That's just completely wrong. Blair wasn't anywhere near as right wing as thatcher, and he also wasn't very, very left wing either. Blair switched between centre left and centre right depending on various issues.
I don't ever remember Blair pardoning criminals and excusing them for everything. However, our prisons are bursting with people. We have been running a costly and ineffective war on drugs for decades as one major **** up.
