As we bid a fond and seemingly endless farewell to our B-Actor-in-Chief, we learn that Great Britain has its own elderly scenery-chewer taking up politics:
Blair's name and face, once the Labour Party's key electoral assets, are invisible on most election literature this time.
The opposition Conservatives' chances of an electoral fillip, however, have been dented by the rise of the hitherto marginal UK Independence Party (UKIP).
A policy of withdrawal from the European Union and use of personalities such as actress Joan Collins and a talk-show host forced off the air for criticising Arabs have helped the UKIP storm to a remarkable near-20 percent showing in polls.
Next season, Joan gives Michael Howard a fatal heart attack during sex, and convinces Tony Blair to launch a preemptive attack on Moldovia.
