Why not ask him a very simple question that's incredibly sneaky as well such as:

"Mr. Blair, how many more monthly press conferences do you intend to give and do you hope that whoever follows you will keep the tradition up?"

I'd ask about Dannatt's remarks, picking particular things he said and asking whether he agrees with them, rather than allowing him to define what Dannatt said.

E.g. Does he agree our presence in Iraq exacerbates the situation there?

And if he agrees we should "get ourselves out sometime soon" how does he define soon?

Or ask him whether he thinks David Blunkett was right to suggest machine gunning prisoners.

With the continuing pressure on housing, health, education, transport, etc:, and severe difficulties with his dream of 'multiculteralism', you could ask - "Does he still believe that there should be no upper limit in immigration?.

You could ask if Mr Blair knew anything about Mr Blunketts plans, such as:

Whilst David Blunkett was running the education system, did he threaten to shoot unrulely school children, or whilst in charge of welfare did he threaten to mow-down benefit cheats?

Nick - I don't have a specific idea but can you please ask something totally off the wall.

I've watched a number of these press conferences and find that each reporter asks questions that the PM and his staff can clearly predict and prepare answers for. It also seems as though the question that a TV journalist chooses to ask is purely designed to form the basis his/her report for the evening news.

As you at the 大象传媒 don't have to compete for ratings (or at least I believe that you shouldn't - that's why we pay our license fee) please use the opportunity to ask a question that the PM would not even imagine you would be asked ... then he might be put on the back foot and give a real answer.

How about what it feels like to be the most successful and longest serving Labour prime minister in history, and, apart from having to deal with people like you; whether he has enjoyed his time in office?

Whatever you ask him, just stand him by a wind farm. The least he can do is make up for his Carbon Dioxide emissions.

Could you ask him to stay on as PM so he can experience the electoral defeat he has done so much to achieve ?

Could you ask Mr Blair whether in light of the recently published estimate of 650,000 excess deaths in Iraq since the 2003 invasion he would agree with the Nuremberg charter; that instigating a war of agression is "the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole"?

Ask him the true numbers of British casualties in Afghaninstan and Iraq. Lord Drayson's statement in the Lords last week that there were only 50 members of the military for any reason in hospital as in-patients at any one time smells big time!

With a lame duck Prime Minister, a lame duck Deputy Prime Minister, a discredited Chancellor, a weak Foreign Secretary, a shambolic Home Office, and New Labour at war with Old Labour, when will the entire government resign to save its last shred of honour and decency? Or is it too late for that and time for the Queen to dissolve parliament anyway?

Actually, on a more serious note, how about:

"Were any bombs which were dropped on Lebanon transported there from UK military or civilian airfields, and, if so, will British taxpayers receive a rebate for the aid budget spent there as a result ?"

Nick, your claim that, "for the first time", the Prime Minister did not participate in any interviews at the Labour Party conference would be more shocking if it were actually true. He was interviewed on Sunday AM by your colleague Andrew Marr at the very start of the conference.

Mr Blair.

Will you now seek to defuse two of your problems by placing General Dannatt in charge of the NHS?

Mr Blair, why are you still here?

"Mr Blair, bearing in mind what we now know about the standard of pre-war WMD intelligence, and the effects on global terrorism of our occupation of Iraq, what would you say to yourself if you could send one message back in time to a month before the invasion?"

Ask him about the front page of the Guardain which covers the story of conrol orders failing and suspects escaping.

He might argue that the police and security services should have been allowed to go further. However, it is incredible that suspects under such intense surveillance should escape.

It looks like you've an incredibly wide choice this month...so don't just bang on about lame ducks - it's a dull question now, only talked about by dull people.

It must be a bit dispiriting for you sweating over questions that you know you aren't going to get a meaningful answer to. But since you have to go through the motions, I would ask him for his views on the Moslem veil issue - not about the question itself but on how he feels the debate is being conducted. Why can't people have a sensible discussion on these sorts of topics without a torrent of accusations of racism? If anything is going to drive a wedge between the two communities it's that. If there's one thing that gets right up the nose of the British people its intolerant fanaticism.

