Blair continues to spread legacy

Lord Blair of Belmarsh was reported to be in a stable condition last night after another attempt to reform his bathchair.

The mishap was the second in less than a month, but spokespersons have denied that the 67-year-old ex-Prime Minister's health is deteriorating.

"He's just the same as he was in his great days," said Nurse Patsy Chopitt of the Ronald Macdonald Supersize Rest Home, where Lord Blair spends much of the media's time.

The armour-plated bathchair, a personal gift from the late George W Bush, is equipped with a Mk 2000 Homeland Honchoâ„¢ internal combustion engine and a king-size heat-seeking colostomy bag.

Details of the accident have not been forthcoming, but political commentator Bradley Ichneumon said today that Lord Blair's past passion for reform may hold some clues.

In the absence of opportunities for official military action, the ex-Prime Minister will probably have fallen back on basic political techniques, Dr Ichneumon said.

"Going on his past record, it seems very likely that the lower-paid medical staff, and any lower-paid patients who were in the vicinity, will have undergone a certain degree of humanitarian copro-immersion," Dr Ichneumon said.

Lord Blair has been concerned about his legacy for the past decade and a half. He is also thought to have grown increasingly more morose over the past two years, ever since his 18-year-old son Leo put himself up for adoption by a Batman-caped member of one of Britain's many illegal organisations.
