10 Downing Street survived a near-devastating frontal bombing raid during World War II. Winston Churchill was working there at the time. He was forced to withdraw all his cabinet members and retreat to an air-raid shelter under the Treasury building.

In October 1939, the British Cabinet moved into a secret wartime underground room built in the foundations of the building engineering office. A fortified shelter was also built underneath 10 Downing Street for the staff there. George VI even had dinner with Churchill in the sanctuary. Although the bomb caused further damage to 10 Downing Street, it did not hit directly. Churchill continued to work and dine there until the end of the war. By the time Churchill moved back to 10 Downing Street after the war, it had already become a place of rejoicing. At 3 p.m. on May 8, 1945, he announced the arrival of Victory in Europe Day on the radio from his cabinet room at 10 Downing Street.

In the 1950s, the structural safety of 10 Downing Street became an urgent issue, with subsidence, collapsing walls and twisted door frames becoming commonplace, while in the Cabinet Room, the 200-year-old pillars used to support the building were found to be only varnish and paint on the outside, while the solid logs inside had long since decayed and were almost dusty. All in all, the entire 10 Downing Street is in danger of collapsing immediately. At one time, all the buildings in Downing Street were demolished and rebuilt, but in the end, it was decided to follow the example of the White House in the United States, keeping the exterior of 10 Downing Street in its original form, while the interior and foundation were completely demolished and refilled with concrete and modern steel. Rebuilt into its original state. When the architect inspected the façade of the Prime Minister's Office, he was shocked to find that the façade of 10 Downing Street was originally yellow, but it took two centuries of air pollution to smoke the façade to the black color known today. In the end, the architects decided to dye the cleaned yellow bricks black in order to preserve the "traditional" color of the Prime Minister's Office. After years of remodeling, the current 10 Downing Street is actually connected to many buildings. In addition to being connected to other houses in Downing Street, the Prime Minister's House also has access to some buildings adjacent to the Horse Guards parade ground. As for who opened these buildings, it is impossible to know.

Later, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan built the first bow cabinet table here to ensure eye contact between participants during the meeting, and the 23 chairs used by Prime Minister Gladstone's cabinet members are still in use today. The building was badly damaged by an IRA mortar attack on 7 February 1991 when Prime Minister John Major was holding a cabinet meeting inside. Despite the absence of any casualties, the Cabinet was secretly evacuated to the Admiralty building and continued to work until the restoration was completed.

In this attack, the vulnerability of Downing Street was laid bare. Later, the "Thatcher Gate" at the end of Downing Street was replaced, and the secret works also ensured the safety of 10 Downing Street, and the welcome gate, as it is now known, was rebuilt with an explosion-proof material.

Blair was a sensation at the time when he sold his home in Islington and moved into a larger apartment at 11 Downing Street. The apartment on the upper floor of 11 Downing Street was not only spacious, but also had a fairly comfortable bedroom, where Blair packed up toys for his young son, Leo, and many VIP visitors who went to meet the Prime Minister would find that the building was filled with large chunks of high-pitched toys (trade names). That brand has been kept because it was Blair's favorite relationship. There are also bedrooms overlooking the Royal Janissaries Square and St James's Park, where you can hear the sounds of the Royal Guards as they rehearse the parade.

This is the panoramic view of everyday family life in Downing Street. In addition to these modest features, Downing Street is also full of high-tech equipment, such as a video instant messaging device in its basement that connects to the other side of the Atlantic, allowing for direct video conference calls with the President of the United States.

Downing Street today is no longer as busy as it once was. It is now the office of the British Prime Minister, a meeting place for cabinet members, a meeting place for national affairs, and the residence of the Prime Minister's family.

Chen Feng's convoy came to the big black iron gate at the entrance of Downing Street. The gate was installed in 1989 to protect the then Prime Minister, Mrs. Dyzoll, from terrorists, particularly the Irish Republican Army. Previously, Downing Street was freely accessible to the general public, serving as a shortcut between Whitehall and St James's Park. The gate has not yet been dismantled, and reinforcement works were carried out in March this year.

