Blair Discovers 3rd Gear
 Tony Blair, who famously claimed to possess “no reverse gear” yesterday signalled that he has not yet explored all of the possibilities offered by his gearbox.
Commenting the unprecedented losses his party suffered in last weeks local and European elections, the UK Prime Minister refuted the idea that this was in any way a sign of public discontent with New Labour policy.
Terrified British passengers in the Blair bus immediately started wondering in hushed tones whether the phrase reveals that Mr Blair’s bus has other problems besides the lack of a reverse gear, which alone would be useful as the bus thunders into the Cul-de-Sac called Iraq.
The prime minister’s comment that “Now is not a time for a change of direction but it is the time for a change of gear.”resulted in an immediate flurry of terrified rumours that Mr Blair’s bus may also lack a steering wheel.
Political commentators believe that the Prime Minister's strategy of moving up a gear may in fact be a cynical attempt to disguise the lack of steering capability by increasing the vehicle’s speed to a point where no-one can actually focus on it enough to see where it is going
