HMMMMMMM, Why is blair not on home turf cutting his holiday short to reasure the british people at a time like this, I mean, was there not a massive terror plot which could still be going on?

What ever the truth, It is a joke & a disgrace.

Anyone any ideas why he did not return home straight away?

Perhaps the reason is to reassure.

It might just be that TB (no doubt in daily if not hourly contact with the various parts of government and the security services during this 'alert') decided that the best course of action was to project an image of calm
(and demonstrate the actuality of 'cabinet' government in this Labour government; it's a reality that, once again, totally refutes the critics repeated ridiculous claims of 'control freakery' ).

But let's be honest, whatever they had done would have been cause for someone to howl from the gallery and try to score a few cheap political points, eh?

If he stayed on longer than he did (as it was he did delay going on holiday) it would be taken as a sign of his supposed being a 'control freak' and if he goes it's abandoning the country.
Tough at the top, eh?

Personally I quite like the idea that our political leaders get away from it all (accepting that they don't really anyway) at least a little.

No-one can accuse TB of taking 'the dubya' version of holidaying and being away for huge chunks of the year on vacation.

I quite like it that TB enjoys some non-politically obsessed 'real life' with his own 'real family'.
They live in enough of a 'bubble' as it is.

Better that than a stressed out and distracted PM quietly suffering a series of personal crisis from a family not getting any attention.

You know what is funny though, Has anyone actually seen him, live on the T.V. since he left on Holiday, All we got was a press statement from No 10 Downing street, supposingly from him.

Hmmmmmmms has something happened to him and they are not telling us??? (Ive been comming to this site too long I think, I feel a conspiracy comming on).
