TONY Blair has shown he's a real chicken. He doesn't dare face the British people in a TV debate because he knows that without his spin doctors he'd lose.
He said on the Frost Programme 10 days ago that he was happy in principle to take part in a TV election debate.
Then, Downing Street announced that he wouldn't take part in any debates. It seems Tony Blair's latest principled stand lasted little more than a week.
I suggest that the broadcasters go ahead with their plans for a debate. If Tony Blair still refuses to show, we'll just leave an empty chair with a big sign of "coward" for where Tony Blair would have sat if he'd had the guts to turn up.