Why don't you ask him how on earth he believes he can still make decisions for the medium or long term when he;s not going to be in charge in a few months time.
The Queens speech is going to be a farce as he wont be in charge of the govenment responsible for pushing through the agenda.

Maybe you should also suggest he should have gone at Labours party conference while he "left people wanting more", as his aides so clearly hoped would be the case in the leaked plan for his farewell tour.

Nick,

You could ask him how he intends to lead the Labour Party into a victorious General Election, defeating a hollow tree Conservative party and the less-than-vigorated Liberal Democrats.

Nick

I suggest that you ask him if he's flattered or flustered that David Cameron's Tories appear to be stealing Labour policies, e.g. on the NHS, for electoral advantage in a way reminiscent of the accusation that New Labour stole Tory policies in the mid-90s for similar reasons?

As a supplementary, ask him if it matters any more which main party is in power now they appear to be even closer together on the centre ground of British politics?

Bruce

"When are you finally going, and taking your rancid bunch of apologists with you?" would be my question.

Given evidence is filtering out of the US about a potential change in policy with regard to Iraq and revelations from the Blunket diaries will the PM every admit he personally got it wrong with both the decision to go to war and the post event fiasco.

My question is

Mr Blair, will you ever give a straight answer to a question before you leave office?

Ask him whether has had time in his summer break to watch 'The Queen'

Ask him if he reads your blog!

Tell him to help immediately all those unfortunate people who have lost pensions through no fault of their own when employers have gone bust.

Prime Minister, can you tell us whether you think that the invasion or Iraq has improved life for the residents of Baghdad?

Ask him when he's leaving No. 10.

"Mr Blair, as an obviously delusional individual is there really any point in asking you these questions and listening to replies that invariably run in the face of all evidence?" - (Then, without awating a reply, lean over and immediately start chatting to the person next to you.)

Ask Mr Blair:

What would he say to a close friend whose child has been killed by a known murderer who had escaped from an open prison because there was no room in a secure prison?

Mr. Blair are you proud of the fact that arms sales from the UK are 拢5bn per annum, supplying countries such as China, Israel, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and over 拢1bn to Africa.

You could ask Mr Blair the first of the Dannatt questions listed in 2 above by George and add something to the effect of "and if Gen Dannatt was now running the NHS instead of our armed forces, what do you think his honest assesssment of the current state of its health would be?"

Nick,

You could ask him if he is happy that his abiding legacy will be the destruction of pensions for all those outside the state sector - and whether he believes that his chancellor, the architect of the destruction, is truly the man to succeed him.

Ask him the price of a pint of milk - surely the ultimate test of whether a leader is in touch with reality and the people.

Nick,
why not ask the prime minister which country he feels will best protect him from the ICC (international criminal court)when he leaves office?

I have to say it makes no real difference what you ask him. Whether you be are the Leader of the Opposition, Politcal editor of the 大象传媒, or anyone else. His answers have become predictable, set piece, dull, boring...get the picture!

how about asking about giving people in enterprise as he talks about. it was a great speech at conference but i have tried to borrow money to start my own business and the small firms guarantee is not working which the banks should be pushing. this government should be setting people free rather than this mass imigration problem we are having and the lack of affordable housing now

Given the recent peer reviewed study published in The Lancet of 655,000 deaths in Iraq, the same methodology was used in Sudan & Congo and was quoted by both Blair and Straw. My question to the PM is this would you call it a genocide or a holocaust?

I've always wanted to ask the leader of the Labour Party what steps he is taking to prevent entryism by crypto-Tories.

Could you ask him whether he agreed with General Dannett's orginal comments and not just his follow-up clarification? he was very slippery on that one

Please asks will Mr Blair be prepared to defend himself in the International Criminal Court in the Hague, if charges are brought against him, one example is 'intentionally launching an attack knowing it will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians?'

The Iraqi Study Group is a Congress- mandated committeee of both Republicans and Democrats tasked with preparing a report on the "options" for U.S. policy in Iraq. Some of these options include the possible involvement of Syria and Iran in quelling the chaos in Iraq or even the possibility of partition within Iraq.

