Because you always expect children to ask the same questions that professional journalists ask, infact the only reason professional journalists exist is because children have to go to school.
Why don't you travel to London and ask him yourself anyways, he has a regular programme called prime ministers question time where he takes questions from numerous members of the public.

Turkey Twizzlers? Sounds crappy, just like British humor, beer, women, teeth, economy, prime minister - am i missing anything else?

Whoa, my internal spellchecker is going crazy over this post. I'm sure Tony will overlook elementary spelling errors when considering the "big picture," though, so fair play to you.

/Yeah, I know, Bush can't read or write. I'd like to see the opposition do a little better, actually. Blair used several words in one address to Congress that probably 99% of the US couldn't understand.

Never seen the turkey flavor before...

Too bad the little dudes didnt ask him why Iraqi children getting killed is reffered to as "colateral damage"

Too bad the little dudes didn't ask him why smartasses on teh internets didn't give a single momentary flying fark over the decades in which Iraqi children being imprisoned by the thousands under Saddam's regime, or about the hundreds of thousands of men, women and children murdered and maimed under him, or those who would have perished under a likely even more brutal regime run by his sons.

But I guess that's more of a rhetorical question, isn't it.

Blair has an easy charm. Particularly humble in dealing with disrespectful, 10-yr old tykes with unwarranted fame.

/lame first respondent- "Those 10 yr olds are complicit with the rt-wingers for not asking about deaths of Iraqi children..." - they're 10 years old. Should they be inquiring about the UK's participation in the Euro and delve into monetary policy as well? The world's problems lay at the feet of those irresponsible 10 year old journalists!!

In the light of yesterday's punch up between Bowyer and Dyer, it's ironic that B-liar said that Prescott has a mean right hook then presented the kids with Newcastle tops.

/lame first respondent- "Those 10 yr olds are complicit with the rt-wingers for not asking about deaths of Iraqi children..."

I think everyone (except the hopelessly retarded) took that as a joke.

British Humor is subjective, but widely acclaimed, the Office, Red Dwarf, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers..

Beer, we've been doing this a little longer than you boys, I'd say we have it down.

Teeth, yawn, what an old joke.

Economy! Wow, I've been waiting for this one, if you mean our economy is crappy because it costs you close to two dollars for every pound. Or do you mean crappy because your economy relies on us Brit's visiting Disney and buying Nike to keep itself out of the toliet? Face it, the Dollar is fark'd long live the Queen.

You missed the weather. Weather is crappy.

Actually, this is covered under the aegis of "America supporting murderous regimes," with the de rigeur supporting blurry photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam. But you're right -- the US is damned if we do, damned if we don't.

The only reason we have to constantly "lead" the world all the time is because we got stuck with the role after nearly every other power busted itself in idiotic multi-million-killing nationalistic delusions in the 1940s. The UN is obviously a totally unfeasible organization for solving anything -- one house with equal votes for every member? Didn't we try that in the US around 1780 and dump it promptly thereafter, back when Rhode Island could stymie New York or any other state? As it is, the majority of (Muslim-proposed) UN resolutions have to do with Israel and the oh-so-horrible oppression of Palestinians in a country the size of New Jersey. May be true, but get yourself a globe. Israel is so small, it needs an arrow to indicate its location. Point nearly anywhere else, and way worse shiat is going down. On the UN watch, by the way.

What, exactly, does the UN do? I've never been real clear on this.

You're right. It was really idiotic for Britain to defend itself during WWII. They should have just sat back and let Hitler invade.

Oh fer chrissakes!

The UN has a smaller budget than that spent on political advertising at the last election, and to hear you tards badmouth them for not being able to fix every problem in the world shiats me to tears. What the fark do you expect from them, miracles?

UN peacekeepers, medical/aid/relief programs have still done more good than I can begin to educate you on. Read up on how many hundreds of millions of lives have been saved by UN-run vaccination programs before you criticize them, asshole.

Don't be an asshat. Britain (and Australia, Canada, etc.) took the brunt of the idiocy I just mentioned. Do I have to detail every country or can we just use a little common sense here?

it's funny how Blair is pictured holding the two children and the caption says "That's the trouble, you like the things that are bad for you"

Gunther:

Thank you for your constructive response. I will disregard your "asshole" insult, since I presume you are new to discussion forums, and by your feverish enthusiasm, probably between 15 and 19 years old, and we were all that age once.

