      It's on American telly, that's why. They used the NTSC encoding system, as opposed to the European PAL system, which is generally considered to be of better quality. I don't know of the French SOCOM's quality in relation to the other two, though.

There's not much to say since Cameron's question didn't require much of an answer, but Blair did in fact destroy him. Cameron was implying that Conservatives tax people a lot less than Labour and Blair completely shut that argument down with seemingly little effort.

      He was instrumental in spreading unfound conjecture about WMDs, he introduced tuition fees, PFIs, etc.
      & in terms of electoral success, he achieved a huge landslide victory in 97 with the backing of big money/establishment media, but Labour's popularity was tanking under Blair & has subsequently led working-class people to become disillusioned with Labour.
      It's a significant reason why Labour has lost the last 4 elections, coming closest to victory in 2017.

    Slapped down by 'the master'. That's what Cameron's inner circle used to refer to Blair as - as he was so slick and won three elections on the trot with a smallest majority of 55...

      He had total, blind faith in his ability to win people over to vote Remain. That cost him his job, God knows what it's going to cost us. And yeah, I'm sure he was happy to quit, find a publisher for his ghostwritten memoirs, fleece the after-dinner circuit and get some consultancies. It would've been much tougher to stay on and mop up all the mess he caused.

      He called a referendum on Britain's status in the EU, arrogantly believing the people wouldn't dare vote Leave. Well guess what, they did vote Leave. He resigned in shame of his arrogant decision to try and dictate to the masses what they should think. Theresa May should've done the same after the election. She went to people arrogantly believing she could dictate how they would vote and then it backfired. She should've resigned there and then and let Boris take over.