My question or comment to the Prime Minister is this ........British politicians seem to have been excluded from participation in the ISG and therefore do not seem to be meaningfully involved in the political debate.

I'm fed up with questions about the leadership. I know it's very important, next prime minister, etc, but the media are obsessing rather than reporting. It's no longer politics, it's nature: David Attenborough interpreting courtship rituals.

For me, the chaos and increasing farce in Iraq is still the most important story. Despite the rhetoric from Tony Blair and George Bush, it seems that the situation there is worse - for our soldiers, for civilians - than it was three years ago.

I think it's time to get tougher on the relationship between Bush and Blair. Not with soft "are you Bush's poodle" questions, because again, that's nature not politics.

I believe the US administration is now focused on Iran, and is trying to drive public opinion towards an invasion.

Dig up some Bush quotes, where he's tougher on Iran than on North Korea. Ask the Prime Minister which country he thinks poses the greater immediate threat. Ask him whether Britain could commit troops to a US-backed invasion of Iran and still maintain a presence in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I've also noticed that, according to MSNBC (), there'll be a verdict in the Saddam Hussein trial on November 5 - just two days before the US mid-term elections. Does the Prime Minister think that this is a coincidence?

Ask him about devolution for England and an English Parliament. What excuses can he trot out today?

I would ask: "Presumably you reject the Lancet's estimate that 650,000 people have died as a result of the Iraq invasion. What, specifically, was wrong with the report's methodology, in your view?"

How about... Mr's Blair, How do you sleep at night?

Can you ask him to detail the supposed flaws in the Lancet report on excess Iraqi deaths?

Clearly the massed ranks of epidemiologists who peer reviewed the paper have missed some subtle mathematical point and will be delighted to have the Prime Minister explain the errors of their ways.

You might need to provide him with an overhead projector and some acetates.

You could ask him whether he agrees with David Blunkett's comments that bombing Al Jazeera Television during the invasion to disarm Iraq would have been acceptable.

If he answers 'no' then ask him why Blunkett wasn't sacked for advocating a war crime (perhaps even for 'glorifying terrorism').

If he answers 'yes' you could ask him when he decided that he was not subject to international law.

How about
"Mr Blair, if you knew then what you know now, would you have joined America in invading Iraq?"

I know you will get the usual evasions and complaints about hypothetical questions, but it does seem to me to be the most fundamental question arising fom his premiership.

You鈥檙e on a roll, Nick.

If I鈥檝e judged the Prime Minister correctly, sneaky or jabbing questions are welcome or desired. This is the old politics, I鈥檓 sure, Prime Minister Blair wishes to sidestep. Being deceitful or taking a cheap shot strikes me as, merely, trying to knock someone down behind a thin cover of illuminating truth. I suggest, a more positive and open question will be more respectful as it would assist the Prime Minister. In this respect, it鈥檚 not the question that鈥檚 important but how it鈥檚 phrased. This way, we may judge his answer on its merits rather than it being twisted up front.

With this in mind I only have one question. 鈥淎s globalisation has encouraged development and trade, the opportunity for closer cooperation on visionary projects has risen. Does the Prime Minister see any emerging opportunities on the horizon that will inspire people and encourage new technologies and deeper partnerships, for example, partnering on a next generation supersonic transport aircraft with Japan?鈥� I know that question鈥檚 a bit from left field but I have a personal passion for great engineering, friendship with Japan, and developing positive consensus. It鈥檚 a crap shoot but it鈥檚 important to me.

I think you should ask the PM whether he expects to be questioned by police investigating the cash for peerages or even better ask him when he expects to be interviewed.

How about which party he is backing in the american mid-term elections and how he feels the future prime minister should continue our relationship with america.
In fact why not ask if he feels Britain should form such a close bond with the emerging superpowers.

I am very interested to know why he is unwilling to voice his support for Mr Brown to succeed him. Whilst I do not know him I imagine him to be disciplined and focussed, and surely his failure to back Gordon is damaging to the party's chances at the next election.

Could you ask him 2 questions:

1 why,given that he has failed the British people on every front - Iraq, the NHS, education, prisons and immigration - his reign can be considered anything other than abject failure?

