I was in Portcullis House today - one of the Commons' buildings - having coffee and Tony Blair walked through. David Cameron went up to him and thirty seconds of words and broad smiles were exchanged.
What do you think they said?
Another competition for you...
I know Tony Blair. I am Tony Blair. Cameron, you're no Tony Blair.

Why thank you David.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, David...Well you started it!!

Don't worry, you hang on till the end and I'll make sure Brown is never PM.

!The difference between us, David, is that I can keep Gordon Brown out of 10 Downing Street."

Keep up the good word David!, So when are you going to tell them about the name change....

Blair: "I want to be the new David Cameron"
Posted by: AnotherNick | 19 October 2005 at 22:52
"Hey Tony, can you give me some advice on leading the Conservative Party?"
"Just keep Copying what i do Son, you'll make it."

Quick! Hide before Tim Montgomerie sees us together!

"I want to be just like you when I grow up"

"Hey, David, How come i didn't see you at Maggie's Birthday? What's the matter, Not Tory enough for an invite?"

"In return for letting me borrow the media for a bit longer Tone, let me tell you a joke a colleague told me about four dogs and a blackbird..."

So, are you looking forward to being leader of HM's Opposition?
David, I thought you knew that I was standing down before the next election!
Posted by: Terry Keen | 19 October 2005 at 23:29
Blair probably said "You've got loads of MPs. Why bother lending some to Davis? Lend them to me. I need them more"

One Douglas Hurd, MP for Witney dropped out of the leadership race saying that the days of Old etonians leading the Conservative Party were over.............yet just 15 years later we have an MP for Witney telling us that Old Etonians are back in fashion.
Posted by: Rick | 20 October 2005 at 08:49
So Douglas Hurd got something wrong! He's not Geoff Hurst or Attila the Hun! Or even Desmond Tutu!

So my young Padawan, the plan comes together nicely. Embrace the Dark Side and you will WIN !!!
