This burst of charity will not fool Blair

Ever since 2001, the comparison between Tony Blair and William
Gladstone has become columnar stock in trade. Matthew Parris, ever
sharp, was one of the first to draw it after 9/11. Lots of the rest of
us have echoed it since. And, yes, some of the similarities between the
prime minister and his four-time Victorian Liberal predecessor are
striking. Few British leaders have combined the religious, the morally
driven, the interventionist and the impetuous more readily than these
two.
