Return of the Open Thread

There will be no blogging over the weekend, so here is a thread to leave news items you want to bring attention to, or make any other (preferably interesting) point.

Tony Blair has just announced his intention to stand down as Labour leader and Prime Minister on the 27th June. In his speech he described Britain as the greatest nation on earth.

As there won't be any posts today this will be an open thread to discuss Britain and Blair.