2 Given the majority of British people are running out of patience/tolerance wit Islam (comments on the 大象传媒 website provide ample evidence of this) why is Mr Blair not considering measures of those implemented in Holland, France and Germany to encourage the Islamic community to embrace rather than hate the majority culture.

Ask him when his heart condition was found - whose story is correct, his own ("a recent development") or Blunkett's ("since his 30's")? If the latter, how did he get to be PM with a known heart condition?

Given the strong religious beliefs and his faith in God guiding him:

Does the prime minister feel he was right to involve the British people in a war of aggression which has caused the deaths of an estimated 655,000 Iraqi's and has in fact led to less security for the British people?

You might also ask him whether, in light of the most recent estimate of 650,000 dead in Iraq, he regrets trying to mislead the world that Iraq posed an 'immediate' threat to the world. For example, when he had just been told by the JIC (March 15 2002) that Iraq may have had 鈥榮ome production equipment, and some small stocks of CW agent precursors, and may have hidden small quantities of agents and weapons鈥︹�檇oes he regret then saying on NBC TV (April 3 2002) that 鈥榃e know that he [Saddam Hussein] has stockpiles of major amounts of chemical and biological weapons鈥︹��

Why ask him any questions as he is incapable of giving a straight and meaniful answer.

1. He should go.
2. What legacy? Total incompetance to run a western democratic company.
3. The worsed PM in the history of this country.

What is he and what does he actually stand for?

Given the choice of thos above I would go with the 'price of milk' question. My Blair has a shocking habit of not answering the question put to him and/or using it as platform to speak on a seperate issue he has prepared.

It is therefore of more merit to knock him off his stride with a Pattern Interrupt Question than to give him annother predictable query to be deflected. Asking about the price of milk could work, but I would ask him what he had for breakfast (perhaps based on the nations concern for his health). He would either have to think very quickly about what kind of breakfast it would be best to be thought to have had, or tell us the truth.

Not only is anything that encourages politicians to tell the truth a good thing, but it should jog a few of his 'stock responses' out of his head... giving later questions slightly greater chances to tap genuine answers beneath the layer of spin.

Nick - I seem to remember Blair giving an interview at Labour Party Conference, although perhaps since it was with your colleague Andrew Marr and not you it doesn't count?

Nick - ask him if he thinks Andrew Strauss should be captaining the England cricket team rather than Andrew Flintoff and whether Marcus Trescothick should be opening? Also should we be playing a spinner, as India are?

Come on Nick he is a tired worn out Prime Minister so be light hearted for once. Just say "Prime Minister we understand you watch the new 大象传媒 series The Amazing Mrs Pritchard; Do you beleive that the scenario presented in this drama is inevitable? and what advice would you give her in the first 24 hours of her adminstration"

Now that there is a democratic government in Iraq, would Mr. Blair be willing to stand trial there if they asked him to?

As a third suggestion, you might ask Tony Blair why, in April 2004, he told the Today Programme that 'We have found the mass graves of 300,000 people already in Iraq' when, at that point, according to Joanna Levison of the US State Department, there had been NO official exhumations at all. The 300,000 was, in fact, an estimate -NOT the number found (Quoted in Brendan O'Neill 'Unrecorded Victims', the Observer, July 21st 2004).

As he and his ministers have been making increasingly odious and insidious generalisations and suggestions about muslims, including Kelly's astonishing suggestion that university tecahing staff should spy on their students, can we assume that the 'respect agenda' is now defunct policy? (Or was it only authori-tai that we were supossed to respect?)

Put another way, how does the feel about his government doing more than any recently to legitmize the racist discourse of the far-right?

Why not do yourselves a favour and get all the media correspondents to just not turn up?

I think that would accurately reflect public opinion - that he is yesterday's man and of no newsworthiness at all.

Nick

So it's still September. eh? You could ask His Tonyness when the clocks will start striking thirteen and compulsory morning exercise in front of the telescreen will be implemented as the latest initiative to fight childhood obesity.

I'm sure no government would seek to interfere with the British people's fundamental freedom, values and beliefs to such a degree. But then again.......

