ah, i see you're changing your argument as to what is defined as 'Tory' to suit your needs

"breaking up nhs and getting more private money into it, freeing more schools to go independent or private, then hard to argue blair was a tory." your original words - both of which Blair started/carried on.

The fact that he didn't manage to go as far as the Tories are now proposing to do means not a jot - unless we're going to take your reasoning to it's logical conclusion - Thatcher didn't go as far as Blair in actually hading over the running of a hospital to the private sector therefore she is less 'Tory' than Blair(/Brown) ever was...
