Whilst the majority I meet say Blair's book is nothing less than self-serving vain gloriousness.
At the same time a similar majority grumble about a former Prime Minister, whose administration brought in the Hunting Act 2004.
Of course they grumble and that's an understatement, some of the colourful comments I heard this morning, would 'embarrass' decent hunting folk and bring a blush to their cheeks!
But the question is now posed, has he admitted he was personally negligent, by saying he did not understand the issue and the effect upon so many people, their way of life and professional interests?
Could a private action be taken in the Civil Courts? Trouble is he has so many houses one would have difficulty serving the writ.
On the other hand he is worth a bob or two............
I also think it was wholly inappropriate of him to discuss his wager with His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, within the book. A wager largely at the expense of a business and country people that were powerless to do much about their fate, with little regard for the effect upon the rural economic infrastructure.
In the light of what Blair has said, is the 2004 Hunting Act now legally enforceable.
It's almost worth having a cracking good hunt, being arrested, charged and then arguing the case on the basis, the government that enacted the legislation, have now admitted they did not know what they were doing. That's assuming the Crown Prosecution Service still believe the legislation is tenable.