Oh, a final one, while I remember:

Ask the Prime Minister; when his good friend and close political ally, George Bush, invited terrorists throughout the world to 'bring it on', did he expect that they would 'bring it on' to the London Tube?

Nick, ask him: What is it like being a real 'Walter Mitty'?

Why don't you ask him for the time table of military operations to liberate North Korea. The situation there tallies with his reasons for moving against Iraq (arguably even more so) and since he has never said that he regrets the invasion, obviously he is chomping at the bit to tear North Korea a new democracy. Maybe the only reason he isn't doing this is because of Shrub's as his own currently weakened states? You could ask him if he think his successor would support military action against the regime - that could be a new way of asking the press's current favourite question of him...

Please ask him how he plans to protect Gay men and Lesbians from discrimination relating to the provision of goods and services while enshrining discrimination in legistlation exempting charities or publicly funded faith schools and religious organisations from providing publicly funded or untaxed services to gay men and Lesbians. Please ask him why exemption should be allowed justified by strongly held religious belief and not for others, even though they may also have strongly held beliefs. Why exempt the very religious organisations which are the most vocal political denigraters of homosexuality and Gay men and Lesbians.

"Prime Minister, you have said that you agree with everything that General Dannatt has said. Do you agree that, given the current situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was right to make his views public? What do you intend to do to address his concerns?"

Could you ask him if he agrees that privatisation of public services has been a total disaster. That will he categorically assure that there will be no privatisation of any part of the NHS.
Will he bring Water, Gas, Electricity and the Railways back under public ownership.

1. Now that the Army (Sir Richard Dannett), like other public services, has shown reluctance to pursue New Labour's political objectives, will the Prime Minister seal his New Labour legacy by turning the MoD into a purchaser of armed services from private providers? Will it contract with private militias to fight New Labour's wars on behalf of the taxpayer?

2. Now that former Cabinet Ministers (David Blunkett) are able to publish their memoirs shortly after leaving office, commenting freely on colleagues & civil servants, does he agree that former civil servants should have similar freedom to go public?

Nick,

Ask him if was planted in the Labour party as a spy and a destroyer in the same way that the NUM was infiltrated prior to the miner's strike.

Ask him if he has a sense of humour as we certainly need one whilst he remains in office.

I would like to know why his era as prime minister has seen an excessive amount of knee-jerk policies being introduced?
It appears that as soon as the public/media complain about a certain subject, a new politically correct policy to appease the compalinants is wheeled out?

As weird cult ...err I mean religious/faith schools are being asked to take in 25% non faith intake would Mr Blair be perfectly happy sending his children to, say, a Muslim School? (...cause that's what he'll be asking the rest of us to consider. which as an atheist is bloody annoying).

Why not surprise him and ask a strictly policy-related question? Perhaps because your editor would get irritated with you?

How about asking how the theme of patient choice is affecting staff morale and the long-term sustainability of the NHS. Does he think the choice agenda continues to be the right one?

Mr Blair,

Why was an Iraqi who fled to Britain in 2001, after being detained and tortured, refused asylum on the grounds that the Iraqi security forces, would only convict and sentence a person in the courts with the provision of proper jurisdiction," so that "you could expect to receive a fair trial under an independent and properly constituted judiciary"?

This is an important question because a year or so later you told the British people that we had to go to war to free the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein's evil rule.

Ask him for one substantial Capital or Social infrastructure project that his administration has delivered on Time, on Cost to Published Quality Standards and please require the specifics of each test.

Prime Minister, in any profession other than politics, the decisions taken that have resulted the murderous chaos which the Iraq Fiasco has become would be described as gross criminal negligence, and those responsible would be in prison by now.

Please explain why those responsible can simply let themselves off, when in similar circumstances the rest of us would have to go to prison.

Ask him why he can apparently never give a straight answer to a straight questioin but must waffle on interminably, thereby comprehensively fogging any issue, blunting any criticism and allwoign himself to talk about what HE wants to talk about.

How does he feel presiding (he wishes) over the largest and most negative downturn in public opinion of politics and politicians (of all colours) since the Thatcher?

