Britain is currently facing the biggest threat to its national security since World War Two. The nation is full of terrified people, especially those due to fly (like myself), wondering where the terrorists are going to strike next. Where is our Prime Minister, Tony Blair at this critical time? He is holidaying in Barbados as unconcerned as the day. Unlike his American counterpart, George Bush, Tony Blair didn’t even interrupt his holiday to speak to the people of Britain and calm their fears or give them any sort of reassurance. Instead he left for his holiday even though he was warned 48 hours before the general public that Britain faced a massive terrorist threat. Being Prime Minister requires commitment, you can't afford to be complacent in times like these, even if it means interrupting a holiday to address the nation. It is not surprising that Mr Blair’s popularity is on a downward slide. How can the British public have any confidence in a Prime Minister who behaves like this.
