It is nice that Poland think that they should recognise they efforts Tony Blair went to, at direct cost to the people of his own country to give Poles and in fact anyone from pretty much anywhere, an opportunity to take money out of the UK and help support the Polish (or some other) economy. This of course, was in addition to the increasing funds he agreed to give them via the EU.
Naturally, a number of wealthy individuals and financial institutions decided to give more direct and discreet thanks for all he did for them, often ignoring or changing British laws and regulations, to allow them to gain advantage.
And perhaps, negative things could offer an award? Although Clinton can claim to have set the ball rolling for a massive banking crisis, Blair did his part and with his economically ignorant Chancellor did an unbelievably good job of wrecking the economy. Not for him any need to co-opt the power of the Unions to destroy the country, as previous Labour administrations had to.
It would be difficult to decide though, what the award should be called? The Most Stupid Politician? The Worst Prime Minister? The Politician Most Able To Keep Morals Out Of His Every Decision? The options go on and on.
And then you need to consider the wise adage that you should know a man by the friends he keeps; in the past John Prescott, Peter Mandelson, Alistair Campbell, Gordon Brown and now, tyrants and despots the world over.
We do also, still need to know who it was that killed, or ordered the killing of Dr. David Kelly.