I'd ask him how he manages to cope with the constant criticism. I live in a mixed community which has a new hospital, a new library, a new community arts centre and revitalised public transport. The roads and street lighting are having money spent on them for the first time in years. My elderly mum is more comfortable in her council house than ever thanks to investment in it and help with her income. Unemployment is low, people feel well off and can go out to spend their money in the increasing number of nice shops and restaurants. My kids' school does better each year, and they can look forward to going to university with an incredible choice of courses and locations, funded by a loan system which will have little impact on their long term finances. My 18 year old is helped by being paid the minimum wage for his part-time job. The country is more relaxed about being part of Europe and we are welcoming people from all over the EU to help companies with shortages of skilled workers. Business is doing well and even manufacturing is going through a period of optimism. Yes, there ahve been mistakes---but look at the bigger picture!

Before the General Election, Labour categorically promised to set national transport targets and reduce traffic. The Labour Policy Handbook [October 1996], said "transport targets [will be] set at both the national and local level" and that Labour would "reduce then reverse traffic growth".
A classic case of abject failure. What should be done now?

I'd love to know if he has any genuine presonal regrets about his time in office?

How about: what more does the government plan to do to combat identity theft, given that the Prime Minister himself has been a victim ? ;-)

"Mr Blair. What are you doing here?"

Please could you ask him, since it has now proved that we went to Iraq on either mistakenly false information or deliberately false information, and that it is estimated 650,000 people have died due to that war, whether he is guilty of mass manslaughter due to criminal negligence or of the ultimate international crime under the Geneva Convention - that of a war of aggression?

I'd ask him about the impacts on ordinary people of the sheer incompetence of his government.

The list is huge. The mess at the rural payments agency which has put some farmers out of business - and the effect of the overspend on bureaucracy there causing people running the canals to lose their jobs.

The loss of control in the NHS - despite the extra billions thrown at it, many local health authorities are cutting services and sacking skilled staff - 300 redundancies just announced at my local hospital in Winchester.

Tony Blair needs to go so that we might actually get someone who can run the government. Competence will become the big issue at the next election just as sleaze dogged te final days of John Major.

Ask him why he (Mr Blair) always thinks the majority are wrong?

The majority don't support our staying Iraq much longer - regardless of showing "solidarity" with America.

The majority don't support privatisation of our hopsitals.

The majority are tired of being denigrated for their indigenous culture just to placate muslims or fundamentalist christians.

The majority are tired of endless petti-fogging "initiatives" and "task forces" and other rag-tag bunches of do-gooders infilitrating every aspect of our lives.

So again - why are the majority always wrong?

What is so special about you that it is imperative for the country that you stay in office for another 6 months? Why would another leader now be so disasterous?

Please can you ask Mr Blair what he considers the "optimum" population of the UK to be today and how he expects this figure to change in the medium to long run (you can allow him to define what "optimum" means). We seem to have loads of debate about immigration controls, without having a view as to what the "optimum" number of people for the UK is today and in the future.

I'd ask him if he would take Lord Rooker's advice and go to Wales to get his water supplied rather than from Thames Water which has just been bought by an Australian investment fund.

Hans Blix said yesterday that it would be easier to talk to Iran and North Korea about nuclear disarmament if the original four nuclear powers abided by their obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and started disarming themselves. So ask him why we still need nuclear weapons after the end of the cold war - they no longer contribute to stability, but the opposite. Today, don't they make the world a more dangerous place?

Regarding message 97 is "dave" actually Sion Simon?

Could you please ask him if the estimated 655,000 dead Iraqis were worth it? And if so, worth what?

Ask him to reflect on his personal responsibility as a "christian" for the "murder" of 000,000s of people

Well Nick, what do you make of this then? The PM's monthly briefing seems to have become an advert for the NHS?

Stephen Morris (No 53) makes an absolutely splendid suggestion. Please ask that one!

Ask him, if we hadn't gone to war in Iraq, what he would have liked to do with the billions we've spent on it.

Then ask him if he has been happy with the trade-off.

