    Actually when the Socialists got in in 1997 Honk Kong was a month or so away from being handed back to the Chinks - Major gave him the job. Blair made him a life peer - might have been something to do with Blair converting to Catholicism and wanting to keep in with the Pope

    Blair's had the right training for the job, 10 years plus of cover ups and lies
