absolutely, 'authoritarianism' refers to a raft of measures and attitude from Blair that have undermined the democracy and human rights in this country. It is ridiculous to say that this article is NPOV. I spent a long time on here last year trying to correct 'David's' bias, but it is just right back again. I think David should be barred from editting this page, he consistently makes it pro-Blair without even realising as he see everything through a rosy pro-blair paradigm. He should be banned, because he admits that his income as a Labour councillor is dependant upon building support for Labour. He cannot be neutral and is an awful troll
