I think he is showing respect and thought for others. So many people will be pre-occupied for the next few days in their grief. Had Tony gone ahead he would have been criticised for not showing respect. Jacky |

Thats just about right isn't it. Any way not to lose face, after jumping on the school dinner bandwagon and coming off, what next. |

Surely he has just brought the announcment foward. Up to now he has been saying he had not decided on the date of an election. By saying the announcment has now been delayed he is saying the election will be on May 5. The only delay is in the procedure. Another case of annoncing to the press rather than to Parliament. I would argue that no comment was required, all he had to do was go to the Queen on Tuesday rather than Monday with no further comment. Bob |

Blair..........The Tory in disguise WILL win, and no, he is not stalling but acting appropriatly towards the general mood. |

It must be a great disappointment to the 40 something percent of the population who bother to vote.... |

If anything the Popes death 6 days before the wedding has added yet another dampener to the run up of this date. |
