  There is nothing wrong with a ex leader giving a helping hand to his own party,only wished it had happen in my day as a chairman.

  Hey Everyone,
  I think Brian Dixon is right.. We have to be aware form geeks bearing gifts. "Giving someone the benefit of the doubt" and "not looking a gift horse in the mouth" sprang to mind when I heard of Tony Blair's proposed gift to the British Legion..
