I also admire politicians who have genuine principles, for standing

Corbyn, Blair, Tony Benn, Hilary Benn, Heseltine, Tebbit, Thatcher,
etc. That doesn't mean I support their views - I don't think anyone
could support all the above, but I respect them for being genuine
to their own beliefs.

Not sure how Blair got into that list... He always seemed incapable of
having an opinion until a focus group told him which one to have!

Even sillier than you usually manage.

He was of the opinion that the Labour Party needed a
bomb under it without needing any focus group on that.