Because of the accident in the team, except for Chen Feng, the other twenty bodyguards did not know English, Chen Feng, a superstar, could only get out of the car in person and go to the big iron gate to call the door, and in order to avoid misunderstanding by the security guards watching the gate, Chen Feng only took Zhang Qiangguo forward.

In fact, he was too worried, when he arrived at the big iron gate, he was about to open his mouth to call the door, when he saw a Caucasian woman in her forties coming inside, and said to Chen Feng with a smile. "Long, you're very welcome to Downing Street, I'm Ruth Turner, I've been in contact with you, the Prime Minister is already waiting for you in the office, please come in. ”

"Nice to meet you. Miss Turner. It's hard work!" Chen Feng politely replied in English.

In fact, when Ruth Turner called the yellow man outside the iron fence "long", several doormen were a little stunned, and when the iron gate was opened, Chen Feng politely took off his sunglasses in front of Ruth Turner, and these sharp-eyed doormen were all petrified on the spot.

It wasn't until Chen Feng followed Ruth Turner away that they all reacted, and one of the bald guards looked at several companions with inquiring eyes and asked, "You say, I was dazzled just now, I seemed to see Long just now, it was the yellow man who went in just now." ”

The other guard also came back to his senses and said loudly, "Jackson, you read that right, it was Long who just entered, didn't you hear Miss Ruth Turner just call him 'Long'? And he looks exactly like that superstar Long, isn't he who else? Damn it, if only I had seen him earlier, or Miss Ruth Turner had come a little later, we might have had his autograph or even a group photo." ”

"John, don't forget who we are, if you do this at this gate, you will be punished for violating discipline. Another lean guard said cautiously.

The guard named John couldn't help but glance at the lean guard, and said: "If I can get Long's autograph or even a group photo, my girlfriend will definitely be able to agree to my marriage proposal, she is super obsessed with long, for love." What's the point of punishment?"

The rest of the guards, although they did not say it explicitly, also expressed their deep agreement with John's point of view from their expressions.

Of course, Chen Feng didn't know that his small appearance made the guards here so excited. Just follow Ruth Turner all the way to 10 Downing Street.

The black main entrance was built in the 1760s and has a chandelier in front of it, a famous lion's head knock knocker and white Arabic numerals "10". There is no key to the main entrance, as it can only be opened from the inside.

Ruth Turner came here with Chen Feng to call the door. After seeing that it was Ruth Turner himself, the black door opened, and inside were two sturdy doormen, although they waited for Chen Feng's appearance to see him clearly, they obviously recognized him, and they all showed a very surprised expression, but they did not leave their posts without permission, but after conducting a certain security check on Chen Feng, they put him into the house.

Entering the room, the main attraction is the large model of the earth, which was presented by French President François Mitterrand, and because it is so large, it has been cut in half to be transported into 10 Downing Street.

Walk on the stone staircase. Climbing the stairs, the walls are chronologically covered with portraits of previous prime ministers, but not portraits of current prime ministers.

Ascending to the second floor, Ruth Turner stretched out his hand again and said, "Long, please follow me." Prime Minister Tony Blair is already waiting for you in the terracotta room. ”

Originally used as a dining room by Lord Walpole, the earthen hall is now used as a guest for state banquets. There are portraits of famous generals such as the Duke of Wellington, as well as a mahogany desk belonging to Little Pete, which is more than 200 years old.

Chen Feng nodded, followed her again, and walked into this terracotta hall. Although it is a place to set up a state banquet, the space here is not very large, only about 200 square meters in size, naturally can not be compared with the Great Hall of the People in Huaguo, the decoration inside is very classical, hanging a number of oil paintings, at a glance you know that it is a real work of art.

At a table against the wall sat British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who seemed to be dealing with some paperwork, and next to him stood several aides and security guards.

