Tony Blair waited till he was re-elected and awarded himself and his cohorts a massive pay rise. For what?

He really hasn't done enough to deserve such a huge amount of money - I gather he and his 'friends' knew about this long before the election.

He certainly knew how to put on the charm to woo the voters... all smiles, family photos and promises of a land of milk and honey. How sneaky - and the longer he and New Labour are in power, the longer they will be feathering their own nests.
