    I agree with your comments about changing your mind set Merv. If there is one issue which I give Blair credit for was his part in the Northen Ireland peace process. However, I would certainly question the sincerity of PM Cameron's glowing tributes to Mandela. IMO it was no more than a salesman's pitch and predictably so.

    Cameron is a PR obsessive and looks at any opportunity to score 'voter points'. But it is worth illustrating that even a conservative view can be progressive.