When Ruth Turner walked to him with Chen Feng, he reacted, quickly stood up from his seat, hurriedly greeted him, and stretched out his hand to Chen Feng several meters away.

"Long, it's a great honor for you to accept my invitation, please take a seat, please take a seat. Blair graciously invited him to sit down at a table next to him.

"Thank you, thank you very much for inviting me to Downing Street this time. Chen Feng looked unfazed, and said kind words lightly.

And the rest of the people in the room, except for the two personal guards who seemed to be Blair, the rest of the people left the room very automatically at this time.

"Long, you may not know, I used to be a rock singer when I was younger, and my biggest wish at that time was to come up with a great record. Therefore, I admire and appreciate you, the king of today's music scene, the great singer who has repeatedly created the miracle of zào record sales. Blair's opening remarks were clearly targeted, and they immediately drew the conversation to areas of mutual interest.

The memory number in Chen Feng's brain is in the jù library, but there is information about him. After graduating from Fitz College, he spent a year in London trying to promote rock music before attending St John's College, Oxford, where he majored in law. During his studies, he was enthusiastic about playing guitars. He became a singer in a rock band called Ugly Rumours, and he also met Mary Harron, who would become a director.

"Thank you, and I also appreciate your struggle to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Chen Feng reciprocated with a compliment.

"Hehe, I think everyone will feel very honored to be complimented by you. Blair said with a happy smile. Indeed, no politician in the world today can deny the status of Long in the minds of his own voters, especially in Japan, Europe and the United States, and his words can be said to have a great influence on these voters. However, Chen Feng's remarks are not entirely flattering.

Born on May 6, 1953, at Queen Mary's Maternity Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland, Blair was the second child of Leo Blair and his wife, Hazel Blair. Leo Blair was the illegitimate son of two entertainers and was later adopted by a dockman named James Blair and his wife, Mary. Hazel's real name was Corscadden, and his father, George Croscadden, was a butcher and member of the Orange Belt who lived in Ballyshannon, Ireland, before moving to Glasgow in 1916 and dying in 1923. Blair had an older brother named William Blair and a younger sister named Sarah Blair, and his elder brother was a barrister and QC. Blair lived in Edinburgh for the first 19 months of his life, during which time his father worked as a tax inspector and at the same time studied for a bachelor of law at the University of Edinburgh. Later, in the 1950s, the Blair family moved to the suburbs of Dulwich in Adelaide, Australia, where his father was a law lecturer at the nearby University of Adelaide.

Blair had a happy childhood, with no worries about food and clothing. However, on his 11th birthday, dark clouds began to hang over his heart: his 40-year-old father suddenly suffered a stroke, and although he was rescued, he lost his ability to take care of himself, and had to be bedridden for many years, and the burden of the family fell on the shoulders of his mother Hazel. Blair was also forced to say goodbye to his comfortable time, and while his other partners traveled with his parents on holidays, he had to run to the hospital again and again to visit his father who was trapped on the hospital bed. He was precocious due to his family's misfortune and hardships, and his experience of the cold world and his worries about the future had a great impact on him, which was the main reason why he joined the Labour Party as an adult.

Despite the difficulties at home, his parents managed to send Blair to Edinburgh's best private school, Fetis Boarding School, known as Scotland's Eton College and known for its strict management and excellent teaching quality. However, the teenager Blair is both smart and mischievous, and is considered by some teachers to be naughty and unteachable. On one occasion, he was even mistaken for a thief and arrested by the police.

Despite the difficulties at home, his parents managed to send Blair to Edinburgh's best private school, Fetis Boarding School, known as Scotland's Eton College and known for its strict management and excellent teaching quality. However, the teenager Blair is both smart and mischievous, and is considered by some teachers to be naughty and unteachable. On one occasion, he was even mistaken for a thief and arrested by the police.