GENERAL DANATT'S REMINDS ME OF THE
LATE GREAT 'MONTY' WEAPON IN ONE
HAND AND THE BIBLE IN THE OTHER,
AS AN OLD SOLDIER I CAN APPRECIATE
HIS CONCERN FOR HIS MEN AND THE
FUTURE OF THE ARMY, AND IDEEED ALL
THE FIGHTING SERVICES, AND I TRUST
HIS COMMENTS WILL BE ACTED AND
IMPLEMENTED WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY

As Tony Blair said that he had no plans to raise taxes (prior to the 1997 general election ) at all why are more estates facing death duty , why are more people paying 40p income tax , why has the threshold for the starting rate of tax been cut , why are more people paying income tax than in 1997 , why was any benefit from a penny off the basic rate cancelled out by a 1% rise in NIC's and why has the stamp duty burden on property transactions shot up ? Also MIRAS & the MCA have been axed , insurance premium duty doubled & pensions destroyed by a vindictive tax and TESSA's ended .

What about

"What input has the UK had into James Bakers review of Iraq policy?".

I'm betting the real answer is 'none whatsoever'and Blair's just waiting to be told what to do

Mr. Blair, why did you not resign when it was revealed that No. 10 intentionally leaked Dr. David Kelly's name to the media?

General Sir Richard Dannat said
that Christian values are under threat in Britain and that continuing to fight in Iraq will only make the situation worse.

If Tony Blair agrees with every word, will he be apologising for the affect his failed foreign policy?

Nick,

There would appear to have been a good lesson for Brown and Cameron in the press conference about the dangers of trying to brand the NHS as independent.

Obviously Blair's intention bring in the Chief Medical Officer and the NHS Chief Executive was to try and protray them as "independent" and "arbitors of the truth" and have you lot accept everything they said as gospil.

It failed completely. The news channels failed to cover Liam Byrne's presentation. The journalists then laid into the NHS chief exec for an outragously partisan presentation.

What does he plan to do after he resigns?

Could you ask Mr Blair, when he is bought before the International Courts, how he will defend himself against the charge that he is a war criminal for his complicity in the war of aggression against Iraq and the deaths of over 650,000 Iraqis?

Does he stick by the Nuremberg charter; that a war of agression represents "the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole"?

Nick,

What is the point of all this! Mr. Blair has had his time. The levels of incompetance and corruption reach new highs. Rather than a change of leadship i.e. PM the people of this country need their say.

Perhaps Mr. Brown whould like ask a question. How much money has been taken from the pension funds, and who long terms is going to pay for peoples retirement?

Why are there so many Directors and Strategic Planners in the Health Service?

Why has more money been spent in real terms, and so little reward has come to the public of the country?

Perhaps, you need to question the dailey lies, and actually ask them the government for clear factual resposes.

Truth! Truth! Truth!

Ask him how he sleeps at night? and what potion he takes to get to sleep with all of the civilian dead on his conscience?

Ask the PM
1 What does he think of the Tory party that voted for the Iraq war and then, with the aid of its media, deliberately used the war to undermine his integrity?
2 What he really thinks about the mud-slingers and the amount of mud they have thrown at himself and his family over the last 10 years, and why anyone should be expected to put up with it?
3 Whether the government should use a more responsible newspaper than the Daily Mail to tell General Dannatt how to run the Army?

"Mr Blair is it me, or are you looking a bit tired?"

Or alternatively

"Do you accept that modesty is a culturally moderated medium, and would you be willing to walk down the street without your trousers in order to improve inter-cultural communication?"

I agree with David Smith, enough about the leadership. We know he's got less than a year left, is that not enough?

How about:

"Given that a large proportion of the UK armed forces are currently occupied (overstretched, even) in Iraq and Afghanistan, how would the UK respond if North Korea was to launch a large-scale invasion of Seoul tomorrow?"

Hello Nick

When the opportunity arises perhaps you could ask Mr Blair, and his cabinet colleagues, where and how they developed the ability to talk for long periods of time without using a single verb!

