MR J SMITH (Letters, April 17) accuses me of praising Tony Blair (Letters, April 13). I would ask him to read it again as I said all Prime Ministers make mistakes, including Tony Blair.

I then continued with simple facts of what was done during the Blair years. Mr Smith agreed he was benefiting from what was done during those years, so what is his criticism?
