in a country where old people had to sell their homes to pay for nursing homes - now become the norm. He attempts to jump on every bandwagon going to seek to increase his own popularity. He said they would not introduce university fees - and they have. He said they would be cleaner than clean - and the excesses of his former ministers and present deputy demonstrate this is not true.

Quite frankly does anyone care what Tony Blair will do next? We don't believe a word he says so it doesn't really matter what he does - as long as his departure is soon!
