Blair video
Tony Bliar home video
The Prime Minister has published a video on his website describing a typical day at the office, in which he bemoans the fact that "nothing prepares you for the duties of being Prime Minister".
He also complains "The hours are very ....long. I've never actually totted up the hours I do in any week"
A couple of other quotes of his in the video are quite interesting
"It's very important, I mean, I always say in here whenever I'm getting briefed on anything - facts, facts, facts. Get the facts first.....
"You can work your way round both the policy and also how you answer difficult questions, but the quality of the research you get is very, very important."
I wonder if the thorny questions of weapons of mass destruction and the Iraq war came into his mind while talking about the importance of facts and research?
One thing for certain though is " that everything you say is on the record and is then subject to the most minute scrutiny". You are dead right there Mr. Blair!