I might ask the Prime Minister certain questions such as "Why is a chef able to meddle in my school dinners, when I dont want him too?" and "Why are my meals are still underfunded by 60 MILLION POUNDS!". And whilst he may be able to make a U-turn on my language education, why can't he do the same on my ever looming University fees? The problem with this style of advertising that goes on is that the Government tells the News stations like the Beeb, so that it can control the news and not worry about other things like Iraqis getting blown up or the fact that we are sending our troops into Afghanistan and Iraq in Land Rovers that were barely adequate in Northern Ireland, let alone in countries where they are getting attacked with RPGs and roadside bombs. Whilst the public here and in Iraq may be screaming at him to leave, his decision to pull out in such slow movements is nearly preempting a war. A possible question from that would be "Why don't you listen to your Army Chief and give them the equipment they need in Afghanistan and pull out of Iraq?"

At the age of 15 I may be one of a few interested in politics, but I still wonder why the Government is able to dodge these issues. In this age of investigative journalism, why do we get dumbed down news from all save Channel 4, and the real issues not followed up?

Ask the P.M.? now that the U.N. is once again acting in unison and dealing with the N. KOREAN situation collectively,how do you sanction a nation that already cann't feed its self ?

Ask the PM why criticisms of the Iraq policy are not equally directed at the Tory party and others who voted for that policy: also whether critics are implying they are so stupid and incompetent that they entered a war without being as fully informed as the PM.

Mr Blair
Will you please go. You have far outlived any benefit you might have been. And will you please for the sake of this country and the rest of the world take your incompetant government with you.

I would like you to ask Tony Blair the following questions:
Do you realise the importance of village post offices to local communities?
If he answers'yes' ask:
What action will you take to ensure their survival?
If he answers 'no' ask:
Why are you and your Government not taking steps to understand the problem before allowing closures to take place?

Why does the government feel it is necessary ( and i do agree ) to make tax free payments to serving soldiers to "bring them in line with their U.S. Counterparts" when it consistently refuses to do the same for those suffering from gulf war illnesses who suffer without the resources, investigations and specialist care provided and recognised by the U.S. military and government.

In terms of number of violent deaths, is Iraq better off now?

Mr Blair, do you believe, in your capacity as an Oxford graduate in Law, that under the terms of the UN Charter the right to self-determination of a sovereign member state (in this case Iraq) is conditional on that state's internal policies? If not, by what right did you and George Bush invade Iraq? Your classic response to this question is simply to say: "It was the right thing to do." Unfortunately, the dictionary definition for a ruler who governs by what he himself says is right is "dictator". That, alas, is what you are, like it or not.

Some time ago Mr Blair said that he was going to focus on fixing national problems rather than international ones. This hasn't happened. My question to Mr Blair would be..

'When was it that you lost touch with the ordinary british person? Why can't you see that people are fed up with what is happening at the moment? Do you realise that the simple things in life are becoming impossible.. such as getting a doctors appointment.. finding a good local school.. and getting your local MP to work for their area instead of you.

Grass level trust in all Government is nearing nil, even when you state on the media that billions are going here, there and everywhere. To most people I know the words are meaningless.

If I could ask another question, and without you stating government statistics at me, I would really like to ask.. How has your time as MP help the homeless person, or how have you halted the division in this country between faiths. I honestly don't believe that you understand the tension felt at the grass roots level. Don't you realise that you have lost touch?

I would say to Tony Blair: "Your Government constantly talks about accountability. What meaning does the word 'accountable' have when you and your Ministers consistently refuse to answer questions that are important but which reflect badly on the Government? In what sense is Britain still a democracy?"

Nick,

Ask the Prime Minister how he reconciles the oath of allegiance sworn by personnel of HM Armed Services to the Sovereign with his powers under the Royal Prerogative .

In other words where does the allegiance of Her Majesty'e Armed Forces personnel lie ?

Well done with all the sneeky questions to try to trip up the Prime Minister.

Could you tell us which seat you will be running for at the next election or are you one of these people who can't do but can yap. Typical Liberal.

No doubt this will go into your bin like my other email but you should be ashamed of yourself. You are supposed to be impartial and you are working for the 大象传媒. Surely some standards apply.

Personally I couldn't care less what you say but the people of this country look up to the 大象传媒 for impartial reporting..... although they seldom get it!

My question: -
Do you regard inheritance tax as a force for social good?

Could you ask the Prime Minister to detail the benefits to the British public of the Human rights legislation introduced by his Government.
