PM to confirm he'll resign in August '07 but won't name precise date today. Were it in Naija, all of us would have begun to queue up to make insinuations that he wants to loot the treasury. . .

Someone just sent an email to the BBC saying: "As soon as Blair sets a date, he'll be a dead man walking."

The sit tight mentality is human, not African.

The difference betwen him and our African one is that he is performing well.

Chxta,

Accusations or insinuations is based on history,Mr Blair can't possibly loot the Treasury because he doesn't control it,public institutions like the Inland Revenue,HM Treasury,Customs,Bank of England,Police etc run the country.Parliament makes the policies and public servants run the country.

Abdulsalam,Babaginda,Shagari all stole from public coffers when the knew the end was nigh

The comparison between apples and oranges continues.

It would take millions of years before the third world countries would know that there leaders are not just only corrupt in the real sense [ some may be but there must be some exceptions ], but the system was designed for them to look and possibly be corrupt, remember the new world order, the problems of the third world country started after the down fall of the soviet union, leaving the world with only one super power. Is not possibly a coincidence that most of the third world currencies were devalued almost at the same time after the down fall of the soviet union. for example the eastern European countries that just joined the European union, do you want to tell me that when they were not with the EU they were ruled by corrupt devils and now they are ruled by angels. Take it this way those eastern Europeans could be allowed to partake in the sharing of the cake without merit because they are Europeans, but if we would not start asking questions like china did, believe me we can't survive. the word ''economy'' does not work the way you are made to believe it works, these might sound like a blasphemy but you 've got to have very ''red eyes'' inside your brain to understand what I mean. The tony Blair sit tight issue is propably because he wants to out do Margret Thatcher or may be he does not want to leave office before George Bush, but no can do.

if there is any oyinbo thief it is is george bush. true d sit tight thing is not african. chirac has been dere 4ever.