Ever read "Emergency Sex"? The title is provocative, but the book is actually written by UN workers who went out with a vision something like yours and ended up shrugging and weeping over the failure of the organization.

As for the UN medical/aid/relief programs, I totally agree. I just don't get where the whole "peacekeeper" thing comes in, given the news recently. No peace kept, rapists and child abusers running rampant, nepotism, bribery ... it's not really an organization I'd ask into my neighborhood.

Though I've only seen a few clips.

I think you know your country is in danger of being invaded by the US when they suddenly cut off your billions of dollars of annual aid. I think Egypt alone gets about 2 or 3 billion dollars a year. Am I wrong? And in return, we get ...? I know we sunk hopeless billions into the former Soviet Union, and God knows how many billions we sent to the "poor" Palestinians over the decades, that went right into Arafat's pocket. You want US money? Have at it!

/Not saying we do everything right, but something worth considering. Check the stats.

Might I just come back to say that I was indeed seriously blaming those 10 year olds for not having any journalistic integrity, and again also infer that they are in part responsible for the deaths of many Iraqi children.

In fact I also blame them for the Holocaust, Global warming and Ashlee Simpson. They are monsters.

Including you...

"Can you make sure you answer ours today, please - we've spent a long time writing them."

Blair has now become the poster boy for slimeball politicians everywhere.

All vestages of any decency he had when he first joined the Labour party have long since gone.

It's all about maintaining power, pitty he can't seen that his stubborness to step down may cost his party power, but he refuses to pass the position on to Gordon Brown.

Well, his power struggle could hand power back to the Cons.....Michael Howard Prime Minister...... shudder.

Ahh, sarcasm. condesending sarcasm at that; makes me feel all warm inside. Anyhoo, you seem to have missed my point; you seem to think the UN has failed because it hasn't been very effective at keeping world peace. I think that the idea that an organisation that has an annual budget less than a tenth of what the US spends on pet foods could possibly end all earthly suffering and violence in a mere fifty or so years is, to put it mildly, completely farking batshiat insane.

Why would you send 10-year olds to interview the prime minister, let alone the ones too dense to grasp the concept of inflation?

Because this is the pre-election silly season. The spindoctors see events like this as a way of showing their man as being "closer to the people" and game for a laugh.

More often than not it backfires.

As for little Ant and Dec, don't worry. Their larger versions probably don't understand as well..... Vacuous entertainment whores that they are.

Gordon Brown, texture like sun....

Could this crap be any worse for you? And it would be even MORE fattening without the aspartame!

Hey yeah, Jamie Oliver says there's too much fat in it, so let's use chlorinated sugar in it. I'm sure that will make it much healthier.

Apparently they are really skilled at raping women in Africa.

Actually, you're thinking of Question Time, where ministers and other worthies take questions from the public - not the Prime Minister.

At Prime Minister's Question Time, the PM takes questions from his fellow politicians. Occasionally you get a good bit of debate, but mostly it's just mudslinging and arselicking.

English - American Translation

1) Little Ant'n'Dec are two small children that are supposed to look like two geordies who present the main show which they are on called 'Ant n Dec's Saturday night takeaway

2) Tony Blair, is supposedly our primeminister however should you come over from the states to catch him on the offchance at number 10, he will more than likely be out of the country on holiday, or hiding from the latest damning headline in the british media

3) The Turkey Twizzler, is the point of concern about meals for children in UK state schools, where each child is alloted 35p per head per lunch and isn't enough to provide a nutritionally balanced meal..which some may say is cause for concern, but then the PM stated he would increase that to 50p or 60p in the case of secondary school children..yet this will probably fail to materialise due to the fact the whole thing is being organised by a quango, and the money is coming from money already in the educational system

Let me get this right, because Saddam killed and maimed Iraqi children in the past, that gives us the right to do the same now? Now i understand. We should never try and rise above those that we deem evil - just do the same as them but with bigger guns!

So crimes that have never happened are far greater evils than the documented killing of thousands of innocents by Blair and his masters in Washington? Thats an interesting moral stance. Psychotic.. insane perhaps, but definately interesting.

Are Saddam and his sons such a great couple of guys that you have to make up stuff about them because they arent evil enough already? Maybe you should start insinuating that hes with the terrorists and that he hates America too? Because otherwise they might start winning Man of the Year awards and Nobel Peace prizes given that they are such a great family of compassionate humanitarians.

Surely he's got better things to be doing, rather than appearing on a Saturday evening light entertainment show. Oh wait, its an election year over here, he's trying to do the "man of the people" thing.