In 1972, Blair was admitted to St John's College, Oxford, to study law. He had been "resting" at home for a year, and had used this time to do a "social internship", going to London and then France, working as a hostess, construction worker, insurance company clerk, and dabbling in music. After entering the university, he immersed himself in books, wine and rock music, and was a typical modernist young man, who liked long hair and shawls, dressed in fancy clothes, and served as the leader of a rock band called "Ugly Rumors". He studied well, never took drugs, and was very popular with girls. He was also a member of the "Cream Strawberry Group" known at the time, wearing a wide-striped flannel shirt and a narrow-brimmed straw hat, and he loved to play and play, and his interest in football far exceeded that of politics. However, for the sake of a "girl who wants to pursue", he once went to the political group of the Oxford Student Union. After 1975, Blair's life changed profoundly. Two weeks after graduating from Oxford, his mother died of throat cancer, a blow that left him with little control. He chose to work as a lawyer just to make more money, because the memories of poverty and hardship he experienced as a teenager were too bitter. By chance, he became acquainted with the English philosopher John McMurray, a scholar who embraced the Christian model of socialism and profoundly influenced Blair's upbringing. Blair joined the Socialist Labour Party and began to move into politics.

In 1982, despite the dissuasion of friends and family, Blair decided to give up his promising career as a lawyer to run in the by-election to the House of Commons, but he failed because he did not know politics. Undeterred, he was elected to the General Election in May of the following year in 1983 at the age of 30. This year was an important milestone in Blair's political career, because in a parliamentary democracy, entering parliament is a must for all politicians. At the age of just 30, Blair achieved his first goal in politics. At this time, his party is also at a critical turning point. At this time, Labour was in crisis, with only 209 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons, the lowest since the war. It is of special significance to be in Parliament in this context.

After embarking on his official career, Blair can be described as high-spirited and prosperous, and is known as the "Labor Party prodigy". In 1985 he became the financial spokesman for Kinnock, the leader of the Labour Party, and his organisational skills won Kinnock's admiration and trust, and two years later he was appointed Labour Party's spokesman for industry and trade, dealing mainly with trade unions and the business community.

He carried out bold policy reforms, abolished the "forced membership system", and gradually formed a vigorous and resolute work style.

In 1988 he entered Labour's "shadow cabinet" as energy minister and was appointed employment secretary the following year. After Labour's defeat in the 1992 general election, Tony Blair was promoted to Home Secretary in the "shadow cabinet", calling for "the renewal and rebuilding of the country and the creation of a strong and vibrant society that is united and affirms family life". His proposals of "cracking down on crime and reducing the incentives for crime" and "full employment and equal opportunities for all" have won the hearts of the people. Coupled with his handsomeness, vigor, sharp-mindedness, eloquence, agitation, and a often touching smile on his face, Blair became a figure of public interest in the UK, and with it, for the first time, the Labour Party surpassed the ruling Conservative Party in the law and order polls. As a result, Blair was named the representative of the "reformist" wing of the Labour Party and played a pivotal role in the party.

On May 12, 1994, the sudden death of John Smith, the leader of the British Labour Party, from a heart attack provided a great opportunity for Blair. He and Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown are the most likely to become party leaders. As early as the beginning of Blair's election to the legislature, he and Brown worked in the same office, and Brown, who was two years older than him, gave him a lot of guidance on political skills, and the two were like-minded and formed a deep friendship. Brown is also seen as a rising "star" in the Labour Party, and Blair also believes that he is the most likely new leader, but after many discussions within the Labour Party, Brown finally took the overall situation into account and announced his support for Blair to run for the leadership. In this way, Blair took the lead, and the newspapers already referred to him as "alternate leader of the Labour Party". On 21 July, the results of the Labour election were announced, and Tony Blair emerged as the new leader of the Labour Party with 57% of the vote. Facing the applause of his supporters, the 41-year-old Blair looked bright.

