Moderator reacts to announcement of Blair departure
Speaking today, the Moderator of the General Assembly,
the Right Rev Dr Alan McDonald, said:
“Tony Blair’s achievement in leading the
United Kingdom for ten years is remarkable. Though the
ever-widening gap between rich and poor, the attachment
to American foreign policy, and the decision in favour
of a new generation of nuclear weapons are all matters
of great regret, I would rather concentrate on positives. The
provision of undreamt of resources for education and
the health service, and the speed with which the promise
of devolved government was delivered in Scotland and
Wales, should be a source of pride for him. Above
all, history should remember him for the peace process
in Northern Ireland.”
