Is he the guy from American Idol? I really don't think he was all that bad and I think he was sleeping with Paula which makes him OKAY in my book!1

Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
I always thought of him as a younger blair clone... polished, youthful looking and seems to come across well... similar views from what I know as well...
I feel honoured an American knows him well enough to consider him evil... I on the other hand haven't got a clue who the foriegn secertary for Belguim is....

Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
Bring back Robin Cook is what I'd say.
Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
Bring back John Major and Jack Straw. Miliband is ok, I paid much more attention to him when he was the new kid on the block. He sounded much more robotic and stodgy - but looked even younger, so it was pretty creepy. His is getting better, I guess and the greying.
Hey, remember when he was talking about a new EU world order spreading into Russia? That was weird.

Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
Yeah, er, John Major was a conservative PM over 10 years ago -Jack Straw is still a Cabinet Minister for the incumbent labour government. They were never in the same government.
If I'm honest with you, i'm not sure why you think they are worth bringing back, or whatever you'd do to Jack Straw for that matter (maybe like stale bread, wet and then pop in the oven for 5 mins?).
Do they enjoy a particular reputation out of the UK?
Major's major claim to fame (haha - sorry) was backstabbing Maggie Thatcher, shared however with the stigma of being at the helm when the last conservative govt tanked through incompetant administration.
I've no idea why Straw would be renowned. I mostly remember him for his perilous comments on Niqab wearing constituents...

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
I was pretty sure we were talking about Foreign Secretaries, a position held by all 4 mentioned individuals. Even though Major was only in the position for a short time, his overall disposition as PM was good, so I was insinuating that he would be great at the Sec State position, were he to return to politics.
I had no idea that we were reminiscing about dead Labour leaders, or maybe I did and put out 2 leaders whose records showed a rather stark contrast.

Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
Fair play to Robin, he stuck to his guns and quit his job rather than get us into the Iraq mess. I think those kinds of principles and integrity are few and far between in modern politicians...
I could never in my lifetime imagine a Cameron, Blair or Milliband doing that...
Bring Jack Straw back ? I didn't realise he had gone anywhere...

Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
He probably means in terms of the foreign office, in which he has of course departed.
You are right though, there are not many truly principled politicians on the front benches of any of the parties anymore - the principled ones are stuck on the back benches for being just that. Very sad. The whole expenses thing is going to make it worse with more and more career politicians, sticking their noses up the leaders ... you get my point.