Aiming at Downing Street, Blair has been highly regarded by the public opinion circles for taking the helm of the Labor Party, comparing him to former Labor Party leader Harder Wilson and even to President John F. Kennedy of the United States. Some even say that if he becomes prime minister, it will bring about a historic change in Britain like 1945 or 1979. The Conservative Party has also felt alarmed, with its vice-chairman, Marpres, warning that "if Blair's abilities are as good as he looks, then we will be in trouble." "Blair lived up to expectations. As soon as he took office, he waved the banner of "New Labour, New Britain," highlighted the word "new," drastically reformed the party organization, and put forward unprecedented new ideas, which caused a sensation in British politics and caused a strong shock wave, known as the "Blair phenomenon." This breathed new life into the dreary political atmosphere of Britain and the Labour Party.

He first broke down the "forbidden zone" of the Labour Party by deleting the clause in the 1918 Labour Party constitution that "the Labour Party has the responsibility to promote a socialist economy", which the previous leaders of the Labour Party wanted to do but did not dare to do, because it was the hallmark of Labour socialism. Before the Extraordinary Labour Party Congress held at the end of April 1995, Blair was still very nervous and repeatedly revised the speech with his subordinates, stipulating that the new clause was that the Labour Party's goal was to build a "vibrant economy in the public interest", and promised to build a just society, an open democracy and a healthy environment, which was the most daring reform idea in the history of the Labour Party. At the end of his address to the General Assembly, all the participants stood up and gave him a warm cheer in support of him. This directly paved the way for Labour's policy to shift from the left. Blair took advantage of the situation to carry out reforms: he changed the tradition of relying on trade unions and declared that he represented the interests of the majority of the middle and low-income classes; advocated a market economy with government intervention; guaranteed to reform education, tighten fiscal spending, and not increase income taxes, and intended to carry out moderate reforms in political and foreign affairs. In Blair's own words, the new Labour Party is no longer a left-wing party in the original sense of the word, nor a new right-wing party, but a Labour Party with a truly radical mission.

Inevitably, Mr. Blair's reforms drew criticism, with some in the party giving him the nickname "Tony Bugle" ("Blur" for "make...... Some people believe that the new policies he proposed are basically copies of the policies implemented by the Thatcher-Major Conservative government and the Clinton Democratic government in the United States, so he is "learning from Clinton and stealing Thatcher."

Although these reforms have been criticized by political opponents and traditional supporters of the Labour Party, they have been successful. Reforms in the Labour Party itself, combined with the disagreements of the Conservative government over EU policy, and the impact of a series of corruption scandals, led to a resounding victory for the "New Labour" in the 1997 British general election.

While leading the Labour Party to victory in the general election, ending his 18-year career in the opposition, and shattering the Conservative Party's dream of "five consecutive championships," Blair set two firsts in British politics: he was the youngest prime minister in Britain in nearly 180 years, and the Labour Party achieved the best results of any political party in any general election this century. This latter "first" is very meaningful to the ruling party, which means that the ruling party can act completely according to its own wishes, and can confidently and boldly carry out its own set program and policies, without fear of the attitude and reaction of the opposition party, as long as the ruling party is united. With more than three-fifths of the seats in the House of Commons, this is a very advantageous condition, and Blair is such a lucky prime minister! His path to power is full of luck. He was fortunate enough to join the Labour Party at a time when it was in its quagmire, he was fortunate enough to meet Alexander Owen during his job search, and he met John Smith through him, and he was fortunate enough to get the "Famous Five" in his bid for a seat in Parliament He was fortunate to be favored by Kinnock, he was fortunate not to wait long for the leadership because of Smith's sudden death, he was fortunate to have withdrawn from the race and fully supported him in the race for leadership, and he was fortunate to have come to work when the whole Labour Party woke up to the need to reform the party

He was fortunate that the Conservative Party had not performed well in recent years......

But in fact, although Blair is lucky, he cannot deny his struggle to be self-reliant, and without his own struggle and efforts, it would not have been possible to become the prime minister of the United Kingdom now. Moreover, in Chen Feng's memory, he is the first Labour Prime Minister in British history to be re-elected three times. He is now in his second term. Being able to serve three consecutive terms undoubtedly speaks to his abilities. Although Chen Feng knew that his public support was continuing to decline after the Iraq war, according to the original history, although he was re-elected for three consecutive terms, he finally resigned amid opposition from all walks of life in China, and the final outcome can be said to be very imperfect.

"Thank you, but, first of all, Your Excellency, can you tell me the purpose of your invitation to be a guest?" Chen Feng said straight to the point.

Blair was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, smiled and changed the subject: "It's only nine o'clock now, but do you mind if our lunch starts right away?"

Chen Feng shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you, but my stomach is not hungry." ”

"Alright, let's eat later. Blair said politely, and after a pause, he changed the subject and said, "Let's continue with what we talked about yesterday." What do you think of the war in Iraq?"

Chen Feng shrugged and said, "I remember, I seem to have said it yesterday. ”

"Hehe, it seems that you didn't say it in much detail yesterday, but I remember you saying that 'if it is something that can be resolved through political negotiations and mediation, it is better not to resort to force', right? On the issue of Iraq, we have made a lot of political efforts before, and I believe you know it, but Saddam Hussein still insisted on going his own way and refused to accept our request for political negotiations. That's why we have to resort to force. What's more, our war this time is entirely aimed at overthrowing Saddam's rule and returning Iraq to democracy.

Chen Feng couldn't help but sneer at his remarks in his heart. But on the surface, it was naturally difficult to show it, so I had to say: "On this issue, I can only say that I personally hate war very much. For the rest, I don't want to comment too much. ”

For Chen Feng's answer, Blair was obviously a little disappointed. But he reacted quickly and went straight to the point: "Long, in addition to inviting you to a light meal, I also want to invite you to stay in our UK for a few more days, preferably, just hold a singing party in London." ”

When Chen Feng heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this request, because, tomorrow is my son's first birthday, and I want to go back today to celebrate his birthday and celebrate him." ”

"Oh, I see. Blair suddenly realized, "So, you really already have a son?"

Chen Feng didn't believe that he didn't know about himself, and nodded.

"Then I really want to congratulate you, I remember that your traditional Chinese birthday is very important, right?" Blair said with a smile.

Chen Feng spread his hands and said, "Yes, so, I can't accept your invitation, I'm really sorry." ”

"It's okay, actually, I'm just asking for it for our big fans in the UK. "If you don't mind, my family and I would very much like you to come to our house, which is next to No. 11." ”

Chen Feng refused again with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I can only do it next time, because I have to go back to celebrate my son's birthday, and I can only stay in London for another hour or two at most, so in order to avoid your family feeling disappointed, I think it's better next time." ”

For Chen Feng's refusal again, Blair didn't see any displeasure on his face, but said in a regretful tone, "That's really a pity." But before you leave, I'd like to get your autograph, and a picture of me with you, okay?"

Of course, Chen Feng did not refuse this request, so he nodded and agreed.

So, Chen Feng signed five signatures for him on the spot, and each of them sent his own blessings. Later, at his request, Chen Feng took photos with him at various locations at 10 Downing Street.

After about half an hour, Chen Feng officially submitted his resignation to him.

At Chen Feng's insistence, Blair didn't want to stay long, so he personally sent Chen Feng out of Downing Street.

But when the two walked to the gate on foot under the protection of a large number of guards, Chen Feng couldn't help but be surprised, because outside the iron gate, there were a large number of reporters holding cameras, video cameras and microphones.

As soon as they saw two people coming, and one of them was really long, the crowd of at least hundreds of reporters blocking the door suddenly became commotion.

"This ...... What the hell is going on?" Chen Feng said in a low voice with a frown. When I came to Downing Street this time, not many people knew about it, but I didn't expect so many media reporters to come here, and I didn't need to guess that someone had leaked the news in advance.

"Long, it looks like someone leaked the news that you came here, but don't worry, I'm sure these media reporters have no ill will towards you. Blair approached Chen Feng in a pretending intimacy and whispered, while stretching out his other hand and waving frequently to the group of reporters gathered at the door.

Seeing Blair like this, Chen Feng couldn't help but slander in his heart, was he designed by his "old fox" this time? In Chen Feng's memory, the year 2003 was very difficult for Blair.

At the beginning of this year, despite the opposition of the vast majority of countries in the world, including European allies, the United States insisted on using force against Iraq without authorization from the United Nations, and Blair chose to support the United States. It was commented by the British newspapers of the time as a "desperate gamble".

Blair did not hesitate to mortgage his three most important political capitals for this war. Blair was elected prime minister as the new Labour Party, and has been in power for more than six consecutive years, setting a record for the Labour Party's continuous government. But on Iraq, he defended the war in the face of the largest million-strong anti-war march in Britain's history on February 15. Left behind a bad reputation for ignoring public opinion.

Blair's second political capital is the unity and vitality of the Labour Party, which is an important reason why the Labour Party has been able to win over other parties. But his hardline stance on the Iraq war caused a bitter split within the party, with three ministers and senior officials, led by party heavyweight, former foreign secretary and leader of the Labour House of Commons, Ruben Cook, resign in anger and form an opposition within the party.

Blair's third political capital was his new European foreign policy, which carefully cultivated good relations with the European Union, especially France and Germany, so that Britain could easily play a role in diplomacy as a "bridge between Europe and the United States". However, on the issue of the use of force against Iraq, Blair resolutely rode the American chariot and formed a trend of confrontation with France and Germany.

At the end of May, when Blair visited Iraq like a war victor inspecting the battlefield, a BBC news article about Downing Street exaggerating intelligence that "Iraq used weapons of mass destruction in 45 minutes" not only ruined Blair's scenery, but also triggered a protracted government "intelligencegate" crisis. From June to September, the British Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry conducted two investigative hearings, Blair's public relations director Campbell and the BBC battle, and the suicide of Dr. Kelly, an expert in weapons verification, until Justice Hutton was invited to preside over the court investigation, and the British Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Defence, and the Chairman of the Intelligence Committee testified in court, and tens of thousands of pieces of evidence, including internal government documents, were exposed...... Ordinary people watch the embarrassing performances of big names like they watch TV series.

If you look closely at the contents of the investigation, in fact, they are all details, and the reason why "intelligencegate" has become the biggest political incident that has attracted much attention in Britain in a few months is that people's suspicion of this war and their distrust of the Blair government are the deepest reason. At the Labour Party congress on September 28 this year, a number of British media polls showed that 50% of Britons wanted Prime Minister Tony Blair to resign. According to a survey by The Independent, about 60 percent of Labor's members believe that war is wrong, more than 80 percent believe that Blair has exaggerated the facts of the Iraq threat in order to take military action, and only one-quarter of voters believe that the government is telling the truth about Iraq's weapons. Labour's support is as low as 30 per cent.

Blair's painstaking efforts to repair diplomatic losses after the war had some effect, with Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Jacques Chirac visiting Britain in quick succession. But Blair's efforts to win the hearts and minds of the people at home have had little success.

When US President George W. Bush paid a state visit to Britain in November, more than 100,000 people participated in the largest demonstration on weekdays, which was a protest against Bush and Blair's war in Iraq. At the party congress, Blair's lackluster approach to domestic reform was sharply criticized.

Although the end of the year approaches, the arrest of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is undoubtedly a wonderful Christmas present for Blair. But this is at most a plus for the outcome of the war, and the biggest problem that Blair has to solve is the basis of the war. Until weapons of mass destruction are found in Iraq, it will be difficult for him to extricate himself. At this time, comparing the energetic and talkative Blair at the beginning of the year with the current tired and tired Blair, it is not difficult to see that Blair's "trouble" 2003 will not be easy.
